    Felt Flower Wreath Tutorial for Fall or Any Time of Year

    September 4, 2016 by Patti Estep 38 Comments

    Jump to How-to Card
    Top is a felt flower wreath. Under shows three images, a rose shaped felt flower, a daisy felt flower and felt leaves.

    This felt flower wreath is easy to make and is perfect for fall. All you have to do is change the color scheme and you can have different looks for any time of year.

    I've been wanting to make flowers out of felt for a while now. So when I came across this pretty fall colored pack, I thought it would be perfect for making a felt flower wreath for our front door.

    Supplies for felt flower wreath including, wood frame and fall colored felt.

    DIY Felt Flower Wreath

    Supplies

    • Any kind of wreath base - Grapevine, Straw, Picture Frame (used here)
    • Fall Colored Felt 
    • Needle & Thread
    • Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
    • Fabric glue or all-purpose glue
     Framed picture from Goodwill

    I picked up this cute frame at the Goodwill store, around the corner from my house, for $2.99. I popped out the glass and picture to use the frame for the base. I'll keep the pic and matte in my stash of stuff. Who knows when it will come in handy?

    Felt flower templates

    It did take a while to trace and cut out all of the flowers. I ended up doing this at night while watching TV. It was a good way to keep my hands busy, and keep me from snacking.

    Flower templates to printable

    Here are a few templates you can use for your flowers. Just right-click the image and choose "save as." Then save it to your computer. Import to Word or just open in a photo viewer to print.

    Felt Daisy Flower stacked

    You can easily stack three different shapes on top with a contrasting color for the center.

    Daisy Felt Flower sewn together in the middle with embroidery floss.

    Then with a doubled black (or any color) thread, sew from one edge to the other on the circle, making a star. Three stitches in total. Then pull it taut and this will give the flower a puckered look. Stitch a little notch in the back, and knot to finish.

    For the cream-colored rosettes, you can use one of the larger templates. Start cutting at one edge, about 1/4 of an inch, around and around. Stop when you get to the size of the base. Then using some fabric glue start rolling, and glue the beginning piece. Continue to add a little glue along the edge here and there, forming a rosette, until you reach the base. Put some more glue on the base, and cover the bottom.

    You can make some pretty leaves by sandwiching a bit of wire between two identical pieces of felt with some hot glue. Twist a few stems together to form groups of leaves.

    Painted square picture frame

    You can paint your frame. This one was painted in shades of blue with some black, white, and gray, to complement all the fall colors.

    Using a dot of hot glue attach the large flowers to the frame first, followed by the rosettes and leaves. This is where you can get creative. I wanted some of the frame to show but it might be nice to cover the entire piece with flowers. However, I probably wouldn't bother painting it then.

    The great thing about this wreath is that you can hang it square.

    Wooden frame painted blue with autumn colored felt flowers glued at the top and bottom.

    Or you can hang it on the corner with a diamond shape.

    This felt flower wreath has a nice cozy feel, and I love it for fall.

    However, you could certainly make this for any season by changing the colors or choosing colors that work well in your space for a year-round look. Wouldn't it make a pretty decoration for Christmas?

      This is so pretty Patti! I love it! I did a wreath last year that had an antique frame at the back and I just love that look. Your felt flowers are perfect for Fall and look pretty easy to make. My kind of project 😉 Thanks so much for linking it up to our Inspiration Galore Project Party last week. You are one of my Features over at http://www.recreateddesigns.com tomorrow. Pinned and shared. Have a great weekend!
