Make a Cozy and Woolly Yarn Wreath
While Christmas decor can be bright and shiny, it can also be soft and comforting. This DIY cozy and woolly yarn wreath is a great way to not only bring in some of that softness and a natural feel, but it can be used into January and February long after the Christmas decor comes down. You can pick your yarn color and It helps to make your home cozy and looks cute about a faux mantel or behind a Christmas tree. Woolly holiday wreaths are easy to make and there is a video tutorial with this post if you want to see how it’s made. 2 skeins of bulky-weight wool yarn will make an approx 1 -12 inch woolly wreath.
Supplies to Make a Cozy Woolly Yarn Wreath
6″ wire wreath form to make a small wreath
12″-18″ wire wreath form to make a large wreath
2 skeins of wool roving/ bulky wool yarn color of choice
Scissors
Delicate velvet ribbon
Prepare The Yarn Pieces of the Wooly Wreath
Cut yarn pieces for the wreath. Each piece of yarn is about 8 inches long each. This will take about 2 skeins of yarn to complete a large 12″ wreath.
Make the Wreath on the Wire Frame
Double the yarn over so there is a loop on one end. Thread the loop under the inside wire rim. Once the loop is pulled under, pull the remaining ends over the top of the wire and through the top of the loop. Hold the pieces of the yarn as a whole so they pull otherwise they might shred into individual yarn pieces and pull apart and cinch up.
Continue around the wire wreath form to make your wooly wreath. After completing the first row, finish the rest of the layers of the wreath. I found each section took about 4 bulky loops. It may look not so full now, but later when it’s fluffed up it will fill out.
Shape the Yarn on the Woolly Wreath
Fluff all of the yarn and then trim the yarn with scissors to shape the wreath.
Add Embellishments
While all kind of things can be added to embellish the cozy accent wreath like twine velvet ribbon. A single velvet bow keeps it simple and pretty. This is a fun project to display and decorate with! Have fun decorating and make sure to keep your wreath from any form of heat or flame or small pets and children. For more holiday yarn projects, see how to make these yarn wrapped trees.
