I just finished making a wreath, and I LOVE how it turned out.
I basically followed the tutorial you will find HERE, but I used a 12" wreath form, since that's what I had on hand.
For my embellishment, I freehanded cutting out a flower in 2 sizes from a felted sweater that used to be my daughters. I didn't like the way it fit her, but I liked the texture and color, so I felted it and put it away in my fabric drawer. I knew eventually I would find a great craft for it!
I used 6 sheets of 12"x12" scrapbooking paper, but I ended up with about 70 extra loops. You just cut the paper into 1"x4" strips, hot glue them in half, and hot glue them around the wreath form. The tutorial I linked is fabulous!
The only change I made to it was adding a 1" wide strip of paper around the center of the wreath, because you could see my ugly green foam wreath form, and it didn't look too cute.
So there you have it! I love my new wreath!
