Well, I am pretty sure I will never make another yarn wreath again.
This one took about two months. Go ahead and laugh because I am.
I every time I went to work on it {all four times}
the. yarn. kept. knotting. up.
I had to cut, untangle, retie about 24 times,
and that took all the fun out of my wrapping rhythm.
It also caused some little knots
and fuzzes that I couldn't cover.
Thank goodness no one uses our front door so it
can be admired from afar.
I did however fall back in love with felt when I made these flowers.
They remind me of gardenias.
It is definitely un-epic, and I am okay with that.
Just like I am okay with never making another one again and okay with never wearing jeggings.
Did I mention I will probably never make another yarn wreath again?
NEXT time I want a yarn wreath I will be hitting up these ladies:
{Come and Knock}
{Cranny Found Favorites}
Seriously. I am not making one ever again.
ooooo i love it though. i'm all about some teal right now and it's so simple...not a lot of color mixing all over the place. i LOVE it! great job.
Replyhey…where'd you get that cute bird?
ReplyI've been thinking about making one of these, but now I'm not so sure. I think yours looks great. The color and gardenias are fab. Perhaps I'll just purchase the yellow heart wreath from Come & Knock that I've had my eye on.
Replylove the colors you used and touch of lace. very pretty! i can't say yarn wreaths are my calling either. i actually made a wreath for our front door this weekend and wrapped only part *less than 1/4 of it in yarn :)
Replylol...i guess it's good that you tried right? i think it turned out super cute though! love the color..great for spring and summer!! p.s. i love the one i got from cranny pictured above...but i'm thinking i need a bigger one...soon!
ReplyIt turned out fantastic though!! I'm actually working on my second one right now. Wrapping it is so tedious, but I love the look in the end. LOVE Come and Knock wreaths. They are so pretty.
ReplyI love the wreath, I think it turned out great. The colors are gorgeous. I have been trying to find lace like that and I can't seem to find any. Where did you find it?
ReplyI like your first and final wreath. The colors are pretty and the lace is a nice touch.
Replyi think it looks lovely. :) curse words and knots included.
Replyi turned out quite beautiful :)
ReplyYours looks so nice, Lindsay! I made a yarn wreath like yours a few months ago & I used a thicker yarn so it took about half the time to cover... I'm all about the shortcuts :)
ReplySuper cute, and I LOVE the turquoise! I just made a wreath last week for a friend's birthday! :)
ReplyOh it looks great! I usually stick to ribbon to wrap wreaths... much easier to deal with (yet not as fun looking of course). I actually have a wreath that I've stopped because my hand got tired of making rosettes! I must get back to it soon!

You are so funny :) It is very cute!
ReplyI love it. I still haven't finished mine either, and it's been at least two months. I have now decided that I don't like the color felt I chose for the flowers, so I have to go and get something different.
ReplyAre you kidding me?! I love this!!! In fact, I'm pinning it. I honestly love it that much.
Replyugh. that was supposed to be from my "leapfrog" account.
ReplySo...my sis just gave me all the stuff for Mother's Day to make one:) We'll see:) Yours looks great!
