Yarn Wrapped Fall Wreath

Let me start by saying I'm a very picky wreath person. I just think so many of them out there are just plain ugly (sorry blog land). After searching around for some inspiration though I've found the kind of simple style I like in wreaths. Now I just tackled my first wreath and I {couldn't} be happier!!

Yarn Wrapped Fall Felt Flower Wreath

Swoon! I can't stop looking at it on my door.

I started out with a Styrofoam wreath form and some yarn. Please note that the yarn is called Vanna's Choice. What yarn and Vanna White have to do with each other, I don't have have a clue.

Then I wrapped and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped some more. Next time I need to be a little more careful to wrap the yarn straighter so it doesn't get to be on and angle. This picture doesn't really show it too great..but I didn't get another other pictures of just the yarn wrapping.

For embellishments I got these little faux berries and orange things from Michaels.

And then just trimmed down the stems and used some hot glue to attach to the wreath.

Next I made three rolled flowers out of felt. I started with a square piece of felt and then cut a squiggly spiral out of it.

I then used hot glue to wrap the felt squiggle (yes, that is the technical term) into a flower,

After burning my fingers oh, three too many times I figured I should actually use these little finger covers I have so you DON'T get burned. What would have been smart: just using them from the beginning. Alas.

Whee! Three cute little flowers

Lastly I just hot glued the flowers in between my berries.

All done!

Oh, I just love it so much! Fall, you are very welcome at my house :)
