I’m so excited to show you this project!! I LOVE how it turned out!!
I found the idea on pinterest a couple weeks ago when I was looking for one to make for this upcoming holiday. This one really stuck out to me! I had to search a couple of blogs to get to the tutorial for it, but I finally found it and got to work.
And let me tell you, this was NOT a one sitting wreath project!! It took about 3 hours to finish it completely. Of course, I was doing it at night while watching a new favorite TV show with the hubs, soooo, I would get distracted easily. It was very time consuming. If you’re not patient and like fast results, this wreath probably isn’t for you, but if you put on a favorite movie or watch TV, you can actually enjoy doing it.
Here’s the finished result:
I used a LOT of pins!! I had to go back to the store to buy more because I ran out. I decided I was ok with leaving the pins in. At first I thought I’d pin a bunch and then glue the felt pieces on with hot glue, but that added another step and I really didn’t want to do that. I’m a lazy crafter! 🙂
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the stars from sticker paper and then sandwiched floral wire I bought at walmart for $1.27 in between 2 star stickers.
My rows aren’t as full as they could be. I might go back and add more for next year.
I am really please with the finished project!! It turned out a lot better than I thought it would! Doesn’t it look great on my front door?!! 🙂 If you want to make one head on over to Capital B where I got the tutorial from. It’s easy, just time consuming!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great weekend!!
This came out amazing, Megan! It looks just like the original. I love this! I had pinned something similar but I love the little springy stars.
wow! i love it! you did fantastic! I thought that was the demo pic you got your idea from..lol.

I think you did a great job! I’m so uncrafty that I love seeing what those with talent can do!
Thanks for linking up over at Super Sunday at Who Needs a Cape! Hope we see you again on Sunday!
Thanks Heather! 🙂
What cut/size and shape (squares or circles) are the felt pieces?
They’re about 2×2. I didn’t measure them out perfectly, I just guessed and cut.
Thank you very much. I made a Valentine’s heart one but I had to made 3 inch diameter circles. Cutting circles are more time consuming.
I’m sure they are!! Do you have a picture or blog post of it? I’d love to see it!
I believe I have the wreath posted under Valentine’s Day on Pinterest.
Oh awesome! I’ll go check it out!
