This month the MFT Design Team was challenged to create wreaths. Wreaths have been so popular lately, I've seen them popping up everywhere on crafting sites. I was really excited to make one for myself.
I decided to create my own wreath using some thick cardboard I had in the house. I traced around a couple of plates to create the circles. I then used an hobby knife to cut the cardboard. The circles looked pretty rough when I finished, but I knew I would be covering them with ribbon so I didn't worry about it.
I used some Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon from SU to cover the wreath. I wound the ribbon fairly tightly and I secured it at both ends with a glue gun. Once that was done, the fun began!
I used two colors of MFT felt, Bubblegum and English Rose to create the roses. For the three largest roses I used the Large Rolled Rose Die-namics die. I cut each rose out in the Bubblegum and the English Rose felt. I layed one cut out on top of the other and I rolled the flower like usual. I really love the effect of the two colors of felt together. I glued all the flowers to the wreath using a glue gun.
For the other roses I just used one color of felt. I used the Rolled Rose Die-namics die and the Mini Rolled Rose Die-namics die.
I used the new Royal Leaves Die-namics die to create the leaves. This is my favorite Leaf Die-namics die! I used Sour Apple and Jellybean Green felt for the leaves.
Be sure to check out Kim's Blog to see what the rest of the MFT Design Team created for this challenge. I know there are going to be lots of amazing creations!
