I saw this super cute wreath and decided that I needed one.
Here is what you need:
A foam wreath form
(mine is 12" in diameter), instructions for how I made it are here
A skein of Lime Green Fun Fur yarn
(I got mine for $3 at JoAnns with a 40% off coupon)
Straight pins with different colored heads
(I got these for $1.80 at Hobby Lobby with 40% off)
Daisy trim
(I had this on hand, but you could buy it at any fabric/craft store)
A ribbon to hang your wreath
(this was from my stash too)
Take your yarn and wrap it around the wreath form. Tie a not at the beginning to secure it. Keep wrapping and wrapping until you make it all the way around. I used the whole thing of yarn. I kept the yarn close together, but not touching (maybe a little less than 1/16" apart). Once you have it all wrapped, tie another knot to secure the end.
Now you are ready to add the flowers. Cut a single flower from your trim and insert a pin through the middle. Then put the pin in your nice "grassy" wreath. Put in as many flowers as you want.
Then I tied a pretty pink ribbon around it and that was it! A fun springtime wreath! Now I just need to get a wreath hanger so I can put it on the door.
