Make an adorable DIY pumpkin wreath using supplies from the dollar store and a ball of loop yarn! You can make this easy fall craft in about an hour.
Cook Time1 hour

Equipment

  • Hot Glue Gun, Scissors

Ingredients

  • 1 Round Wreath Form 12 inch
  • Burlap Leaves
  • Green Burlap Ribbon
  • Orange Loop Yarn (1 large or 2 small balls)

Instructions

  • Find the end of your loop yarn and cut open the last loop to create a tail. Tie the tail to the wreath form.

  • Wrap the yarn around the wreath form, pushing the ball of yarn through the center of the form each time you wrap. Wrap tightly, pushing the yarn you've already wrapped close together so that the form is completely covered. Continue all the way around, then cut the excess yarn and tie it off in the back.

  • Flip the wreath over to the back. Using your fingers, push the loops on the back of the wreath through to the front. This step is optional, but it makes the front of the wreath look much fuller.

  • Flip the wreath back to the front, and spend a few minutes fluffing up the yarn by grabbing the loops and giving them each a tug upward.

  • Create a stem by cutting and folding a couple of burlap leaves. Glue the folded sides of the leaf together in the back so it looks like a stem. Attach it to the wreath with hot glue or the included wire.

  • Cut different lengths of green burlap ribbon to create a bow. Loop the ends of each length together and glue to make a loop, then stack the loops on top of each other to make a 3 layered bow. Add another piece of ribbon to create tails, then use a small piece of ribbon across the center to "tie" the bow together. Use hot glue to secure the small piece in the back.

Notes

Remember that loop yarn comes in two different size balls. Bernat Alize Blanket EZ (sold at Jo-Anns) is what I used here and it comes in larger balls - you'll need 1 ball for this project. Other brands like Red Heart or Lion Brand (sold at Hobby Lobby or Michaels) come in smaller balls and you would likely need 2 of them for this project.
