Pinwheel Spring Wreath

I have been a bad blogger this week.......

Between Valentine's Day, my daughter's birthday, orders in my Etsy shop, being our GS troop's cookie mom and oh, working full-time there has been no crafty going on around here.  Thanks to dinner out tonight I did manage to find some time to make something.

Valentine's is over and I am ready for Spring.  I think this reflects that!


I had everything on hand but even with original cost it was only about $3.00 to make.  I had lucked up before Christmas and came upon the green straw covered wreaths for $1.  Used 5 different colors of felt and only needed one sheet of each. We all know about the button stash I have going on......

I cut the felt into 4" x 4" squares.  Then I cut them like this:


Hot glued them:



Added a button and let them dry.

I decided to pin them on that way I could use both the wreath and the pinwheels later.


Rotated them around:



I used a total of 20 pinwheels and it only took me about an hour from start to finish.

Here is a close up:



I am going to try really hard to wait until March 1st to hang it up!

Check out all of the places I party here!

  6. This is lovely! Great spring colour choices. Will it stand up to the weather? I had thought of doing something like this out of paper but it could be wrecked in the rain. Would the felt survive?? Hmm...

    1. Bronwyn,

      Hi!! Just realized I have the reply function now! I didn't think about that because I have a glass storm door that will protect it but I would think if you have enough of an overhang it should hold up.

      Thanks for stopping by!
