miniature wool wreath using felted wool sweaters
Today's activity is a miniature wool wreath using felted wool sweaters. If you don't have any felted wool sweaters on hand then try regular felt but you will need more squares to fill the wreath up. I used 53 squares but how many you use will depend heavily on the thickness of the sweaters and how tightly you pack them onto the wreath. I made a little flower for mine using three circles of felt in different sizes and finished with a button in the center. I think they look great with or without a flower but I'll leave that up to you. The finished wreath is about 4 1/2" in diameter.

Step 1take your wire and starting in the center, wrap it around your round object; create a hook like the one pictured above
-
Step 2snip off the long ends of the wire
-
Step 3make a hook with the other end of the wire; first hook should be vertical to be used for hanging later, the second hook should be perpendicular to the first one
-
Step 4open up the hook you just made and begin stringing on wool squares; pierce the center of the square with sharp scissors to make a hole for the wire to go through
-
Step 5string wool squares onto the wire until it is full then hook closed
-
Step 6Optional Step: get creative and make a decoration for your wreath if you would like
Woohoo, look what you did!
