This simple DIY felt wreath added some texture to our all neutral hallway.

In addition to paint in our hallway, some interest was needed on the walls this lead to adding a chalk board that I already had and this DIY felt wreath that I created. It was super easy, the toughest part is cutting out the circles, so i recommend having the television on or having some background music playing to make that part a bit more enjoyable! ;)

Materials Used:

Foam Wreath {11/16″ x 21/2″ x 11 3/4″}

Pins {medium size}

Felt {36″x36″}

Cup or something round {2 1/2″ diameter}

I cut the circles out of the red felt, using a mason jar that was 2 1/2″ wide. I couldn’t tell you how many circles that I cut, but I used the entire piece of felt. To cut multiple felt circles I folded the felt in half and cut along the outside of my first felt circle using it as a template, this helped speed up the circle cutting. Hopefully it works for you too!

Next I folded each felt circle in half and then in half again, pushing through a pin at the folded edge of the felt.

Then I pushed the felt with the pin into my foam wreath. I continued doing this for each circle. It doesn’t matter where you place the felt circles, simply push them in at random, filling in the entire wreath. At first I was placing the felt circles really close together, then quickly realized it would take me a lot more felt circles and a lot more time to finish the wreath so I spaced them out a bit to allow the felt to spread out and fill in the wreath.

Once all the felt circles were placed on the foam wreath I pinned a burlap ribbon to the back of the wreath and then attached the ribbon with the wreath onto my chalkboard in our hallway using a push-pin.
