How to make a fun yarn fireplace insert…

As many of you know, I have  a faux fireplace. My dream house some day will have a real fire place,but for now I am going to have to warm myself by a wool fire 🙂

It was fun to make this insert for the house walk.

It was so stinkin’ easy  wanted to share!

I used a large piece of 3 x 4 ft.black foam core from the craft store. It was the perfect size for my opening.

I used white craft glue to “draw” the lines for my fire.

I then just cut my yarn to size and laid it on the wet glue to dry.

I had the colors on hand. I used red,orange and yellow.

I let it dry flat. I also recommend cleaning up any extra glue or you might see it once it dries.

Once it was dry it was ready to go!

I put some real birch logs in front of it. I love how it looks!
