Valentine’s day is not my favorite holiday but it’s pretty high on the list. Really, what girl doesn’t like a day of love, chocolate and gifts? I love to decorate for the holidays and this tutorial is a fun idea and it’s not your typical wreath. It’s fluffy!
Lets get started!
For this project you will need
- A wire hanger and foam pipe covers or a heart shaped wreath base
- Yarn (I used 3 different colors but you can use any number)
- Hot glue
- Tape
- A table or chair legs to wrap the yarn around
First start wrapping the yarn around 2 chair or table legs. This can be as far apart or close together as you want, I used 2 chairs side by side to give me more poms at a time.
When you have a about a thick handful start to tie it off in sections, about 3 inch sections. Do this all the way around.
Then cut down the middle of each one.
Ta-Da! You have pom-poms.
Lots and lots of pom-poms.
If you choose to buy a heart shaped wreath then you can skip this part but if you are feeling frugal the continue to make the wreath base.
Take a wire hanger and straighten it out then take the end pieces and hook them together and bend it to form a heart shape.
Use foam pipe covers to cover the hanger.
Use 2 pieces of foam, start at the top and go around. When you put them on cut the top and bottom at a diagonal so they make a point and fit together. Tape where you need it to ensure it will hold up well.
Now start to hot glue the poms on. I made 3 rows to make it full and to cover up the foam.
Trim the poms down where you meed to and you are done.
Enjoy.
