Yarn Wreath

I was inspired by this pin on Pinterest. After clicking through the link and finding out that a 16" wreath would be over $80 after tax, I decided to make one myself. I already had the dark blue yarn and the orange fabric flowers. I just purchased the form and the light blue yarn. After Michaels coupons ~$8. I whipped this up in about two hours while watching the Oscars. I think it will look lovely on my front door!

Christmas Wreath

Let's pretend that it is still December or even January. I made this fun and fast wreath for my red and white themed Christmas cookie exchange party. I used this bookboard wreath form and these straws from Paper Source. I alternated between full length straws and straws that were cut in half or thirds. I finished it off with a scrap of glitter ribbon I had. My original inspiration was from the Paper Source catalog that had made a similar one.
