Homemade for the Holidays: Easy Felt Crafts: Homemade for the Holidays: Easy Felt Crafts

Felt striped wreath
Here's how: Cut strips of different colors of felt in varying, random widths. Our widest strip is about 1 1/4 inches. Mixing colors, wrap strips around a Styrofoam wreath form, each piece overlapping the previous slightly, pinning or gluing to the back of the Styrofoam as you go. Decorate with a felt poinsettia (following our instructions for wall poinsettias) if desired.

When dry, apply fabric glue to the back of the petal, glue onto the flower base in between the points. Repeat four more times for each petal. Use a hole punch to make five small dots and glue them in the center of the flower, over the seam of each folded petal. Once dry, adhere to the wall with removable double-side tape.
