Tutorial Tuesday: Christmas Wreath

Something to create now so it will be ready in time for Christmas decorating is this easy to do yarn wreath!

Need:

• Styrofoam round wreath (or any shape you like)
• Yarn in your color choice ( I chose this fluffy red yarn I liked)
• Scrapbook paper to coordinate with your wreath (for the letters)
• Mini Clothes Pins
• Twine
• Felt (optional)

Directions:

1. Take your yarn and tie a knot around your styrofoam, and then start wrapping and winding, wrapping and winding. Yup, it takes a little patience to get around the wreath. Nothing you can’t do while watching “Grey’s Anatomy” 🙂

2.  Tie off when you get all the way around the wreath.

3.  Measure approximate length of twine, cut, and tie the ends around your wreath.

4.  I used my Silhouette Machine to cut out the letters, but you can always just print them out in a word program, trace them onto some scrapbook paper and cut them out!

5.  Take your mini clothes pins and use them to hold up your letters!

6.  I then added some felt flowers based on this tutorial but not sure what I’m liking….what’s your opinion?

Hang it on up and enjoy!
