Lately I have been seeing these super cute "yarn wreaths" in the local stores around neighborhood but unfortunately they cost an arm and a leg...
After careful inspection I came to the conclusion that they didn't look too difficult to create and I had a hankering for some serious craft time.
So I went to the nearest craft store and put my thinking cap on and bought the supplies I thought would be necessary.
I thought I would start out with the basics and bought a straw wreath and some cheap yarn in a neutral color and got crackin'
Step 1: First, take your wreath (with the plastic still on, believe me, you'll thank me later) and tie one end of the yarn around the wreath. Once you've done that start wrapping the yarn around the wreath. (It's going to take a while so I suggest you multi-task and maybe watch a movie at the same time)
Step 2: Once you've finished covering your wreath (2 or 3 movies later.) It's time to start decorating!
Instead of making felt flowers like the examples I had seen in the store I thought I would try silk flowers from the craft store (in the scrapbook section.) I think they look just as good and it saves a TON of time!
I also added some peacock feathers and sequins to spice it up a bit!
Step 3: I took decorative trim and wrapped it around the wreath like I had done with the yarn and then took tacky glue and arranged the flowers and feathers until I had the perfect fit and glued them down.
Voila! My very own wreath:
I am pretty pleased with how it turned out and I can't wait to display it proudly on my front door!
Happy Crafting!
