Daffodil Wreath Tutorial

I made this happy little wreath for my sister.  *Hi Maren, surprise!*  She's long loved daffodils and I've long searched for a great birthday present for her.  Here is where those two things collide.  This is a very rewarding project - it truly is a happy little wreath!

To make this, you need a few things...

felt (green and yellow)
scossors
fabri-tac
12" wreath
pins
needle
green thread

The Daffodil:  I don't have a daffodil stencil for you to print out (sad face).  If you are crafty, just look at mine and you can draw one up yourself!  You need to cut out 2 sets of the petals.  Fan out the petals and sandwich a dab of fabric-tac between the two pieces.  For the "bloom" just place a line of glue on the short edge, form a tube and pin it into place (until glue dries).

The leaves:  I took a strip of felt (about 3" in height), fringed it and rounded the fringed edge.  I then sloppily tacked it together with green embroidery floss. 

The Wreath:  Cut long strips of felt about 1" wide and wrap the wreath.  Glue ends to secure.

Take the leaves and glue them to the wreath.

And finally, arrange your daffodils and glue them on!
