Easy Wreath

Alright, so I was finally inspired enough to create a blog.  We'll see how long it lasts.  Let me mention that I have very little patience when it comes to crafting, so if you see a difficult-looking item, don't be fooled.  Same goes for fashion--if I can pull it off, so can you!


Let's start off with a super simple wreath that my friend and I made for her mom (seminole-inspired, of course!).  Future crafts will have step-by-step photos, sorry.

Things you need:
-14in craft wreath
-Yellow silk ribbon, ~12 yards
-2 sheets of felt, 8.5 x 11 in
-Scissors
-Tape
-Glue gun and glue
-Needle and thread


Instructions:
1. Tape the end of the ribbon to your wreath.  Making sure to cover up the tape, begin wrapping the wreath.  Finish your wreath by gluing the end of the ribbon to the back of the wreath.
2. Cut different size circles out of your foam sheets--the bigger the circle, the bigger the flower.  No need for the circles to be perfectly round, you won't notice a difference later.  Cut the circles in a spiral from the outside to the center.  Starting from the center, roll the spiral into a flower.  Tape the bottom of the flower so that it will hold it's shape while you finish the rest of the flowers. 
3. Roughly stitch the bottom of the flowers with similar color so that it retains it's shape.
4. Arrange flowers on the wreath and then glue in place.


What we could have improved:
-If you're going to use a straw wreath, you're better off with yarn.
-If you're going to use ribbon (like we did), use a foam wreath so that it lays flat.
