I've seen a bunch of yarn wreaths floating around the web and I wanted to try my hand at my own.
For materials, I purchased a huge roll of yarn and a 12 inch foam wreath form.
Basically, you just tie a knot around the wreath form and start rolling.
and rolling.
and rolling.
Holy crap this took forever. It was tedious too.
This yarn wreath was supposed to be for my secret pal at work. My secret pal will NOT be getting this yarn wreath. If I spend hours and hours on an item I'm keeping it for myself. Sorry.
I may make a 6 inch version for my secret pal. 12 inches took far too long and looks far too cute to give away.
Now, to make the flowers, cut out 2-3 inch strips of felt. Put a small line of glue at the very edge of the strip and fold the entire thing over.
Then, start rolling. You'll want to use glue to keep the flowers rolled. Score one for me. I barely burned myself this time around.
Then hot glue them together to make a huge, giant, extra long strip :)
This is what the large flowers look like. Pretty, right?
Next, I used straight pins to attach the leaves to my wreath form. Now, you are more than welcome to glue these babies on. I decided against it because the wreath form took a bajillion hours to complete. The push pins will allow me to switch the flowers in/out whenever I wish.
Next, I just placed my flowers in a way that was aesthetically pleasing to me. Once again, I used straight pins to attach the flowers.
Look what we have here-- I made this with a tiny bit of glue and a few 2 inch strips of felt.
Then, I just went into my ribbon stash to find a ribbon that was color coordinated and springy.
Ta DAAAAA! Isn't she beautiful?
I am sad to take down my valentines day rosette wreath, but V-day is over.
Let me know if you decide to try this for yourself! Although the yarn bit took forever, it was so worth it. This wreath is seriously adorable in person.
What type of wreath should I attempt next?
I wanted to make a Birthday present/Virginia Tech wreath for my sister-in-law or a wreath for my mother-in-law but the hubs doesn't think they'd like one which is fine. Not everyone is down with homemade things. Instead, I'll just make more for us. Any fun ideas?

CUTE!! I'm always looking for crafts that don't require a sewing machine. I'm REALLY going to put this on the top of my to-do list because it seems so easy, and SO cute! I think I'll make a KU one for March Madness and then a springy one for our VERY MUCH welcomed spring :-) Thanks for the fun craft!
My friend and I are going to attempt a craft night this weekend and I think I just found my idea! I’m scared of how long the yarn will take to wrap though. It looks completely worth it though.
The wreath looks fantastic and so pretty for spring. You really did a nice job! Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
This is so gorgeous!!! I have your wreat tutorials starred in my reader so when things slow down I can come back and attempt them for myself. Love the purples for spring!!!
so cute ashley! thanks for the tutorial!
I love this! I'm going to try it out asap. I just realized I needed a new project. Maybe I'll do one for St. Patrick's Day and put shamrocks on it!
