Happy Wednesday! Today's post is a little different than I usually post. I thought that since I have been having lots of fun making wreaths, I would share with you the methods that I have been using to make them for our homes. Since we all know there are many ways to do something right, I would give everyone a chance to learn something new and enjoy the process of learning how to create a wreath.
So, here are a few different styles of wreaths to inspire you.
This first wreath actually took me several months to make, but it was fun learning how to do so. Below is a picture of the stitches I used and the supplies that I used to create it.
I found this tutorial on YouTube for creating a simple wooden wreath for beginners, and it was quick and easy!
I hope everyone enjoyed this post and I will see you next time!

I absolutely love wreaths and have been making them for years. My favorite way to create a wreath with fabric is with a Hot Glue Gun. The same technique used to make flags can be used to make fabric wreaths. A flag is made of thread tied onto a stick as it is folded in half and then left to dry (hence the name "flag").
I take my flag, create some notches along the length of the flag and hot glue it onto my stick. I then add some cotton string to it so that the notches can be seen through only one side of the fabric. Then I wrap the fabric around the stick and create a bow with my hot glue gun. The following recipe is for a wreath about 14 inches in diameter.
For fabric:
- 1/2 yard flannel
About 22 inches of flannel will be needed for each wreath so you will need to cut three strips and sew back together with this length. For some, a longer strip can be used.
Conclusion:
This is a hot glue gun recipe for making fabric wreaths that is perfect for beginners and very simple to do. The basic idea behind the wreath is that you are folding the fabric once and hot gluing it onto the stick. This may seem like a lot of hot gluing, but this method takes less time than other methods. The amount of time will depend on you and your skill level, which can be frustrating because the more you practice this technique, the better you will become at it.- Derek Jones I've been thinking about what kind of posts I wanted to do over on my blog lately...
