May's wreath features some fabulous felt foxgloves:
This month's project was an interesting design challenge - it was rather tricky translating the shapes of real foxgloves into something simple enough to a) fit on a wreath and b) not impossible to actually make!
After a couple of false starts I was delighted when I finally cracked it* and I'm really pleased with how these flowers have turned out.
The foxgloves do take a little time and patience to put together, but the individual steps are not difficult and I think the result is well worth it.
(Okay so I am a little biased about this but shhh).
*I may or may not have done a very embarrassing happy dance at this point. I couldn't possibly comment.
