3595: St. Patrick's Day Felt Wreath

Are you in need of a little green?
The pink came down over the last few days. I loved having pink around my house for Valentine's Day. Love was in the air.
As I was contemplating my decor for St. Patrick's Day... I knew I needed a new front door wreath.
I had a different idea in mind when I picked up the foam wreaths, but this idea came to me.
A felt wreath with three different colors of green felt.

I think it turned out very colorful!!

Here are the instructions:

St. Patrick's Day Felt Wreath

By Carrie Perrins

foam wreath
2 sheets of felt each-three different colors of green
hot glue/gun
burlap
jute twine
hole puncher
wooden clover
green acrylic paint

Directions:

1. Cut your felt into 1 inch strips.

2. Starting at the back of your foam wreath, hot glue the felt piece to the wreath.

3. Wrap the felt around the front of the foam wreath, making sure it covers the white foam wreath. Hot glue again in the back, leaving the extra felt.

*This was tricky. I just eyeballed it and even overlapped some felt to make sure the wreath was covered. *

4. Alternate colors.

5. Continue wrapping and glueing until the entire wreath is covered.

6. Cut a banner out of burlap. Punch two holes with hole puncher.

7. Paint a wooden shamrock with the green acrylic paint. Let dry.

8. Glue the green shamrock onto the center of the burlap banner.

9. Hang with jute twine.
