Yarn Fall Wreath

Halloween is over. Christmas is plastered all over the stores. Now I LOVE Christmas, but I am trying not to skip right over Thanksgiving. It is another wonderful holiday, and I think it deserves a little time in the spotlight too. ๐Ÿ™‚

So, although I may have already listened to a Christmas carol or two, or twenty, I am still leaving up my fall decor. And adding a few new things to the mix. I have wanted to make a yarn fall wreath for my front door for ages. I was bound and determined to get it done this year. I started back in October but had to take a break to make Halloween costumes. I finally finished it up. I have never made a yarn wreath before, but I really love how it turned out. Although I’m realizing as that I look at the picture that the bottom leaf doesn’t show up well. Might need to add another one.

Yarn Fall Wreath Tutorial

Start with a styrofoam wreath form. Or if you are cheap like me, buy some pipe insulation at Home Depot, bend it into a circle, and duct tape it together. I recommend pushing some thick wire through the hole before you tape it closed. I wish I had because it is a tad bit flimsy, and the wire would have helped it hold it’s shape a little better. If you can find a pool noodle, they work even better!! They’re just a little hard to come by in November. ๐Ÿ˜‰

To make the banner, I printed the letters F-A-L-L on a piece of canvas using these awesome instructions. Then I cut a piece of vellum into a triangle shape and use it to cut out the letters.
Next I hot glued the top edges to a piece of jute.
I thought it needed a little color, so I decided to make some tiny roses. I just cut some bumps in a tiny strip of felt and wrapped it up.
I hot glued it when I got to the end; then I hot glued the roses to the banner.
To finish it off, I tied a piece of jute into a loop and hot glued it on the back.
And voila, a new wreath for my front door. Finally!

    I made a wreath out of pipe insulation too. It sure beats paying 5 bucks for a wreath form. Your wreath is lovely and I love the little Fall banner!
