Felt Flower Wreath Tutorial: Easy DIY Fall Decor

A felt flower wreath is such a beautiful way to add a handmade touch to your home decor, and today I’m going to show you how to make one using colorful handmade felt flowers and a beautiful natural grapevine wreath. 

The best part? This project takes less than an hour to put together, and you can customize the colors, flower shapes, and arrangement however you like. 

I’m making mine as part of my fall home decor, using warm mustard, red, brown, and cream felt, but you can easily change the colors to make this wreath work for spring, summer, or any season you want.

And to make this project even easier, we’re going to use the free rolled-flower templates I’ve shared here on the blog before.

About This Felt Flower Wreath

I have been wanting to make a colorful felt flower wreath like this for a while, ever since I bought a pack of felt sheets last year. 

Part of my Cricut experimenting has been making super quick projects just to see what this little machine is capable of, and I have been having way too much fun with felt lately.

I’ve already made projects like my Ghost Boo Garland and some cute Christmas ornaments for my girls’ Christmas craft night last year.

So this time, I decided it was finally time to tackle another project that had been sitting on my bucket list: a handmade felt flower wreath using rolled flowers.

In my original post about rolled flower templates, I shared the templates I used for this project, along with ideas for using rolled flowers with felt, paper, EVA foam, and even fabric if you know how to work with it.

For this wreath, the really fun part is choosing your colors and arranging all the different flowers until you get that full, abundant look. You can even cover the entire grapevine wreath if you want, but I love leaving part of it uncovered because it gives the finished design a little more character.

For mine, I used mustard yellow, red, cream, and brown, but you can completely change this wreath’s personality by changing the colors.

Think soft pastels for spring, bright colors for summer, or traditional reds and greens for Christmas.

How to Make a Felt Flower Wreath

Materials

Here is everything you’ll need to make your own felt flower wreath:

And that’s it! You really don’t need much for this project.

Step 1: Make the Rolled Felt Flowers

Start by making your rolled felt flowers using the free templates.

I have a full tutorial showing you exactly how these flowers work and how to make them, so you can check out that tutorial here if you need a little more guidance.

The fun part is that I also provide a Cricut cutting file, so you can let your machine do the cutting and save yourself some time. Or, if you prefer, download the PDF templates and cut the flowers by hand. They are actually pretty easy to cut, so either option works!

It really just depends on how you like to work.

Once you have your flowers and leaves ready, it’s time for the fun part.

Step 2: Arrange the Felt Flowers

Start arranging your felt flowers on the grapevine wreath before gluing anything down.

For this project, I actually made my wreath form using some discarded vines that had been sitting around my garden for a while. And I’m not going to lie to you: making the wreath form itself was not exactly the easiest part of this project.

So if you want to skip that whole adventure, I completely understand. You can easily buy a ready-made grapevine wreath online, and honestly, yours will probably look much prettier than mine!

When arranging your flowers, start with the largest flowers first, placing them around the lower half and sides of the wreath. You can also concentrate most of the flowers toward one side at the bottom if you want a slightly asymmetrical design.

Then start creating little flower clusters. You don’t need to distribute every flower evenly around the wreath. In fact, I think it looks much more natural when the flowers are grouped together.

Just try to spread your colors around so you don’t end up with all the same colors in one spot.

Next, add the medium-sized flowers, followed by the smaller ones to fill in any gaps. Keep adding flowers until you get the fullness you want.

Step 3: Glue Everything in Place

Once you are happy with your arrangement, grab your hot glue gun and start securing the flowers to the wreath.

Keep adding flowers and leaves until your wreath looks nice and full. And remember, you can always make more! One of my favorite things about using a Cricut for this project is that you can cut another batch of flowers in less than a minute if you realize you need a few more.

And that’s it!

This really is such an easy little project, and I hope you have fun playing around with the templates and making your own version.

And if you want even more ideas, remember to check out the original rolled flower templates post, where I share other ways you can use these flowers with different materials and for all kinds of projects.

I’d Love to See Your Wreath!

And if you make your own felt flower wreath using these templates, please show me!

One of my favorite things about creating these projects is knowing that they actually leave my little sewing room and make their way into homes all around the world. So if you make this wreath, I would genuinely love to see it.

You can send me a picture on Facebook, share it in our Facebook Sewing Club, or send me a DM on Instagram or TikTok. Whatever is easiest for you!

Seeing your projects is also a little reminder for me that there are real people on the other side of this screen reading these tutorials, trying the projects, and hopefully having fun making something with their own hands.

So please don’t be shy. I want to see your flowers, your colors, your wreath, and your own little twist on the project!

It makes me incredibly happy to know that these tutorials and templates are inspiring people around the globe to create something of their own.
