Supply List For The Felt Ruffle Wreath

  • Felt – amount varies depending on size of wreath and density of ruffles, but 2 yards is more than enough if you buy the kind that is 70+ inches wide
  • Stick Pins – 250 to 400 depending upon wreath size and density of ruffles
  • Circle Rotary Cutter (This is a game-changer for this project. If you see how long my original wreath took when cutting circles with a template by hand, you’ll understand why!)
  • Straw Wreath Form in your preferred size. I used an 18″ wreath, but you can use anywhere from 12″ wreaths to 24″ wreaths, depending upon the look you’re going for.

How to Make a Felt Ruffle Wreath

Start by using the circle rotary cutter to cut your felt circles. For this particular wreath, I made my circles 2″ wide for this project. I cut approximately 30-50 at a time and then would apply them to the wreath before moving on an cutting more circles.

To affix the felt circles to the wreath, simply fold the felt circle in half, and then in half again. Your piece should essential be a quarter-pie shape. Use a stick pin and push it through the felt, just up from the “pie piece” bottom and then push the felt into the wreath. Repeat this process, overlapping your ruffles so that the straw does not show through. Note that I usually leave the plastic on the wreath, but in this case I did not. It’s just a cleaner process if you leave it intact.

Start to fluff and open your ruffles as you go along. See the images from my white felt ruffle wreath below, as I continued to add additional pieces of felt.

Keep in mind, you don’t have to cover the door wreath with felt on all sides (unless you’re hanging it on a window or somewhere you will actually see the back side). The back of mine was left fairly empty since I knew it would be laying against our front door.

Continue to add felt circles until you are happy with the look and overall coverage of the wreath. It’s simply a matter of preference.

This is a hard color of red to capture in photos (it looks a little bright) but I think it will be darling once December rolls around (and Valentines Day and the Fourth of July, etc.)!
