I've always wanted to learn how to knit, it seems like it would be therapeutic. I bought a bunch of yarn ages ago with the intent of taking a class and came across it digging for some holiday decorations in the basement. After pondering what I could make with it, I decided on this candy cane wreath.
Supplies:
Red and white yarn
Foam wreath form
Ribbon
Holiday floral decorations
Measuring tape
Pen
Scissors
Start by measuring and marking off 2" - 3" sections across the wreath form. Tie one end of the red yarn to the wreath form and start wrapping. When you get to the next section you've marked off, cut the red string in the back of the wreath and tie to the white string. Wrap the white string around to the next section and keep alternating until the wreath is covered.
Insert the floral decorations into the wreath.
Add some ribbon, then you're done!
Hang your wreath and enjoy that grand feeling of accomplishment!
Thanks for stopping by and reading today! Enjoy the weekend!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I've done the yarn wrapping on letters (which was so time consuming!) This looks a ton easier! I should try something like this too :)
