DIY YARN BALL CHRISTMAS TREE wreath

December 10, 2013 By Aniko 10 Comments

Ok…I promised another Christmas project tutorial last week.
 How many more can I make?Hmmm…not  much more!Seriously!
I am done with decorating and now I think its time to move on to  Christmas shopping.
What?
I haven’t bought anything yet?Yep- I am crazy like that.
How is everyone with Christmas shopping?
Yesterday we wrote a letter to Santa { the whole family } and we got some interesting answers for
“What would you like from Santa”?
My 4 yrs old: Ninja Turtle I-phone–hahaha–he is too funny
My hubby: Tesla — of course honey
My 2 yrs old: a gift { at least his is realistic }
So this wreath was born just because I had too many old ornaments that I didn’t use this year and I thought it would be fun to create something like this
Well, this wreath was my inspiration.
Walking around in TARGET I spotted this wreath and I LOVED it.
 When I got home, I dig my closet but couldn’t find any sweaters that I didn’t need anymore so I went on to purchase yarn. Because I used RED to decorate this year, I picked colors that would match my color scheme.I chose the thicker yarn.
Using my favorite tool, {hot glue gun} I glued the yarn on the ornaments, starting from the top. You have to be quick, because the glue will dry super fast.
Just glue a little spot at the time. It looks time consuming, but it really isn’t.
Nice, eh?
 I made some balls using only red and only cream color yarn,
I twisted the 2 colors and created some balls that way.
I mix matched the colors…I really had fun with it.
.
I  played around with all possibilities and got some totally different looking yarn balls
Originally I wanted have a circle shape wreath, {just like my inspiration wreath}, but I didn’t have enough balls made and to cover the circle shape so I decided to cut a Christmas Tree shape out of cardboard.
I glued my yarn balls on the cardboard and covered the edges with yarn.
 To hang my wreath, I braid the yarn and punched a hole on
the card board to tie the braided piece on.
I filled the holes between the balls with yarn so my “tree” was fully decorated.
I really think it turned out very nice.
 Lots of texture and its so different because it’s shape.
I ended up hanging this wreath above my fireplace.
Here is another wreath you can easily create
DIY POLKA DOT Christmas Wreath
Or how about this super festive

And if you wish to see how I used these

Have a fantastic day!
