Felt Flower Tutorial

Many of you asked me yesterday how to make the flowers I put on my wreath, and if they were easy.

The answer is YES! they are easy!!

I followed a tutorial from Little Things Bring Smiles, which is a beautiful blog by the way!

In her tutuorial she shows you how to make all of these different shapes of felt flowers.

And all I did to make the flowers bigger than the ones shown here was to combine two flowers that I cut out.

After I rolled one flower, I took the second flower I cut out and kept rolling on the same flower.

This will make more sense when you read the tutorial! :)

Other than that, I just cut my own leaves in the shape that I wanted them and hot glued them all on!

Hope this helps!!

Yarn Wreath

While we have been moving the past couple of weeks, I made time for one craft ;)

I was dying to make a yarn wreath for the fall.

I decided to go with a carrot orange yarn, and used brown and cream felt for the flowers.

Here's how it turned out...

I LOVE IT!!

It's the perfect addition to our new little porch.

Now I just need a few pumpkins :)

restful sunday

Hi everyone!

Hope you all have a restful Sunday today, and a great labor day weekend!

We'll probably be moving into our house some more, so I don't know how "restful" ours will be, but it's okay :)

You can still rest in spirit and think about the good, and praise God for what he has blessed you with!
