Fall Felt Leaf Wreath

by

Well, hello there.
Can we discuss my favorite of all favorites?
The best season of all?
The season where the air is crisp, the colors are warm, and the sun glistens like gold everywhere you look?
Oh yes, indeed Fall is almost here.
I thought I would kick off the season with a fun wreath full of the glorious colors of Fall.
I honestly can say, I am always so inspired when Fall comes around.
 My adjectives become bigger in the Fall.  Everything becomes glorious, glistening, or glowing.
My food consumption for Fall turns into everything pumpkin, pumpkin & more pumpkin.
My clothing typically can reflect the hues of turning leaves paired with a stripe.
(Remember I came out of the womb loving stripes.)
My car naturally turns into every flower market and/or pumpkin stand in a 50 mile radius.
I’ve even trained my husband to now think this way.  God love him.
So as always, I turned to my favorite felt fabric & made the leaves from this die by Accuquilt.  Or you can use these templates to cut by hand.  I hand stitched the vines on each leaf, which was the most time consuming part, & wrapped yarn around a wreath form while I was watching TV the other night.  I pinned the leaves to the yarn wrapped wreath & presto my first inaugural Fall craft of 2012 was done.  😉

I was dying to see how it looked on our yellow front door!  I love all the colors together.  I have a few more plans for our porch this Fall, but that will have to wait for another post.   So how about you, have you started any Fall projects?

  1. Woo Hoo! Bring on the fall!! Love the colour mix- the turquoise really modernizes it! Did you hand-cut those leaves or use a Cricut or something? By the way, the hard work you put into stitching the veins was well worth it! Love the detail it adds!

  2. I love fall too! Here in Wisconsin fall is short lived, which is a tad bothersome. Your wreath is gorgeous! Did you use a stencil, a Silhouette to cut your leafs? Tell us more about this felt. It looks divine. When I make a wreath I always put the stuff on the right (when you are looking at it). I never think to put it on the left. I think I am going to have to start switching things up 🙂

  8. Yay for FALL!!!! I love your wreath-so cute!!! I am actually doing a Fall Festival Craft Show, so I’ve been working on fabric pumpkins among other seasonal crafts. I cannot wait to put out my own Fall decor!!! Soon, soon, soon!!!

  15. I don’t follow blogs consistently but I have read yours from time to time over the past few years. Today i was brainstorming what fall crafts I wanted to start this weekend and I knew I needed to pull up your blog because you have the BEST fall crafts and decor!! I love this wreath and will copying it tomorrow!

  16. Oh!! I love it so much! I’m definitely pinning this to Pinterest and gonna try to make my own. Fall is my favorite time of the year as well, and I love seeing all the wonderful ideas out there! Thanks for sharing!

  18. So cute! The stitching you added to the leaves is absolutely adorable and perfect as your inaugural fall craft! I’m your newest follower: come visit me at Everyday with the Jays!

  26. Ooooh! Love this!! This may just be my Sunday afternoon craft while the husband is busy with his football 🙂

    And the thought of making this with felt SNOWFLAKES in a winter motif? It’s making my heart itch for snowfall!!
