DIY Felt Leaf Wreath Step by Step

For this DIY felt leaf wreath tutorial, you will need colorful sheets of felt, a sharp pair of scissors, a wreath form, and a hot glue gun.

Once you have selected your felt colors, it is time to cut the leaf shapes. I have a full post with tips on how to cut felt easily for beginners. To keep all of your leaves the same size, try creating a cutting template from an old egg carton or cardboard

Apply a small dot of hot glue to the bottom of your felt leaf. Pinch the felt around the hot glue to create dimension and shape the leaf. I like using hot glue as it dries instantly, but I understand that it is not everyones favorite. I have a few favorite felt glues that would also work here, but you would need to wait for the glue to dry before proceeding.

Apply a dot of hot glue onto the wreath shape. Press down the leaf onto the hot glue. Repeat these two steps until you have covered the DIY Felt Wreath shape entirely. You can adhere the leaves in a color pattern or just distribute them randomly in a color pleasing way.

Ta da! That’s our finished DIY felt leaf wreath, all pretty hanging on the front door! It is so colorful and pretty and I love how it turned out!

Have you ever walk through Target looking at home decor things and thinking “I could totally make that!”? This is one of those projects that actually came to life easily with craft supplies I mostly had at home! I did have to make a trip for the wreath form- but everything else is from my craft stash 🙂

DIY Felt Leaf Wreath Tips:

• Use a sturdy piece of cardboard to create your leaf template. I reused an egg carton to create mine and it made this DIY Felt Wreath so much easier. Check out more of my recycled craft ideas.
• Make two or three leaf templates at the beginning. You might lose your template in all that pile of felt cut-outs 🙂
• To speed up the felt cutting, I like to cut two or three layers of felt at once! Use a sharp pair of scissors that will make it easier on your wrist.
• If you are not a big fan of hot glue, try using a strong adhesive to make this DIY Felt Wreath instead. Read more in this post Best glues to adhere Felt
