Holiday Yarn Wreath

I’m getting a jump start on a few little Christmas projects.

To make this yarn wreath, start with at least 3 different colored and textured yarns.  If you’re lucky, you might have some yarn stashed in your craft closet somewhere.   I also bought Styrofoam balls in 3 different sizes.

Start wrapping the yarn around the Styrofoam balls in different directions to simulate an actual yarn ball.  Use a dot of hot glue to seal the end of your yarn in place.

I was on the fence about using hot glue to attach the yarn balls to the wire wreath.  I always believe that nothing can be too secure.  I was thinking of wiring it all together, but after gluing one ball to the wire, I found that it was secure enough to carry on.

I started placing the large balls first and then scattered the other sized yarn balls along with 2 different sized glass Christmas bulbs, trying not to be too symmetrical.  I added a little glittered eucalyptus to finish off some small spaces as finishing touches.

 

 

It’s the perfect color for my kitchen!

Thanks for reading.
