Here's another wreath from last year... I was so excited to pull this one out of storage.
I had a lot of fun making this one. I had seen some yarn-wrapped ornaments on display at Starbucks and fell in love immediately.
I started by wrapping the straw wreath form in yarn.
Then I wrapped a bunch of styrofoam balls with yarn.
I also added in some yarn-wrapped ornaments. I liked that some of the sparkle of the ornament showed through.
Throw in a few jingle bells and whole mess of hot glue and you have yourself a yarny-ornament-jingle bell wreath!
What do you think? Are you ready to start pulling your Christmas stuff out yet? Now that it's getting colder I can't wait to get the tree up!
Blessings,
Jamie

super-de-duper cute! love it!!! you are so stinkin' clever. if i didn't love you i might hate you. ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! What a talent! Thanks for sharing these fun crafts.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
Ooooooh, Ahhhhh. So pretty! Yet an other wreath to attempt making! It looks great against the contrast of the red door, too.
ReplyDeleteI am so not ready! Overwhelmed at this point with orders,volunteer stuff, and Thanksgiving...maybe i a week or so. The wreath is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo cute I love it...may just try one myself. Yarn is always pretty done the right way.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the jingle bells in there : ) I'm going to add this to my Winter pinterest board!
ReplyDeleteJaimee @ craft-interrupted.blogspot.com
this is very cute! love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteI really sort of love this. Probably most of all I love the colors-- not your typical color combination for Christmas and not super trendy color combo either. I love it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm having my first giveaway on my blog and i'd love if you'd check it out!

Jamie, It's cheerful and charming! A lovely welcome for your guests.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Very cute!!! I love it! I am so not ready for Christmas let alone getting out the decorations! But seeing your wreath is helping me get in the spirit. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! How awesome. I love Christmas decor that doesn't SCREAM Christmas and this is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI was unsure about creating a yarn wreath--yours has encouraged me to give it a try. I like how you added the bells--so different.

Lovely and unusual!
ReplyDeleteFun and so easy! I love the colors that you chose. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from FJI. I love this! What a cute idea! Although never ready for the holiday hustle and bustle, I love pulling out my handmade ornaments and deciding what I would like to make to add to my collection. Your wreath has inspired me.
ReplyDeleteWhat else can be said except ... gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI just made my first yarn ball wreath tonight. After I had glued all the yarn balls on I realized I should have wrapped the wreath part in yarn, ribbon, burlap, anything really - like you did. I had to go back and try to cover the ugly wreath part with pieces of red ribbon; it's basically a hot mess from the back but it looks ok from the front. Live and learn! I love the jingle bells you put on yours. I may have to buy some at the store and add them to mine.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! What a fun and whimsical wreath for the season! I'd be thrilled if you came and linked up to the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com
