Immediately I was drawn to the floral section, and found these AWESOME green and white pearl/berry branches. Apparently they were from Christmas, though they hardly looked it, but I wasn't arguing because that meant they were 90% off!! Yes, the $2 branches were going to ring up for 20 cents. Score!
Once I had my pearl/berry branches in hand, it was easy to then find some great yarn to match and the styrofoam wreath form. I could hardly wait to get home!
Unlike the last yarn wreath I made, where I perfectly wrapped the yarn in nice neat rows, I wanted this one to look more unkempt and natural. I specifically went back and forth at different angles with the yarn to create a layered, perfectly imperfect look.
I'll be honest, it took a long time to wrap it this way, especially because I used all of the yarn so it would be a fuller wreath. But it was easy to do one night sitting in front of the TV!
The next morning, I got up to finish this lovely. Using the two pearl/berry branches, I wrapped the wire ends around the wreath, and used just a spot of hot glue to keep the tops affixed to the upper side of the wreath.
I just love it! It's the perfect late-winter look for my door!
Oh wow! This is so pretty!

I ADORE this! I've been wanting to make one for Valentine's Day. I made one out of those berry stems for Christmas, but have seen so many cute yarn wreaths lately that I really want to make one! Gotta love 90% off!!!

I can't wait to try and make a yarn wreath! This is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the wreath...great way to use up some yarn, too! I think it'd be pretty lying flat with a candle-scape in the middle! Great idea!

Beautiful! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and unique. Just found your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. I love the mix of colors and the "unkempt" appearance. I'll definitely be trying this. I also have some of that eyelash yarn that I'd like to use with the regular yarn...might look interesting.
