So I am still working on the yarn wrapped letters from my previous post, but I needed to finish my fall wreath before fall is up! Gage takes up much of my time so this has been a work in progress. I have accomplished making all of the felt flowers. The flowers are actually pretty, I am surprised I made them so well. I used a tutorial from another blog to make them, so if you are interested here is the link http://papernstitchblog.com/2011/12/14/diy-felt-flowers-five-ways/ . All my flowers are sewn together and ready to be attached to the wreath. Now all I have to do is finish covering the wreath with brown yard and then accenting it with ribbon. I also felted a cardboard letter "B" for our last name to attach to the wreath. I plan on securely pinning the flowers on my wreath so that I can interchange the flowers for Christmas. I want to make some red roses and holly leaves out of felt to replace some of the yellow and brown flowers with during the Christmas season. Plus with my leftover felt I am going to make some hair pretties for a few of the baby girls at church.

| If you use a hay wreath, leave the wrapping on, this makes it easier to yarn wrap. |

| To make the flowers I rolled them all then pinned them together. Once they were all assembled then I sat down and sewed them together. |
