Fun Pinterest Inspiration - Chevron Wreaths

I found this super cute wreath on Pinterest a few weeks ago and loved the idea.



Once I found a pool noodle (not so easy in October!), it was a pretty quick project.  I made a cardboard template for cutting the chevron pieces.


I didn't care for the burlap flowers, so I made felt fringe flowers by folding a strip of felt in half lengthwise, making small cuts every 1/4 inch.  Then you roll it up, glue it and stick it on the wreath.
