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.
I 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.
I absolutely LOVE this wreath. I've see a few with the grassy yarn but I think this angel hair yarn is perfect!!
This 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. :)
