What are the advantages of an autumn wreath made of yarn as a great decoration idea?

Making a beautiful fall wreath out of yarn is not a complicated DIY project. First of all, it’s fun for young and old to create something so beautiful. And secondly, your children can also take part and develop their manual skills and creative thinking. In addition, this project impresses us with the variety of colors used. You are free to choose those shades that you consider to be symbols of autumn. Here we mean warm red tones, fresh green nuances and accents in orange, yellow or chocolate brown. Everything is allowed, so that everyone can combine these colors according to their own mood. Often you take a yarn in a rather neutral shade. Then strong colors were chosen for the actual wreath decoration, that is, for the leaves and flowers, which in most cases are made from colored felt. This is how you skillfully pair bright and neutral colors to achieve a strong visual effect.

For this DIY project, you have to choose those shades that are typical of autumn.

How can you make an autumn wreath from yarn yourself?

For this craft project you will need following materials:

  • Balls of yarn (preferably more than one, but it depends on the thickness of the yarn);
  • Round wreath shape (this can be made of styrofoam, but also made of metal or another suitable material);
  • Scissors, pins, darning needle, jute cord, bow;
  • Flowers and leaves made of felt or small decorative items that go with the project.

Colorful felt flowers are a must here!

  • Take the wreath shape and wrap it with thick yarn;
  • Tie both ends of the yarn where they meet;
  • Take a bow approx. 60 cm long and hang up your autumn wreath;
  • Then start decorating it. You can use felt sheets and felt flowers for this, but other small decorative items are also appropriate;

Extra tip: The additional decoration of the autumn wreath is entirely your own personal affair. We can only recommend that you give the wreath an individual touch by decorating it nicely and making it an eye-catcher. In addition to felted leaves and flowers in traditional autumn colors, you can also use sunflowers, acorns, pine cones, corn on the cob, artificial fruit and vegetables, and even small animal figures. But don’t overdo it with the decoration! The beauty lies in the simple things, right?
