Holly Berry Felt Wreath

Here are the materials you will need:
4 sheets of white felt
1 sheet of green glitter felt (or if you don’t like the glitter, just a little stiffer felt)
3 small red christmas balls
foam wreath (if you are using white felt, a white wreath is best)
scissors
hot glue gun
ribbon for hanging wreath

Step 1: Start by cutting out 2 inch circles of white felt.  I needed 80 – 85 circles for my wreath.  I started out by tracing a 2 inch circle on my felt and cut it out.  Then I stacked 2 sheets of felt together and used my first cut out as my guide to cut out the rest.  Don’t look too closely at the accuracy of my circles.

Step 2:  Once all the circles were cut out I started gluing down my circles in a shingle type pattern.  I tacked the first 2 rows of my felt circles down with just a dot of glue so that when I came all the way around, I could tuck the other circles underneath and then really glue them down.

Step 3:  The same as step 2, just keep gluing, just keep gluing.  Until all of the foam wreath is covered.

Step 4: I cut out 2 holly leaves from the green felt.  I used the glitter felt because I thought it would add some fun to the wreath, and because it was a little stiffer and would hold it’s shape if it went over the edge of the wreath.

Step 5: Remove the hanging part off the end of the christmas balls and hot glue the holly berries and leaves onto your wreath.
