Fabulous Fall Wreath (or any season for that matter)
What you need: 1 Styrofoam wreath from your local craft
store, Yarn, Thick ribbon, Pins or hot glue, felt (or flowers).
1.
1. To wrap your wreath start by looping your yarn
once around the wreath then tying it in a knot. Next, wrap the loop where your
knot is several times so the loop does not slip (unravel) as you continue
wrapping Then simply continue wrapping your yarn around and around. You want to
keep your yarn taut (but not too tight). Wrapping your wreath with different
tensions will effect how it looks, I personally like it taut. This part of your
project usually takes about an hour. Hint: place the wreath between your knees
and wrap. This will enable both hands to be working instead of just one. When
you make it all the way around tie another knot. Once the knot is tied either
pin it to the wreath or glue it in place so that it does not loosen.
2. 2. Place your decoration of choice just to the
right of the bottom of the wreath by using pins or hot glue. I went to Hobby Lobby
and found this fall flower/leaf bunch and simply pinned it on. However, felt
flowers, crows, or pumpkins would also be cute!
3. 3. Using a thick ribbon loop it around the top of
the wreath and tie it in a knot. Then take a separate piece of ribbon and tie a
bow. Hot glue the bow over the knot at the top of the wreath and WALLA! You
have a fabulous fall wreath!
Make it Seasonal!: You could also make a 4th
of July wreath using red, white and blue yarn or a Christmas one use a deep red
yarn and a few Christmas ball ornaments!
