St Patrick's Wreath

I'm at it again, Holiday wreath making again. Its hard to believe Spring is right around the corner. I love that thought.

I used:

 1)  12" styrofoam wreath form from the Dollar Store

2)  1/2 yard fabric

3)  ribbon scraps

4)  two 8 x 11" sheets of cream felt

5)  two 12 x 12" pieces of green patterned paper

6) fabric pinwheels sewn at previous time.

7) hot glue

8) Shamrock  Sizzix Diecut.

1) Cut fabric into 2" strips.

2) Wrap fabric strips evenly around styrofoam wreath form. Hot glue at beginning and end.

3) Make felt flowers following previous tutorial post.

 4) Loop ribbon and glue to the top of the fabric yo- yo.

5) Glue the flower on top of that.

Here is a glimpse of the flower bases and the shamrocks I had to choose from.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope I have  inspired  you to make something with felt flowers this week. Happy crafting, cooking, and whatever else you do.

I was totally inspired by this month's STAMPIN' SUCCESS examples on page 13 for these cards. This was a pefect opportunity for me to hit the scrap bin again. I used multiple green scraps punched with triple heart punch to make the shamrock cuties. Used up some old 1yd spools of ribbon bought at local store. I did not purchase the GOING GREEN individual stamp as used for my inspiration pieces (highly suggest you get this one,it is perfect to use for St. Patricks cards. I used an old (probably 10+ yrs. old) St. Patricks verse from multiple holiday set. I stamped on a 1 3/4 inch circle and mounted on a coordinating green square. Embellished square piece with mini silver brads in 3 corners. Stuck a bling/bead in center of the shamrock to give a finished look. I had some extra hearts punched and some more sahara cs scraps so I chose to make some tags. I love tags...they are so easy and fun to make. Now, I have to decide what I will do with the tags. Any ideas? give me ideas in your comments.
