diy yarn wreath

Pin It

 

i haven't blogged in a whole week and i feel like it's been forever! the sickness invaded our house and left us with bronchitis and head colds and you name it.  thank god for doctors and mommies and naptime!  anyway, i can't take credit for this project.  a couple weeks ago when i was dressing up my monogram that went in our bedroom, my friend christina was here and she had seen a yarn wreath that she really liked.  she picked out the colors for her house and to suit her taste, but of course you could always change that up. :)  i think i may do one for my back door with a natural twine or something like that. 

 

so first get your wreath form.  you can use a styrofoam form, a straw form, or a pool noodle.  noodles are hard to find this time of year, but always the cheap option!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tie your yarn around and just start wrapping.  if you use multiple colors, decide how wide you want the sections and when you reach that point, tie the yarn tight to secure it and cut.  we tried hot glue and it works, but it's messier and harder to hide. 

 

how cute is that?! we made some rosettes for it and glued those on.  to make rosettes, cut your felt in squares about the size of the palm of your hand.  start on one corner and cut the square into a spiral.  then when you roll it, it will turn into a cute little rosette! 

 

 

here are a few pictures of my friend christina and me.  she is such an amazing person and i'm so blessed to have her in my life!

 

 

 

 

hope you all have had a fabulous veteran's day!  thank you to all the current and former service men and women who give us our freedom, and god bless america!
