Hello friends in digiland! Steph AKA ScrappyCocoa here. I have taken over the blog for today!! Lucky Julie gets the day off! Today I am going to show you how to make a simple and quick St. Patrick’s day wreath. Here is what we are making-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ok lets get started! You will need a wreath- I found mine at the Dollar Store- some fabric to wrap around the wreath- I love to shop the remnants at JoAnn’s for projects just like this, 3 sheets of green colored felt, scissors, hot glue and gems{also found in the Dollar section at JoAnn’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Next cut a long strip of fabric. Grab your hot glue, dab a piece on the wreath {be generous here, you don’t want your fabric coming\u00a0unraveled} And begin twisting and wrapping your fabric around the wreath, like so-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Continue wrapping until you have covered the whole wreath. This will probably take several strips of fabric. Just remember to use plenty of glue when gluing the end of a strip down. Next grab your felt. Time for flowers! Cut several circles in 3 different sizes. It doesn’t matter if your circles aren’t perfect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I used dark green for my large circles, kelly green for my medium circles and lime green for my small circles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now we are going to burn the edges of the felt. This step could be left out, but I personally like the look of burned edges. Hold your circle with the thumb in the middle. Gently burn the edge with a lighter.\u00a0Careful, not to much, you don’t want to set your circle on fire!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When you are done your circle should look like this-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now it’s time to assemble the flowers. Start with a large flower then a medium and end with a small. You could sew or glue these together. If gluing, just just a tiny dab of hot glue between circles because it soaks easily through the felt. Once put together add a gem or button of some sorts into the center of the flower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And now for the hard part! Ok not really, but I always have trouble deciding how I want to arrange my flowers on my wreath. I think it is the easiest if you prop your wreath up on something to play around. Too bad I cant do it in PS with layers and all that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I decided that my wreath needed more flowers, so I made a few more with just lime green that were just small in size. Glue them on with plenty of \u00a0hot glue. And we have a wreath!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And here is my whole little St Patrick’s day shelf-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I made the subway art, then vases from the dollar store filled with candy and a white plate from the dollar store and vinyl decal from HERE.<\/a> Hope you enjoyed this tut! Go out and make your own St Patrick’s day wreath!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
