You’ll need…

14″ foam wreath frame or larger
10-12 sheets of sand colored wool felt
Stick pins
Scissors
2.5 inch dog bones print ribbon

1.5 inch burlap ribbon
Twist ties
Hot glue gun and sticks (optional)
Jute twine

Step 1

Start by cutting a bunch of felt leaves. To help ensure leaves are all about the same size, fold one felt sheet in half (widthwise) and cut along the fold. Next, cut the two halves down the middle, so you end up with four long strips of felt that are about 3 inches wide. Then cut leaf shapes out of the strips of felt – about 1.5 – 2 inches wide. One end of the leaf should have a pointed tip and the other end should be flat.

Step 2

Wrap the flat end of the leaf around itself and pin the curled edge to the wreath form. Continue pinning leaves until the entire wreath is filled.

Step 3

Let’s make a pretty mix & match bow! Take the 2.5 inch printed ribbon and make a medium-size bow without a center loop. Use a twist tie to secure the ribbon together. With the burlap ribbon, make a simple small bow without a center loop and tie it together with a twist tie. Attach the small bow to the top of the larger bow with a twist tie or hot glue.

To finish, cut a 6 inch piece of the printed ribbon, twist the ends together to make a poof, and glue or tie this poofy loop to the top of the bow. Glue the bow to the top of the wreath.

Step 4

Finally, cut a small piece of jute twine, knot the ends and pin (or glue) them to the back of the wreath to make a hanger.

This pawfect seasonal wreath is such an easy way to add a festive touch to your front door this fall and is super easy to change out throughout the year.
