Project 12: Wrapped Yarn Fall Wreath (DIY for Busy Gals)


3 hour project
(2 hours of it making a yarn ball, 45 minutes wrapping a wreath)

You'll need:

Wreath form (I used a hay one)
Yarn (I used two fluffy rolls/skiens?)
Silk/faux/dried fall flowers
glue gun
P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E

You are going to create this:

For the readers:
1. Gather your wreaths (these were all the forms I got at a yardsale for $5)
2. Grab your yarn (mine was on clearance at the Salvation Army)
3. Grab your fall picks and florals
4. Take 2 hours (non-knitters) to wrap your yarn into a ball.
Trust me, wrapping your wreath is far less frustrating this way.
5. Use the ball of yarn to wrap, over and over and over and over and over and over
 and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
 and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
 and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
 and over and over and over and over and over and over

You get the point.
6. Halfway there. Fingers are cramped at this point.
7. So cramped that I just threw some stuff together for the floral arrangement
8. Farther out shot of your prowess
9. Perched up on the mantel, call it done.

Variation 1 is on the books.
Such a cozy little wreath.
She can withstand temps down to -47 degrees celsius.
No, I have not tested that.
