DIY Yarn Wreath
Last week I bookmarked this great DIY post from Joi's blog
Here is Joi's wreath:
Joi got the tutorial from Lindsay.
Here is Lindsay's take on it:
Lindsay got the tutorial from Danielle via Meg's blog.
Here is Danielle's version:
Here is Megan's version:
I knew right away that I wanted to tackle it as well. I hadn't decorated the house at all for Fall/Thanksgiving so I was excited to work on something to add a little holiday cheer to my house.
I went to Michaels and purchased the following items:
1 yarn skein $2.99
1 large straw wreath $3.99
10 sheets of felt $2
This project was super easy. It did take about 2 hours to get the wreath covered in yarn, but making and adding the flowers was only about 30 mins.
Here is mine:
I got obsessed making those flowers so I made a hair accessory as well:
While I was busy making the headband Jon had fun with the felt:
How you tried making one yet? Any other easy decoration projects you can recommend?

I cannot tell you how that army man scene made my day. :)
How about some of those little felt flowers to pin on scarves and such!
Haha I literally just took a break from wrapping mine in yarn! Lovin all the different color combos!
i love this! so cool to see how different everyone's take on it looks too.
So cute! When I scrolled to yours I smiled! Love the colors! And love Jon's army scene, hilarious.
It came out great. I did one last week the day Joi posted hers. It was easy and it came out so cute.

Ah, love it! Spreading the DIY love around the blogosphere! Actually though, Joi got the idea from my blog, and I got it from Meg, so you've go the two wreaths switched up. Mine's the second one and Meg's is the third one. (Blog links are mixed up too!)
I love your blue version! :)
those are great...I'm still glueing burlap to every glass vase I own...but hopefully moving on to a wreath soon!
Thanks for the post!
I've been wanting to do this! Now I have to, they are just too cute!
Whoops, actually, just checked and the third wreath picture (and link) you have up is the actual tutorial that MEG got it from. (Not mine or Meg's!) Here's Meg's, from which I borrowed the idea.

Just want everyone to get the right credit! :) Have a fabulous day!
so cute!
I love this idea!! So easy to make! And I love the bright colors!! And the headband. This will be perfect for me to make for a Christmas-obsessed friend! And it'll stay nice year after year! Thanks for sharing!
Love these wreaths...I may try one! Take care, Caroline
LOVE this- definitely going to tackle this one as well- I think I might actually be able to pull it off. Love yours and the headband- the hubby pic is hilarious!
Great wreath! I love how everyone's is the same concept, but their individual personality comes through! Your headband is great. And how funny about what your husband made! (:
Wow these wreaths are popping up everywhere! I blogged about them recently: http://comfortandjoyblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/wreaths-that-dont-suck.html
I made the argyle one shown in my post, but I am thinking of doing the floral wreath as a Christmas present. The winding does take time, but I'm glad to know it was easy to do the flower part!
adding it to the list :)
I laughed out loud at the army guys and tank!! Love all the different colors for everyone's wreaths!
Love them all! Great work!
I made one! Here's Mine

It was pretty easy and fun. We sat and watched Harry Potter while I wrapped yarn.
I love your felt flowers and want to make some to embellish the frame I did this project in (you wanted an easy project--look how easy!):
