Here's a little warning for you: The first step in this project is to wrap a foam wreath in yarn. So easy, right? YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. Wrapping the yarn around this friggin' thing took HOURS. I mean, actual, real, MIND-NUMBING hours. Take heed, my crafty friends.
Once that part is over, the rest is quite simple... once the feeling comes back to your hands, that is.
I cut some felt diamonds and put them on the wreath. Then, I wrapped some more yarn (SWEET MOSES, HOW MUCH YARN IS ENOUGH FOR YOU, VALENTINE'S WREATH?) around the diamonds in a criss-cross pattern.
I added a felt heart or two, and admired my pretty wreath.
The last part took like, five minutes. If it hadn't been for the soul-crushing hours spent on wrapping the wreath in yarn, I would make a million of these, they're so cute.
Oh, this is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI made a yarn wreath once and in the end got so fed up I'd cut a length of yarn off, fold it into five and then do 5 strands at a time, glue at the back, start again. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteIt looks really cute though if that's any consolation?
Beautiful wreath! I'm not sure I could wrap yarn for that long though! I cheated and bought a yarn-wrapped wreath at Target at the after-Christmas clearance. I can't wait to use it one day (soon?) :)
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable. What did you watch while you made it?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! and I hear you on the soul-sucking yarn wrapping part...I made a yarn covered wreath this past X-mas and it was TORTURE! But then after the compliments came rolling in (alot of them from me), my yarn wreath and I decided it was worth it! :o)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable!
