Yarn Wreath

What You Need:
1. Straw Wreath
2. Yarn
3. Felt or silk flowers would also work - You could use anything to your hearts desire
4. Ribbon, Material strips, Lace - anything to hang the wreath with

This was my first attempt at making a yarn wreath. Some of the things on this are upcycled and you could do the whole thing as an upcycle project. I had to purchase some of the items. The wreath is a straw wreath that I had from other projects I have attempted and never finished. For the flowers I used felt, I have a ton of this - stacks of it like construction paper. You never know when the kids need a craft or school project. I purchased the yarn and the felt letters.

You can use glue, but I just started wrapping tucking the end in as I went. It takes awhile and my arms did cramp. But I found my rhythm and an extra set of hands helps definitely. I didn't try to make the yarn line up straight, I just went for it and I like the way it looked in the end.

I used yarn from Walmart in mustard yellow. I just love this color and I really like the way it looks with Red and Pink. It really makes the color pop.

To make the flowers you can use any material. You just need to cut a circle and at any point start cutting it around and around into one strip with a small circle left at the end to glue. Starting at the end without the circle start wrapping it around as tight or as loose as you want. Secure it with glue on the circle.

Using ribbon you could wrap it all the way around or like I did. You could also use a smaller width and wrap it around for contrasting color with the yellow. Let you imagination run wild. This is one of those projects you could do anything. Happy Crafting!!
