Spring Wreath DIY Instructions:
Preparation: Trace the large and small petal shapes from the printable PDF onto your tracing cloth and cut them out.

From the assorted pastels, cut: (5) pairs of petals of the same size/color for each flower.
From the assorted greens, cut: (2) leaf of the same color for each leaf.
From the tulle, cut: (6) strips, 6" x WOF (15.24cm x WOF) Seam allowances are 1/4" (.64cm).
Assembling the Fabric Flowers
- With right sides together, sew around each petal pair, leaving the straight edge open for turning. Backstitch at the beginning and ending of the seam.
- Trim the seam allowance to 1/8" (.32cm) and turn the petals right side out. Press the edges to shape.
- Sew a gathering thread along the petal straight edges, sewing continuously from one to the other of the five petals. Pull on the bobbin thread to gather up and tie it off as tightly as possible. Tie the ends of the gathering threads together to form the flower shape.
- Take a few stitches by hand using Button & Craft thread across the center flower edges and pull the thread to form a small hole in the center. Stitch a button over the opening, pulling the center edges closer together. Repeat for all the flowers.
