Easter Felted Wreath

Needle felting is something I play with from time to time.  Grace and I bought wreath rings at a garden centre.

I started by covering the wire ring in the plain wool Grace had given to me.

It took some covering, but eventually it kind of looked like a circle.  I liked the idea of the bottom being slightly larger as I knew I was going to cover it with other felted items.

First I covered it half with green and half with blue.  It was supposed to be a Christmas wreath but the craft and chatters said it was too light for Christmas, so it became an Easter project.

Over several months I made, Easter eggs, a blue tit, a bee, a butterfly, a mushroom, a snail, a ladybird and lots of flowers.  They were needle felted apart from some of the flowers which were cut out of felt.

I sewed all the items loosely to the wreath, for easy dis-assembly.

It certainly brightened my front window.

Little children seemed to like it.
