Fall Wreath

Hi All!

I recently finished this crafty fall wreath I've been working on for awhile:


I was inspired by this post and my love of yarn pom poms! They are so fun and easy to make!


I used this set of Clover Pom Pom makers (size Large) which make it really easy to crank out pom poms pretty quickly! I had a floral foam wreath lying around so I covered it with felt just to keep the yarn from sticking to it in a weird way. Once I hung it on the door I felt that it didn't hang quite where I'd like it to so I put a brown ribbon on it which I think kind of ties it all together. As Halloween approaches I think I will stick some paper bats on there too!


As far as materials used here I just pulled all the fall colors out of my yarn stash. I think there is only Red Heart Super Saver and I Love This Yarn in there. You'd want to keep the yarn weights and types similar just so the balls hold together right. I backed off on the number of balls a bit so I may put more in at some point to fill out some spots around the edges. It doesn't look too off in the photos, but in real life its a little unbalanced.
