Valentine's Day Felt Wreath

Of course I found this super duper cute idea on Pinterest!  I really don't have too much Valentine's Day decorations, it seems i go right from Halloween to Christmas (which also includes winter stuff) than to nothing really.  So I'm looking for more Valentine's decorations and came across this super cute DIY idea


So I went to Joann Fabrics this week and got a foam heart, 3/4 yard of red felt off the bolt and straight pins.  The foam heart was in the floral section and was 4.99 but I had a 50% coupon so it was only 2.50! The 3/4 yrd of felt was 3.50 (this was not on sale, the yd price was 4.99) and a pack of straight pins which were 3.29.  So this DIY project cost about $10.

Once it was all laid out I drew 3" circles using my frisk circle and cut a ton of circles, 172 to be exact!!  I cut all of the felt.


Next I took the circles and folded them in half and than half again. 
Folded in 1/2 once

Folded in 1/2 again- Side View

Folded in 1/2 top view

Than I took a pin and pinned the folded circle from the bottom corner onto the foam heart.  Just keep doing this, making sure to fill in all holes with circles. i did not pin any on the back so that it would lay flat on the wall.



I actually ended up with 54 leftover circles, so if you buy a 1/2 yard of felt you will have enough.  I still just need to buy a white ribbon to pin on the back to hang though, but I'm really really happy with how it turned out!
