Did you guys get a chance to check out my guest post yesterday on Michaela Noelle?
I shared my favorite Christmas project from this year- a yarn wreath. I'd seen different
takes on the yarn wreath out in blog-land this year, but I have to say that the tutorial and wreath
that Joi did was definitely the one that inspired me to get cracking on this project!
takes on the yarn wreath out in blog-land this year, but I have to say that the tutorial and wreath
that Joi did was definitely the one that inspired me to get cracking on this project!
Here's the lowdown.
Supplies:
-a couple balls of yarn
-felt squares
-straw wreath
-push pins
-fresh pine trimmings
When you get started, leave the straw wreath in its plastic wrapper.
This makes things a bit neater as you wrap the yarn around.
And yes, you do see a glass of white in the background!
That's always a necessity when it comes to me and crafts :)
Next up? Wrap the yarn around the wreath!
It's a little time consuming, but definitely easy. Here's my almost-finished product.
Then, I simply cut some large circles out of felt squares in a spiral shape.
I folded each spiral into a flower shape and pinned each onto the wreath with a tack.
I then stuck in a few branches of fresh tree trimmings and, voila!
You've got a Christmas yarn wreath.
I put the wreath in our kitchen on a door that goes into our sunroom.
It's the perfect thing to spruce up the area in a cozy, Christmas way!!
So there you have it! The fun thing is this wreath could be made not only as
a Christmas wreath, but a fall wreath or even a winter wreath!
In fact, I may just pull out the fresh pine and throw in some blue colors and
call it my January wreath!! : )
Four more days till Santa!! Are we ready??

I think changing out the color of the flowers is a great way to keep the wreath up longer! Yours looks gorgeous. I bought all the supplies a while back, but billable hours keep getting in my way of doing it! And I'm with you -- wine + crafts = the only way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love this, so pretty! I might make one during my time off next week and save it for next year. :) I received my state print in the mail from the giveaway that I won, thank you again!
