Winter Yarn-Ball Wreath

I’m so excited to share this wreath with all of you.  I’m sure we have all seen a similar wreath floating around Pinterest….I gave it shot, and it turned out great!!  I’ve put together a little DIY for all of you if you want to give it a try:

Step 1:

Gather your supplies:

• Straw wreath
• Burlap to cover wreath
• Yarn differing in color/texture to cover balls
• 30-35 Styrofoam balls (different sizes if you prefer)
• Hot glue or dowel screws to hold the balls in place
• Snowflake embellishments (optional)

Step 2:

 

 Wrap your straw wreath with the burlap

Don’t forget to make a little hook with the burlap to hang the wreath!

Step 3:

Wrap all balls in the yarn.  I used a natural brown jute, tan, cream, white, dark gray, and a lighter gray color.  But choose a color pallet that you love!
 
Step 4:

Next, it’s time to adhere the balls to the wreath.  This part I left up to Derek.  When he came up with these dowel screws, I was a bit apprehensive.  However, they worked perfect!  Just screw one end into the ball and the other end into the straw!
 
Step 5:

Arrange the different colors and sizes to your liking!

Add the embellishments if you like, and voila, you’re done!
