DIY White fabric ( felt ) winter wreath
We love this felt winter wreath not only because of its soft fluffiness, because it was really easy to make. No fancy sewing, pinning, tucking, hot gluing, chain sawing or other dangerous activities needed.

Of course to create a similar fluffy winter wreath you can experiment with other fabrics and even with paper as well!
