Yarn Wreath

Before we ditch autumn to celebrate (my favorite!!) Christmas holiday, I wanted to share with you a simple craft: a Yarn Wreath. This was one that I found on www.pinterest.com and just HAD to try! It was a bit time consuming, but I liked the final product :)


I created my own foam wreath by buying some outdoor pipe insulation from Home Depot (cost about $4 with tax) and that gave me about 4 tubes to work with. I just took one, cut it a little, and duct taped it together. Then, you start the wrapping of string. This took forever in my opinion (you have to physically take the ball of yarn in and out of the wreath to wrap it), but if you just watch a movie or something, time flies by.


Once I wrapped the wreath 2 or 3 times fully around, then it was finally time to decorate. I found a site for making felt flowers, which I will post instructions later if I can find my pictures, and used them to decorate. I also bought a twig that had sequins on it, from Micheal's, for less than a dollar, to add some bling and a play on natural.


All in all, it was an inexpensive craft. Probably less than $10 total for ALL the supplies. It was a little time consuming, but I was very happy with the results.
