Do a Google Image search for “Yarn Wreath” and lots of pretty things will come up; Christmas wreaths, colorful spring wreaths, and everything in between. My friend Nichole is a big fan of yarn wreaths and got me interested. I decided to try my hand and create a yarn wreath with felt flowers for my aunt’s new home for Christmas.
Yarn Wreath with Felt Flowers How-To:
Yarn wreath using felt wrap rosettes and scrabble tiles
Materials:
- 1 foam wreath (I bought mine at
Hell-martWal-mart for $4.50) - 1 skein of yarn (again, Wal-mart, $3.37 and is enough for several wreaths)
- Felt Flowers
- Ribbon
- Glue
- Glue gun and glue sticks (I used 1.5 glue sticks)
- Straight pins
Other goodies:
- Silk flowers
- Scrabble tiles
- Buttons
- Bunting
- Etc.
Directions:
There are lots of directions and tutorials on how to make a yarn wreath, but this is how I managed to create mine.
1. Yarn: Pin end of yarn on your designated backside of the wreath. I applied a thin layer of glue in small sections to the back. I then wrapped the yarn, careful not to overlap or leave gaps. The yarn wrapping was the longest and most annoying part of this project. Find a system that works for you!
2. Ribbon: I then wrapped two pieces of ribbon in opposite directions around the wreath, securing with straight pins and a small dab of hot glue.
3. Item Layout: Gather your flowers, scrabble tiles, and anything else you might want to use. Play around with layout and placement.
4. Item Placement: Hot glue your items onto your wreath. If using felt flowers, use more straight pins to further secure them on.
5. Stand back and admire your work!
