Good morning,
I’m going to share a home decor creation today. My home is well overdue with a wreath for my front door – I do have a wooden rose wreath from Target hanging right there now, but strangely, it’s only been about 10 months old and I noticed that it’s starting to get mouldy.
So I decided on a yarn wreath – hopefully – one that will not get as grungy quite as quickly.
Here is my yarn wreath. One that anyone, crafty or not, can easily make.
Here is how to make it:
Supplies list
- 14” foam wreath form
- Cream Yarn – left over from my stash (approx. 1 skein worsted weight #4)
- Gold Ribbon – from stash
- Green Wired Edge Ribbon (or a wreath hanger)
- Assorted Flowers – I had some in my stash from Prima, Recollections, Kaiser Craft
- Acrylic Paint (to cover wreath form) – I used Claudine Hellmuth Traditional Tan since that’s what I had on hand; you can use any acrylic paint in a similar color as your yarn.
- General tools and supplies: Fabric scissors, Hot glue gun
Instructions:
1. Paint wreath form with acrylic paint so green doesn’t show throw the yarn.
2. Wrap entire wreath form with yarn. Place a dot of hot glue at the beginning and intermittently throughout the wreath as you wrap round.
*Tip: I go round the wreath form twice to catch any gaps and give it a more cushiony and luxurious look to it.
3. Once the wreath is wrapped with yarn twice, hot glue the end in place. Wrap a gold ribbon around the wreath – hot glue the beginning and the end of the ribbon.
4. Your wreath is ready for embellishing. I attach a variety of matching flowers to the wreath with a hot glue gun.
Tip: You can leave the green Christmas ribbon off so you can use it any other time of the year.
I hope you give an easy project this a try. I think I’m going to try a red burlap one soon.
Have a happy day!
What a gorgeous wreath! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Hugs,
Marie
