Art class is mine! It's been my favorite since kindergarten!
So it's probably no surprise to you that Pinterest is also MY FAVORITE!
A couple years ago I had no idea what to get a family friend? And really what can you buy for someone, who already owns EVERYTHING? So I decided to get on Pinterest and throw together this wreath that I found...
And it was a success!! Yay! So I figured why not make it for a couple family members for Christmas... Again, a success!
The best part about these wreaths is that you could get them done in about 2 days and that's with letting them sit and dry!
It's super fun and easy. The best part about these wreaths is that they are really hard to screw up!
So here's how you do it:
-go to a Walmart or Michaels and pick up a wreath (they are about $5)
- pick out a letter style that you like best, and pick out the size letter you want. For this specific wreath you want them to be prepainted white ($2)
-yarn color of you choice. I picked out a thicker yarn but any kind or type will work ($4 for the yarn I picked)
-3 pieces of felt (any color, 97 cents for one piece)
- lastly choose the color fabric you would like to make the flowers. I used 3 different colors on mine. Preplan what colors you want to be the "large" "medium" and "small" flowers.
Each flower you make is going to be 1 and a half inches wide. But I normally just eyeball the 1.5 inches. I've found when they aren't perfectly cut, the flowers end up looking a lot fuller!
