Lily Wreath

Lily Wreath

This is my daughter's birthday present.

She wanted a wreath for her living room.

These are the colors she chose.

The yarn is Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick Yarn. The color of the yarn is 124 Barley. I wrapped the yarn around a 14" Floracraft Styrofoam Extruded Wreath with  UPC white.

I cut the Lily flowers out with Crafter's Companion - Sheena Perfect Partners metal die - Victorian Floral Lily.  I used wool felt for the flowers.

I embellished the center of the Lilies with Jolee's Boutique - Pearl and Gem Clusters.

Cutting Felt With The Cricut Mini

I got a cricut mini. I wanted it for cutting felt. This is how I prepared and cut regular craft felt to cut using my Cricut mini. Different felts require different preparations. These instructions are for Craft Felts (high-quality polyester fiber) I found this felt at Walmart.
Cut Settings I used
Speed - 2
Multi-Cut 4
Pressure - High

*Note to myself: I am going to try multi-cutting 2 times. Then not remove my mat.
Clean off the blade. Then do another multi-cut 2 times to see if it cuts cleaner.
