Bright Summer Wreath with Felt Flowers

Share this post

This post was originally published way back in 2014.  But this same summer wreath is hanging on my front door this summer so I wanted to update this post and share a video on how to make these simple felt flowers.  A bright cheery wreath like this one can really stand the test of time and look great in your home year after year.  

I have used felt for a variety of projects; my kids flannel board, flower headbands and this pretty felt flower pillow.  It’s a versatile fabric, cuts easily and can be secured with hot glue.

Watch how to make felt flowers for a summer wreath

Supplies

• Foam wreath form
• Aqua yarn
• Felt in white, pink, green and yellow
• Scissors or Big Shot
• Hot Glue
• Twine
• Washi Tape
• Cardstock

Start by wrapping a foam wreath form in aqua yarn.  This takes some time but gives great overall texture and color.  I’ve made a few wreaths using this technique including this winter wreath.  

Next, make 4 felt flowers using the technique in the video above and hot glue them to the yarn wreath.  

Finally, to add a little summer color make a washi tape banner.  Line a piece of cardstock with washi tape in a variety of summer colors and patterns.  Then cut triangles from the cardstock.  Use washi tape to attach the triangles to a piece of twine to create a banner.  Then just tie the banner to the wreath.  

This summer wreath has been in my home or on my front door for 4 years.  I am impressed with how well the color has held up!  The felt flowers and yarn are pretty durable and have not changed a bit either.  

I hope you are inspired to create a  bright summer wreath for your home.  Or use this felt flower tutorial to make headbands or other decorative crafts.
