why i love pinterest: felt flower wreath

I am always on the hunt for a good wreath.  It's easy to find one for fall or Christmas, but for Spring?  Not as easy unless you are a big fan of fake flowers.  And I am not.  Well, I guess these are technically fake, but you know what I mean, right?  Just nod your head and move along.

So I found this wreath on Pinterest and took inspiration from it!  I did change the way I rolled up the flowers, but I chose my beloved turquoise and yellow in felt, and then I used some of that left over drop cloth from my tree skirt project.

It did take me a few hours to roll up the rosettes, but they were happy hours since I was catching up on Mad Men.  How did I only just start watching this show?  I know I'm going off on a tangent, but it is really some awesome television and I am now hooked.  {special thanks to Kelly, for getting me hooked, and for sharing her netflix password}  If you haven't watched it, you have time to catch up before the 5th season starts.  Especially if you watch it like I did, every. second. that. I. could.

Anyway, I rolled up quite a few rosettes in varying size.

I used fabric glue on these.  Then I grabbed my grapevine wreath and a glue gun, and started gluing!

I liked the look of them all packed together on one side, but if you made a bunch of the rosettes, you could of course cover the entire wreath. 

Once I had all of them glued on, I took it directly to my front door and hung it.  I like it! 

Now I'm all set for Spring!  Just in time since flowers are on their way towards blooming here in South Carolina.  I wonder what Missouri will be like when we move next month?  Full of flowers or blankets of snow?  It's hard to predict weather in the Midwest!
