Felt Flower Valentines Wreath

With so many felt flower wreaths floating around pinterest and blogland, I figured it was time that I joined in on the felt flower wreath craze! 

 There is just something therapeutic about cutting and working with felt! I love the texture! 

To make my wreath, I started with a grapevine wreath from Joann's for a few bucks, a sparkly heart garland from Homegoods for $3.99 (score!), some valentine ribbon from Joann's for $1, some buttons and pearl beads, and some felt that I had leftover from another project. All in all I think my wreath probably cost just over $10! Not to shabby! ;)

I saw this tutorial for the felt dahlia flowers and I knew that I wanted to try my hand at making them! I am a little in love with how they turned out! hmmm... What else can I put them on?? :)
