I have decided to explore my crafty side in my newly found free time. Back in November I made an awesome acorn wreath, but now that Fall and the holidays are over, I need a new wreath that will get me through the next few winter months.
Luckily I stumbled across this fantastic post by Domestifluff and it is exactly what I was looking for! A beautiful white fluffy wreath it is.
Supplies:
– a 14 inch circle Styrofoam wreath form
– approximately 2.5 yards of white felt (I ended up using 350 circles to be exact and still have felt leftover)
– white glass ball straight pins (I recommend getting the white glass ball pins to save your fingers–they also blend well so you can be a little lazy)
– scissors
– a 3 inch circle template (I used a Ball jar lid)
– a pencil
– wreath hanger

I did spruce up my wreath hanger by adding Valentine felt hearts. Then I can switch it out with some St. Patty’s love here in a month or so.
I was able to get the wreath form at Michael’s for half price at $5.29, the felt at Joann’s half price for $7.90, and 2 boxes of pins (480 total) 40% off for $8. So all in all, the wreath cost $21.19. And a WHOLE lotta time. From start to finish it took me 9 hours. But I have to say I am happy with the way it turned out. What do you think?
