Yarn Ball Wreaths | Craft Addiction. I have gotten completely addicted to Pinterest lately. That is where I found this beauty. I immediately thought of my sister, the knitter, and told her we were going to make some wreaths. She brought over here baskets of yarns. I bought a bazillion styrofoam balls, and we started. First of all, this is NOT a simple craft. It is extremely time consuming to wrap yarn around 30-40 styrofoam balls, and waiting to glue gun them all to the wreath form, AND it takes one heck of a lot of yarn to cover every part of the styrofoam.
I used a wire coat hanger for my wreath form. I just kept adding balls, and when I started gluing them, I really squeezed them together. And the final product… Now for my sisters wreath, she wanted a larger wreath than a regular wire hanger could provide. I used duct tape to secure the ends and used a piece of wire hanger to make a hook. I thought it would take a lot more balls to make this wreath and cover all of the grey foam, but it wasn’t too bad.
Here is hers. Lego Brick Doorstop pattern by lizzyastro.
