Yarn wreaths are my new favorites. I love the endless possibilities. I have seen them all over blog land and Pinterest. My new addiction, but I have not made myself an account yet. I can only imagine all the time I would spend dreaming on there.
With so many fun choices I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do.
I purchased a straw wreath at AC Moore with a 40% off coupon. It cost less than $2. I did not find a yarn I liked so I headed to Joann's.
I purchased this yarn at Joann's. With the 50% coupon it was less than $3. I chose a light green color. The texture of the yarn seemed perfect for a wreath.
There were perfect floral picks on sale. I chose a couple with simple small flowers that I could pluck off. I only used one on this wreath.
I used the whole skein of yarn to make the wreath full and a bit fluffy.
Then I randomly hot glued the floral buds around the wreath.
The spring banner I made with a scrap of fabric I cut into triangles. I used a Sharpie and wrote the letters on them.
It is a perfect addition to our door.
This was thrifty, fun, and super easy. Yarn wreaths can become addicting. I am thinking of what I can make next.

Okay, just realized that my comment makes no sense ... so sorry. It was meant for another blogger.
ReplyDeleteI truly do, though, love your yarn wreath with those pretty flowers. So very springy! I hope you'll hook it up at our link party tomorrow ...

The yarn you choose is so pretty on the wreath. I love the softness of it...and the pennant is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this wreath. I've see a few with the grassy yarn but I think this angel hair yarn is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteThis wouldn't be necessarily easy for me, but if you have any super simple projects or tips you'd like to share I'm hosting a link party today with a few fellow bloggers. I'd be great to see you linked up. :)
