While we were there, we became obsessed with yarn wreaths that we first found on etsy. Search for 'yarn wreaths' on etsy.com and you'll see what I mean. I've also seen others that have made them on various blogs I follow.
Kyle went out of town this past weekend for work, a prime opportunity for me to spend some time on various projects. So, I decided to attempt making my own yarn wreath.
I wanted something that had a winter-ish look but wasn't for Christmas. Here is what I came up with:
Here's a close up:
I'm pretty satisfied with my first try. I love how the yarn reminds me of a winter tree branch. I found a great and super easy tutorial here about how to make the felt flowers. Just a heads up: wrapping the yarn around the wreath form is VERY labor intensive and I would NOT suggest using an 18 inch wreath form like I did. Larger wreath form = more time spent wrapping yarn. However, the best part of all, total cost was $9. (They sell on etsy for $35+)
I would say my crafty weekend was successful!
I too love the yarn wreaths on Etsy- good call. Turned out great!
