{Get Crafty} Ornament & Yarn Ball Wreath

This year I decided to make a new wreath for the front door. I always have a fresh wreath on one door and I change up the other door's decor.

Last year's wreath (and door color!)

I've seen these yarn ball and ornament wreaths all over Pinterest and knew that was the kind I wanted to try and recreate.

I picked up everything I needed at Hobby Lobby. I used an 18 inch wire wreath form, yarn, styrofoam balls in assorted sizes, shatterproof ornaments and hot glue.

I started by wrapping the foam balls with yarn, turning the yarn every so often to cover the white completely. I tucked the ends in (no glue required).

When everything was ready I fired up the glue gun and got to work.

It helped me to do a trial layout to see how it looked first.

Then I was ready to glue it all down. I started with the larger yarn balls and then filled in with the ornaments and smaller yarn balls until the entire wreath form was covered.  I would stop and hang it up to see if I needed to fill in any spots as I went.  

Ta da!  

When I was satisfied with how it looked, it was ready to hang up on the door.  

We have a storm door so it is protected from the elements.

{We got snow!}

I love how it pops on the black door and can be seen from the street.  This was so much fun to make, I'd love to try out some other less traditional color combinations next.
