Easy DIY Wool Christmas Wreath

I’ve always admired the simple look of these yarn-wrapped wreaths, so when I saw the perfect wool in the dollar store the other day, I knew it was time for me to make my own! I made a wreath similar to this out of twine years ago, but there’s just something so perfect and cozy-looking about a nice grey yarn like this one that I used, especially at this time of year. Here’s how I made it!

Start out by painting your wreath form. Your form will almost definitely show through after you’ve wrapped it, so you want to make sure that your yarn and your form are the same color. If you happen to be making a wreath that’s the same color as your form, you can skip this step!

The next step is to wrap your entire wreath form in yarn. Start out by hot gluing one end of your yarn directly to the wreath form, then start wrapping!

And wrapping...

And wrapping and wrapping.

When I made my twine wreath years ago, I remember it being a very tedious, long process so I was determined to find a better, quicker way. And I did! (Check it out in the full blog post!)

Using my secret trick, I was able to wrap my whole wreath form in about seven minutes!

I decided to challenge myself to use a few little Christmas doodads that I already had in the house, because my Christmas decor collection really is starting to get a little out of hand, but there are tons of great options that would look good with this DIY wool Christmas wreath. You can find a lot of great options at your local dollar store or you can even use pinecones from your own backyard!
