Felt Flower Wreath DIY

Now that spring has finally sprung, it's time to work on seasonal craft projects. This pretty felt flower wreath is the perfect place to start. Not only is it surprisingly easy to make but it will instantly brighten up any door or room.

The trick to creating felt flowers is to experiment with layers, folding, and size. This will give the flowers dimension, especially if you vary the techniques. With that in mind, this tutorial explains how to make five (yes, five) different types of felt flowers with variations for each one. We've even included a free printable flower pattern to get you started.

Also, feel free to customize the colors for this project. We chose a bright spring-inspired color palette, but you can go for pastels, jewel tones, or even neon shades. Read on to learn how to make a DIY felt flower wreath, with plenty of tips and tricks.

Cut a long strip of felt. Next, cut slits across the long edge to create a fringe.

Apply a bit of hot glue to one end of the felt.

Roll up the end.

Continue applying hot glue and rolling the felt in short intervals.

Continue until the entire strip of felt is rolled up.

On a piece of felt, trace the petal pattern. Feel free to use the small or large petal.

Cut out the felt shapes.

Apply hot glue to the bottom edge of one petal.

Stick it to the fringe flower center.

Glue another petal across the first one and then one on each side. This creates a flower with four petals.

To make a flower with eight petals, simply glue four more to the bottom. Each one should be placed between the top petals.

For another variation, wrap the fringe roll with a second color to create a two-tone center and then continue making the flower.

Prepare a fringe flower center using the instructions above.

Trace the small or large petal pattern on felt.

Cut out the petals.

Apply a vertical line of hot glue to the bottom half of a petal.

Fold the petal in half. Hold it for a few seconds to let the glue dry.

Apply hot glue along the bottom edge.

Stick it to the fringe flower center.

Continue folding and gluing petals around the center.

Switch up the size of the petals to make variations of this style.

Trace the five-petal flower pattern on felt.

Cut out the flower.

On one petal, apply a vertical strip of hot glue, starting near the top and moving toward the center.

Fold the petal in half and hold it for a few seconds.

Repeat with the remaining petals.

Cut out half circles of felt. They don't need to be exact replicas of each other, but they should be around the same size.

On one half circle, apply hot glue in a vertical line.

Roll it up to create the center of the flower.

On the remaining half circles, apply hot glue along the bottom edge.

Stick it to the flower center. Add one more across from it and then one on each side. This creates a flower with four petals.

Have fun with this! Try switching up the center and using the fringe version. Another option is to fold and glue the petals in half before gluing them to the center. If you want a fuller flower, simply add a bottom layer of petals.

Cut out half ovals or circles but with wavy edges. Keep it organic and fluid; this doesn't have to be precise.

Apply a vertical line of hot glue to one half oval.

Roll it up to create the center.

Apply hot glue along the bottom edge of a felt petal.

Glue it to the flower center. Add three more petals to complete the flower.

Make enough flowers to fill up your wreath form.

Hot glue faux leaves to the wreath form. Use the cutting portion of the pliers to trim stems as needed.

Hot glue the felt flowers to the wreath.

To display your felt flower wreath, use a wreath hanger or hook. Happy spring!
