Create a DIY Modern Yarn Wrapped Wreath in 5 Easy Steps!

*1 package of yarn. {I used Red Heart Super Saver "Windsor Blue" that the hubby picked up at a quick trip to WalMart}
*1 foam wreath form. Sometimes found at dollar stores in the fake-floral department, otherwise at craft stores & WalMart or Amazon. {I scored mine for $0.79 @ GoodWill}
*Scissors
*Some ribbon

Approximate cost: $2?

1. Tie a quadruple knot around your wreath form, but do NOT snip it. Ignore your OCD and leave it be for now.

2. Wrap.. wrap.. wrap some more.. Once you get into your own routine of it, continue it. {Notes: Make sure you pick a front (aka "pretty" side) so you know which side needs to be 100% covered. I found wrapping about a 4-inch stretch of it with 5 or so lines (skipping big spaces in between) and then slowly going back & forth to fill in the empty space, really gave a nice look to it. Keep it pulled pretty tight and don't get lazy about it.}

3. Continue to wrap, fix, slide and nudge your way all the way around. {THIS TAKES TIME --if you have munchkins, this would make an awesome naptime or after-bedtime relaxing activity to zone out to while watching a guilty-pleasure show!}

4. Once you've made it all the way around, tie that beginning un-snapped part to your yarn and then wrap over it a bunch, tie it again & again, and once you feel it's safe--SNIP! Voila!

5. Now loop around a pretty ribbon, pin on a patch of fabric flowers (or whatever you choose! Maybe a wooden letter of your last name? Small sweet little wooden words? Scrabble tiles that spell out something special? A b&w photo? Whatevz!)

Now stand back and smile, because your front door has never looked so great! ;)

I used fabric glue to glue the bottoms of the flowers to a piece of soft, flexible fabric & allowed it to dry for an hour upside-down. When it was nearly dry I snipped around the edges of the big base piece so it wouldn't be visible once attached. I then took a pin & poked it right through the middle & into my wreath! Voila! I plan to make a gaggle more so I can swap them out with the seasons!
