Step 1: Prepare Your Felt Leaves
Start by picking a variety of felt sheets in autumn colours to embrace the new season upon us. Using a Cricut Maker machine, cut out multiple leaf shapes in the same size. However, if you don’t own a Cricut machine, you can use your scissors and a handmade stencil to cut out the leaves by hand.
Tip: Aim for around 30-50 leaves (10 per colour) to cover the entire wreath.
Step 2: Arrange the Leaves
Once you have all of your leaves ready, lay out your metal loop on a table and use a hot glue gun to start gluing your leaves to it. Aim to alternate the colours and cluster the leaves together in layers to create depth and contrast.

Step 3: Finish Attaching the Leaves
To achieve a modern and minimalist look, we covered one half of the gold loop with our colourful felt leaves and left the other half of the loop exposed, making it an asymmetrical design. Additionally, make sure there are no visible gaps or glue spots on your gold loop. Finish off your fall wreath by attaching a ribbon to its top for hanging.
