Make a Felt Rosette Wreath
Who doesn’t love a cute little wreath for under $10? Plus rosettes are hot this season and easy to make! You just need some patience, some felt and basic sewing skills.
To Make this Wreath You’ll Need :
-A small styrofoam wreath form
-3/4 yard of wool felt
-Needle and thread
-scissors
-1/3 yard red ticking fabric
-Low temp hot glue gun (HGG)Â or Extreme tacky glue
Cut your fabric strips depending on how big you want your rosettes. My largest rosettes were 2 inch by 18inch strips. My smallest ones were 1 inch by 8 inch strips.
To make a rosette; start by twisting your felt strip and then rolling the first twist back on itself. Sew it as you go along with a simple stitch, twisting and folding it, following the curve around doing an overhand stitch. Decide what the top and what the bottom is, and keep all of the stitches on that side It does not have to be pretty, that side will be glued down. When it’s as big as you want it; snip the excess felt off and sew the loose end down.
When you have all of your rosettes made, wrap 2 inch strips of felt around your wreath form, gluing or sewing them together as you go. To get the bumpy texture mine has, give the felt an occasional “twist” on each go around. Sew or glue the last piece down.
Make sure you play with your rosette pattern before you glue them on.
to make sure you know where you want to place them. Hot glue the rosettes onto the wrapped felt piece, add your ripped strip of ticking and viola! You’re done for under $10!
You can also make it in white or any other color as well!
Let the Christmas crafting begin!!!!
