Year Round Yarn Wreath Under $7!

Hey friends! I hope that you are having a great weekend! Today I wanted to stop in and share a new wreath that I made. I love brightening my front door with a decorative wreath but I don’t like needing to create a new one every season or holiday.  

After seeing so many lovely yarn-wrapped wreaths popping up all over the internet I was inspired to make one, but it seemed too time-consuming and expensive if it could not be easily transformed throughout the year. I found the perfect solution – magnets!

If you think it would be nice to have just one wreath you could use all year, here’s your chance to make one!

First you'll need this:

Pool Noodle ($1@ Dollar Tree)

Yarn ($1@ Dollar Tree)

Magnets ($3.99@ Staples)

Duct Tape

Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Scissors

Energy, Dr Pepper, & TLC Network for entertainment

Here’s how:

1. Bend pool noodle into a circle until both ends meet. Then tape them together using duct tape.
2. Use your glue gun to adhere magnets to the part of your wreath where you would like to put decorations. I used the tip of my glue gun to melt the foam around the magnets so they are flush with the wreath. Make sure to use strong enough magnets that will work through the yarn.  

3. Tie your yarn around the noodle wreath to start. Then loosely wrap yarn around the wreath, lightly tugging on the ball-end of the yarn to tighten and push the yarn together. Repeat the process until covered, then cut your yarn and sew it through the first few starting strands on the wreath using a yarn needle and tie it off.

4. Make your decorations and add magnets to them. I used alligator clips to help hold my felt bunting in place.

It’s takes a few hours but it is SO WORTH IT. I'm looking forward to updating my new wreath all year long.
