How to Make a No Sew Felt Wreath for Independence Day:

Start by gathering all of your supplies and remove the label from the embroidery hoop. Organize all the felt colors and use shades and patterns with red, white, and blue.

Next cut your felt sheets into strips around 8-9 inches long. If you are sorting through felt scraps, look for pieces that are long enough.

Strips about 1 inch wide are good, but you can also cut strips with width larger and smaller too.

For the 10 inch hoop you will need approximately 100 felt strips. If you use a bigger or smaller hoop, you’ll need to adjust the number of strips used.

Then begin tying the felt strips around the embroidery hoop using double knots. Add strips in a red, white, and blue pattern or at random.

This wreath would also be fun to do in a color blocked or flag order. You could also add a few ribbon strips throughout if you wanted.

Continue tying strips of felt, working around the entire hoop, pushing the strips together to get as many tied on as possible. The more felt strips tied onto the hoop the fluffier your wreath will be.
