<p>Something about the fall makes me want to pull out the yarn and start a ton of different projects.  Yarn screams fall to me.  Does it to you?!</p>
<p>My daughter came to me the other day asking me to make her &#8220;pink bear a pink blanket&#8221;.  So I obliged of course.  Anything for my <em>baby</em> girl!  Although pink doesn&#8217;t scream fall to me.</p>
<p>Fellow knitters/crocheters:  Are you working on any fun projects for the winter?  Do share!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 &#8216;Christmasy&#8217; 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&#8217;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&#8217;m thinking of some red ornaments in it?  Will let you know what I decide on that!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2134" title="wreath1" src="http://www.houseofdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wreath1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>But&#8230; I was not feeling the white coffee filter wreath for the fall season. So after seeing the <a href="http://www.houseofdesignblog.com/2011/09/yarn-wreaths/">yarn wreaths</a>, I had to make my own!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2134" title="wreath2" src="http://www.houseofdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wreath2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>For under $10 (in which they are about $40 if you buy them on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ItzFitz?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">etsy</a>) and about an hour of time, I made my own&#8230; just the way I like it!!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2134" title="wreath2" src="http://www.houseofdesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wreath3.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>These are so simple to make!!  You just wrap the yarn around your styrofoam wreath just like you would think.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ll start from the outside with your scissors and start cutting a spiral towards the center of the circle.  Then you&#8217;ll start wrapping the spiral around itself starting with the center.  You&#8217;ll just use a little hot glue on your way around to make it secure.</p>
<p>For the leaves, I just drew 4 leave shapes on my green felt and cut them out.</p>
<p>Then hot glue everything onto the yarn wrapped wreath!  Easy Peasy!</p>
