I felt like getting a little crafty last weekend, and wreaths are usually my go-to project. After browsing online, I found this yellow yarn wreath online that I thought looked really pretty against a black door (our blue door has been painted black). Bright and bold for fall this year! Here’s how to make a DIY fall yarn wreath.
Supplies Needed
- Wreath form
- Felt
- Hot glue
I chose the yellow yarn to pop off the black door and jewel tones for the felt to add some depth and color.
How to Create a Fall Yarn Wreath
The yarn wreath is super simple to make, but takes a a lot of patience! Simply start wrapping yarn all the way around the wreath (mine is an 18″) and secure the end with a dab of hot glue. Be sure to leave the plastic around the wreath so you don’t get poked. I think the texture of the yarn adds a nice fall touch. This is a good mindless activity to do while you’re watching tv!
After the wreath form was covered in yarn, I got started on the leaves. I cut little leaf shapes out of different colored felt (free hand). I moved them around and placed them where I wanted them. Once I knew where I wanted them to go, I lifted them up and hot glued them onto the yarn wreath.
The total cost for the wreath came in right at $10. I love when I can make things with my own hands for our home!
This DIY fall yarn wreath feels a little like late summer and early fall all rolled into one. The pillows on my rockers are also jewel tones and it ties in well. I still have to purchase some fall flowers for the porch to really finish it off. I’m loving the pop of color you can see from the street!
I hope you were inspired on how to make a DIY yarn wreath! Have you started decorating for fall? Record breaking low temps for us in KC this weekend! If you need me, I can be found on the soccer fields this weekend…2 kids and 5 games!! Have a great weekend! XO
