Welcome friends! Today is day 2 of the Welcome Home Christmas Tour, and I’m sharing my foyer decorated for Christmas and also a gorgeous DIY yarn wreath tutorial. Be sure to visit my lovely friends at the bottom of this post for more holiday inspiration!
Yarn Wreath Supplies:
- Styrofoam Wreath
- Yarn, I used two different kinds
- Some kind of fancy garland with wire
Tie a knot with your first yarn (tuck the loose end under) and keep wrapping until the wreath is covered. Alternate thicknesses by overlapping in some areas.
Do the same with the second yarn, making sure to let the first peek through sometimes.
Take your garland and attach it to the wreath by wrapping the yarn tightly around it. Shape as you go and leave some strands free. At the end, tie the end of the yarn in a knot and tuck it under.
You will end up with something gorgeous like this:
I hung the wreath on the coat closet door. Here’s the rest of my foyer decorated for Christmas (and yes I had to open the front door to take pictures, while it was snowing!):
Go HERE for my fringe and eyelet DIY Christmas tree tutorial.
The mirror was a yard sale find and the table was from Craigslist. It took me a long time to find the right pieces for my foyer and I love these two together!
And one more look at my beautiful gold and white yarn wreath…
I can’t wait to finish the rest of my Christmas decorating –
I’m revealing it all next week as part of the Home for the Holidays Tour, so come back!
