It’s no secret that I love greenery! I decorate with it all over my house. During the Christmas season, I love the look of mixed greenery. Both faux and fresh can be used to create a cozy vibe in your home.

I’ve seen so many gorgeous felt wreaths and I just love how they look. So, I decided to design my own version for Christmas!

I used a muted olive green felt to give the wreath the cozy Christmas feeling. I think it’s perfect for just about any style of home decor.

Cricut Machine Requirement

For this project, you will need to have the Cricut Maker machine. The Cricut Maker comes with a rotary blade that is designed to cut fabric and felt.

I just got this machine and I love it! I feel like I can create so many more things now that I can cut fabrics. This project was the first “fabric” project that I made and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

The rotary blade is designed to be used with the fabric grip cutting mat. This mat is the pink one and is made for fabrics.

If you buy a Cricut Maker, you will get the rotary blade and a fabric grip cutting mat in the box. The best part is, you don’t need any backing for the Cricut Maker to cut fabrics. It just cuts out the pieces perfectly using the rotary blade!

Make It

Now it’s time to make your project!

Click on the Make It button in the upper right of the screen.

The first screen you will see is the Mat Preview Screen. This will show you all of the different mats needed for your project. Each mat represents another piece of material.

For this project, there is only 1 mat with the leaves design. To get enough leaves to cover your entire 12” wreath form, you will need 10 sheets of olive felt. So, you will need to cut out this design 10 times.

Click on the Continue button in the lower right of the screen.

Connect your Cricut machine. Then, adjust the settings as follows.

Material: Felt

Pressure: Default

Tools: Rotary Blade

Click on Edit Tools to adjust which tools you are using.

Load the fabric grip cutting mat with your first material into the machine. Then, press the flashing Go button to begin the cutting process.

Load each new piece of felt and press the flashing Go button to duplicate the cut until all of your leaves are cut out.

Cricut Tip: Use the Cricut Brayer tool to get fabric and felt to stick to the fabric grip cutting mat in the best way. I love this tool because it really helps me to smooth down any material onto the cutting mats.

How to Assemble The Project

Once all of your pieces are cut out, it’s time to assemble the project.

To give the wreath a three-dimensional look, you will need to shape each of the leaves. Take a leaf and place a small circle of hot glue in the bottom section (the part that’s wider).

Then, pinch the two sides of the leaf together to create a fold. This gives the leaves a more realistic, 3D look.

Repeat this process until all of your leaves have been shaped. This is not hard, but it does take some time. It’s the perfect activity to do while watching a movie!

After your leaves are ready, it’s time to prepare your wreath form. I decided to use a 12” foam wreath form. You could definitely use a larger wreath, but remember you will need to cut out more leaves to cover it.

Take some green ribbon and hot glue one end to the wreath form. Wrap the wreath form with the ribbon until it’s completely covered. This will hide the foam and give it a more finished look.

When you get all the way around the wreath, cut the ribbon and attach it to the wreath base using hot glue.

Now it’s time to add the leaves to your wreath. Decide on a direction that you want to the leaves to go in a stick with it. This will give your wreath the best look.

Take a leaf and place some hot glue into the base section on the back of the leaf. Then, attach the leaf to the ribbon on the wreath form. Keep attaching leaves to give the wreath a full look.

There was no real pattern to how I attached the leaves. I just tried to cover up the wreath base and to not make the leaves look too uniform. That way they looked more natural. Here are a few pictures of the “in-process” leaf attaching so you can see how I placed the leaves.

Once I covered the entire wreath, I still had a few leaves leftover.

So, I flipped the wreath upside down and glued the leaves to the inside section of the wreath form.

This really filled out the middle section of my wreath. You can use extra leaves however you want to add more fullness to your wreath.

After all of the leaves are attached your wreath is complete!

This is one of my favorite projects from this whole series! I’m so happy with how it turned out. Now I want to make so many more felt wreaths for all the seasons.

To give this wreath an extra Christmas touch, you could add a big red bow to the front, or any other Christmas decorations.

      No problem! Each leaf is approx. 3.25″ tall and 1.75″ wide.
