Owl Yarn Wreath



Supplies
Styrofoam Wreath
Yarn of choice (I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Mustard Color)
Felt (maroon, brown, and green)
Stick (from my yard)
Crocheted Owl (you could use a little bird or anything you find that's totally adorable)
Hot Glue

I started by wrapping the wreath in the yarn, which does take a good amount of time. To make the roses cut out all different size circles from the felt. The bigger the circle, the bigger the flowers will be. Cut around the outside of the circle to give it wavy look. Then cut at any point on the circle in a spiral shape so u will end up with a long thing strip. About a 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.

Now to start rolling the flowers you will take the end of the felt where you began cutting and start to roll. Make sure to keep it tight in the beginning so it holds. Keep rolling and at the very end use the last piece to cover the bottom and hot glue the flower together. ( I will post pictures on how to do this in another blog, eventually.)

To make the leaves I cut them out in a leafy shape and used a pencil to drop on the veins in the leafs. Totally optional. 

Then just hot glue everything in place where your heart desires. I even hot glued leaves to my stick and I thought that was just super cute!

The total cost of this wreath was about $5  Most expensive part was the yarn and I splurged to get that specific color. I really enjoyed making this wreath and think that it is my best one so far! The picture doesn't do it justice!
