Spring Wreath

Happy Spring!

I have seen a few yarn wreaths around the web and was dying to try my hand at one! I love the way it came out and it was totally easy to do.

First, I started with some green yarn, a styrofoam wreath and some picks and little birdies from the craft store.

Next, I hot glued one end of the yarn to a starting point on the wreath and wound the yarn around the wreath, trying to keep it even on one side. This took me about 45 minutes. When I was done, I decided which part of the wreath was the top and wound some florist wire around and into a loop for a hanger, hot gluing the loop to make it a little hidden on the back.

Next, I cut some picks apart and started to layer and hot glue them as I went.

I added in a little birdie!

and a butterfly which I punched out of paper and glittered.

and viola!

Here it is hanging on my front door. I may add a ribbon to the top. Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my wreath. I also hooked up to the Sunday Showcase over at Under the Table and Dreaming.
