Wreath Wed: Felt Flowers

In searching for wreaths to make, I found a lovely one on etsy. They had sprayed a grapevine wreath grey and added felt flowers. I had a grapevine wreath in my stash, as you do, and decided I surely had enough felt, wool, and old sweaters to be able to put something together, all I had to buy was the spray paint.
I made the flowers based on directions from betz white (link when I'm back on my computer) (loopy flower, rosette (instructions for paper, work for fabric). I had a little vision for the blue buds. The big takeaway from making those is, if you are using acrylic felt use hot glue and not tacky glue. (Tacky works fine on 100% wool and mostly wool.)

I know it's not the spring or summer wreath I needed but I adore it!
