Instructions

1. Paint foam wreath green; let dry.

2. Cut twenty 5" squares from fabrics for flowers. Follow webbing manufacturer's instructions to fuse squares together back to back, creating ten double-sided squares. Cut and fuse together two 6" green squares for leaves. Cut patterns as indicated.

3. Use pencil to lightly mark 3/4" circle at center back of each flower. Sew gathering stitch around circle and gently pull up threads to gather slightly; knot and clip threads. This will cause flower petals to lift slightly. Repeat for all flowers.

4. Use glue gun to glue flowers side by side to wreath. Glue leaves to wreath under flowers as shown, alternating fabric sides as desired. Glue flower buttons to flower centers.
