Last Christmas, I made a white coffee filter wreath. Then Chistmas passed and the white coffee filter wreath remained up. I never really felt it was very ‘Christmasy’ so I liked the way it dressed up our living room past the holiday season and filled the big space on the wall where it’s placed. Our living room is simply white and black so it fit perfectly! This Christmas though, I want to dress it up a bit. I’m thinking of some red ornaments in it?  Will let you know what I decide on that!

But… I was not feeling the white coffee filter wreath for the fall season. So after seeing the yarn wreaths, I had to make my own!

For under $10 (in which they are about $40 if you buy them on etsy) and about an hour of time, I made my own… just the way I like it!!

These are so simple to make!!  You just wrap the yarn around your styrofoam wreath just like you would think.

In order to make these flowers, all you do is cut different sized circles out of your felt material.  Once you have your circles, you’ll start from the outside with your scissors and start cutting a spiral towards the center of the circle.  Then you’ll start wrapping the spiral around itself starting with the center.  You’ll just use a little hot glue on your way around to make it secure.

For the leaves, I just drew 4 leave shapes on my green felt and cut them out.

Then hot glue everything onto the yarn wrapped wreath!  Easy Peasy!
