Christmas Poinsettia Wreath

You all know by now how much I love felt flowers. I've had this beautiful Sizzix Thinlits die for a while and have used a few bits of the nine dies included in the set, but not all of them together. Today was just the day to try them out.

These dies are super easy to use and will cut felt through most die cut machines using a thin die plate.

For this project I have used:
1x 100% Merino Wool Felt Sheet in Merlot
1x 100% Merino Wool Felt Sheet in Olive
1x 7" Embroidery Hoop
1x Sizzix Thinlit Dies by David Tutera

And of course my handy hot glue gun!

Cut out the felt as pictured above.
The die also comes with instructions on how many to cut and how to assemble.

Glue the bottom of the petals together and start assembling.
Start with the larger and work inwards in threes until finished.

Roll stamen up and glue into the centre.
Glue leaves to the back and then glue the whole lot onto the hoop.

A gorgeous flower for a fun wee project with lots of opportunity for variation.

Have fun.
