can't crochet- but love yarn?


I have been seeing these yarn wreaths popping up on people's blog but have yet found any directions on how to make one. I really love them and I keep thinking about how pretty one would look for valentines day. If any one knows where to get these instructions please share! I am sure I could figure it out but I end up wasting time and supplies when I do stuff like that!

How pretty! If you get the directions, please post them. I've never seen anything like it!
So glad you are back posting!

Ok, I don't have step by step directions or pictures...or a link BUT I remember seeing a tutorial on this somewhere. They sell styrofoam wreaths at several craft stores, OR you can cut one yourself out of a styrofoam disk (probably not worth the hassle) and then you just hot glue one end of the yarn to the back of the wreath and keep wrapping your little heart out until you cover the whole thing, then tuck and glue the end on the back again. Then you can poke the stems of any flowers or whatever in the styrofoam. I've seen one where they cut out felt flowers and attached them using cute pearl flower pins. Whew...long enough explanation?? hope that helps!

Wow I love that...I wish you new how to make one so I could buy it from you. So pretty and soft looking. You could even do it in a babies room. What your friend Amy sounds like it would work.

Elsie Flannigan had a Style School class thing awhile back and that was one of the projects. After she posted her's they started popping up on other people's blogs as well. Here's instructions for on the the versions: http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/02/feather-butterfly-wreath-diy.html
