St. Patty's Day Felt Clover Wreath

Okay...so I wasn't originally going to make anything for St. Patty's Day to hang on the front door, I was going to skip right to the spring wreath.  Then while trying to decide on what I should have my spring wreath look like, I just decided to be frugal and throw something together that was {FREE} and would serve the purpose for the next month until I gather my thoughts and come up with a spring wreath I want to make.  So I pulled out my trusty felt {FREE}, and some cardboard {FREE, luckily I got a package today while I was hunting all over the house for some cardboard to use...can you say perfect timing!}  I saw this cute little number the other day and posted it on my post a couple days ago...

So I decided to go ahead and do this for the front door since it was all stuff I had, or could work with and get it done today.  Here's what I did...

Supplies:

* Cardboard

* Glue Gun

* Felt

* Box Cutter or cutting tool

* Scissors

Start by making a heart on your cardboard {you'll need 3 hearts total, so cut the first one and use it as a stencil for the other 2 hearts so they are all the same.}  I cut the centers out of each heart too.  Then cut a stem out of cardboard.  Then glue all 3 hearts to the stem.

Now sit down, grab your scissors and felt...and get cutting.  If your so lucky to have a cutter that allows you to cut circle felt pieces I envy you!  If your not that lucky start cutting circles.  Lot's of circles.  My circles were about 2" in diameter.  You can make your wreath as big as you want it, so I don't know how many circles to tell you to cut.  You may just have to cut a bunch, glue, and see as you go.

Once you've got the circles cut, put a dot of glue in the center of a felt circle.  Then fold it in half.  Now put another dot of glue in the center of the half moon shape and fold in half again.  It should look like the pictures below.

Then start gluing these little pieces to your cardboard.  I started on the outside edge and went around each section.  Then filled in all the empty space.  You continue this until all 3 hearts are full.  I just covered the stem in flat felt, you can do whatever you'd like.  

This is the perfect {FREE}, cute addition to the front door until St. Patty's Day.  Can I just say...that I LOVE felt!  What on earth would we do without it, it's amazing for quick inexpensive projects.
