Step 1: Take the edge of a felt fabric sheet and fold it over, creating a crease.

Step 2: Cut a straight line where the two piece met when folded over.

Step 3: Once cut, fold the felt fabric sheet how you had it. There will be a straight edge side and a fold side. Glue together the straight edge side.

Step 4: Cut small slits all the way up along the folded side (the side you did not add glue on). Do not cut all the way down.

Step 5: Roll the felt.

Step 6: Add a dab of glue to the end of the felt to keep your flower from unraveling.

Step 7: Cut a circle out of a felt fabric sheet. Note: The size of your circle will determine how large your flower will be.

Step 8: Start at the edge of the circle and cut a spiral all the way to the middle, leaving a small circle at the end. This will be the base of your flower.

Step 9: Starting at the base of your flower, wrap the felt fabric sheet in a circle until you get to the end. Be sure to glue along the way to keep your flower together.

Step 10: Glue a jewel, rhinestone or button to the base of the flower for added sparkle.

Step 11: Now for the fun part! Assemble your fall wreath by gluing your flowers in place.

Voila! For some extra flare, add felt leaves or a bow to your wreath before hanging it up.
