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.
I forgot to mention that the yarn smell is now concentrated between the door and the screen door and its the most comforting smell in the world to come home to! ...for a crafter anyway!
