Felt & Yarn Wreaths

Over the first weekend of deer hunting a few of us ladies worked on a little wreath project. I had gathered some inspiration off of my pinterest board for us to use to create these yarn wrapped wreaths with felt embellishments.

The supplies needed for this project include:
Hot glue gun & sticks
12" Green Styrofoam Wreath
1 Skein of Yarn
Assorted Felt Sheets

First, we hot glued the end of the yarn to the wreath and made a nice base layer all the way around. Feel free to secure the yarn as you go but we only did it at the half way point and once we completed the first layer. The second layer we went wild! We just added some bulk to it by wrapping the yarn thicker all the way around and glued it once we reached the beginning.

Once the wreaths were wrapped we made our embellishments. Some of them we filled with old buttons my aunt had laying around the house.

Tack your embellishments on with some more hot glue and you end up some new decor!

Below are the ones we made:

Aunt Julie's 

Cousin-in-law Tracy's

and mine!

This was an easy project for us to work on in-between the hustle and bustle of deer camp. These babies ended up costing us about $10 each! I think they all turned out super cute and we had a great time putting our heads together to come up with different styles of "flowers". 

Thanks for doin' it with me!

Warm Up America - Michaels Event Nov 16th

To all needle-workers and those inspiring to be:

My sister-in-law told me about this. Michaels is hosting an event where all you have to do is make rectangles (knit or crochet) and they go towards creating blankets for those in need. Michaels will be teaching newbies how to make rectangles at some locations or you can drop off any rectangles you've completed. What an easy and helpful project! Go to the Michaels site for more details and to find a store near you. 

With the weather getting colder it makes me want to warm up my hooks and there's no better reason than for a good cause. This will be my first year participating and you should do it with me!
