I’ve been wanting to make a new Christmas wreath for years and I finally got the supplies together and make this one. I’m SO happy with how it turned out.

Make a Fabric Christmas Wreath

Gather your supplies –

Foam wreath and balls {various sizes} you need around 50 for a 14″ wreath
fleece fabric {fabric with a bit of stretch works best.
Chunky yarn
Berries or other beads

I found that fabric without stretch did not work for wrapping the foam balls. I have the red velvet in this photo, but I ended up not using it as it didn’t wrap well. For the large foam balls I used about a 1″ strip of fabric, and then about 1/2″ strips for the smaller ones.

Wrap the foam balls with fabric or yarn. I secured the end of the fabric with a glue gun and then wrapped the ball until all the foam was covered. Then I put a dot of glue to secure the other end as well.

The yarn was much more difficult to wrap. I used glue to hold the end, then I put a strip of glue in a few placed on the ball and wrapped the yarn over the glue. Once I got the yarn secured in a couple of places it was easy to wrap the layers on top of that yarn. I love the chunky red yarn.

You will need a different amount of balls depending on the wreath size. I made around 50 covered foam balls for my 14″ wreath base.

Start my adding the larger sizes on the middle of the wreath top. I filled in the edges with the two smaller sizes. I used my glue gun to secure the balls to the wreath AND to each other. I held them in place for a few minutes while the glue was drying. After I figured out what I wanted to do I put all the larger sizes on first around the whole wreath, then I filled in the sides with the smaller balls.
