Summer Yarn Wreath

Our front door has been in need of a new wreath for a long time.  I finally took the time to make one. I have fallen in love with the many yarn wreaths in blog land and knew that was what I wanted to make.  I purchased some Sensations Lovebug yarn at Joann's for a different project (coming up).  This yarn is so soft and  this color was perfect.

 I had a wreath form waiting around to be used so I wrapped the yarn around it.  It took two rounds to fill it in nicely because of the texture of this yarn.

 Next step: make a messCreate~ I dug around for some felt in my craft room.  I really didn't have the colors I really wanted but I made do with what I had.  I used different size bowls to draw some circles on the felt and I cut them out.  I always have my cup of coffee to keep me company.

 I cut the circles into swirls.

 Here they are all cut up

 I also cut some into strips

 Fold them in half and hot glue or stitch them~I hot glued~so much easier and quicker

 Then cut notches along the folded edge

 Roll them up and you have these cuties

 Don't forget to hot glue the end

 Next~finish the rosettes~I have craft ADD and hop around from one thing to another~maybe one day I will complete them in order~

Roll the felt swirls

 Hot glue the end~done~you have a pretty rosette.  I made some larger and some smaller ones.

 Hot glue your flowers to your wreath.

 The finished product.  Isn't it sweet?
