Winter Firplace Garland

by Paint Yourself a Smile

Are the winter blues starting to set in? I have a solution! Let’s create a warm winter fireplace with a yarn and greenery garland.

Yarn Garland Supplies

Main Supplies

• Faux Lambs Ear

• White Chunky Yarn

( I used Loops & Threads® Chunky™ Yarn – White – 5.2 oz )

Construction Supplies

• Needle & Thread or Fishing Line

• Craft Wire

• Removeable Adhesive Hooks

Extra

• Glittered Pine Cones (optional)

• Battery Operated Small Light String (optional)

I attached 7 small removable adhesive hooks to my mantle. My favorite brand is the 3m Command hooks.

I measured the width of the mantle and evenly spaced 5 hooks on the front, 1 on each end and 3 in the middle. I also placed 1 on each end in the back.

I then draped my yarn making small and wide loops

The next step was to make pom poms. Start by placing a short string between your fingers. Then wrap the chunky yarn around your fingers a few times and secure it with the string.

Use the string to tie the bundle off.

Next cut the tail.

Then cut the loops.

Lastly, give the little ball a hair. I cut over a trash can because it can get messy

Once I had my pom poms, I used a needle and thread to string them together making a chain. I used fishing line because I didn't have any clear thread on hand.
