I posted these wreaths late in December last year, so I wanted to show them to you again. These yarn wreaths turned out SO cute and were very simple and affordable. I think even young preschoolers would have great success (and fun!) making these.
Delaney’s ornaments for gifting this year are these simply adorable yarn wreaths. She was able to whip-out six of them in about half an hour!
We started with some restaurant kids’ cup lids that we had around. Using the straw hole as a starting point, I cut out the center of the lid. I tied on a piece of bulky green yarn, and Delaney got busy winding it around and around. If she ran out of yarn, I just tied on another piece and we hid the knot while winding.
When she was finished winding the yarn, I used a little dab of hot glue to secure the end. Then, we added sparkly bows from the craft store (found in the mini tree decorating section) and a ribbon for hanging. Sweet!
Those are adorable, we’ll have to do that next year!
Great craft idea! I’m looking forward to trying it next year! (Or maybe for Valentines’ Day with a color change….)
They are very pretty. I’m glad you reposted. I think my kids would like doing them.
Love this idea! We are going to do this as a gift!
Thanks.
I thought these were going to be like the ones my grandmother used to make. She would crochet around the plastic rings from a six-pack of soda. Of course, I don’t crochet and no one in my house drinks soda, so a HUGE THANK YOU for a simplified approach that’s still adorable. I’ll add this to the queue of art projects this season.
