Make Dollhouse Wreaths Using Felt Squares

       To make these simple, versatile door wreaths you will need: a chenille stem, sharp scissors and felt sheets in any three colors you prefer. I have chosen purple, green and gold for a Mardi Gras Wreath and black, orange and white for a Halloween wreath version. For each of these wreaths I used three standard felt sheets each in the traditional colors of holidays. 

       Cut one inch strips for each felt sheet and then cut these into one inch squares. The measurements may be approximate; if the felt clippings are off a bit it will not affect the attractiveness of the wreath.

       In the center of each 1'' x1'' square poke a tiny hole with the tip of your scissors to insert the chenille stem. Alternate the colors and string them onto the stem until the wreath is satisfactorily dense. Bend the stem into a ring shape and then bend the ends of the wire around each other to prevent the felt squares from working their way off of the wreath. Reshape the wreath as you prefer and attach a wire or ribbon to hang it from your dollhouse front door.
