christmas craft #2

this craft was quiet and calm.
when the kids were at school i cut the felt into small squares....about 1 square inch.
i just bought the rainbow of colors and a few extra of red and green.
using a rotary cutter would have been easier....but mine is BURIED under fabric and christmas.

the sheets of felt were 4 for $1.00.
so this craft is really cheap!


i strung large needles (18 Darners is what the package says....) with DMC floss.
i tied a knot at one end.
then we strung the thread with felt squares.




annie kept pulling her string off the needle so this was our solution.
i held the needle and she filled it up.
team work!


talby made several.


when they are about this size we stopped.
when you could bend it into a good sized circle....

then i tied the two ends together....and hot glued it too....

we added ribbon and voila!
a tiny christmas wreath!


or a rainbow wreath.....


or a KU wreath...




if i would change anything about this craft i would make the squares a little smaller.
i did try using wire but it was hard to get through the felt and the needle was not.

they would be really cute in all green and adding red beads or jingle bells too!
