Yarn Wreath

I guess the start of September made me all excited about fall this year.  I had to remind myself this weekend that it may be September, but I am still in Alabama and 82 degrees is not quite jeans and long sleeves weather.  I guess I am just wishing for it!  I guess I will have to just compromise with Bermuda shorts and capris.  =)

I continued with my fall decorating last week.  I made a couple way too many trips to Michael's and got the supplies for a yarn wreath (among other things).  I decided I wanted to put a wreath on our back door (since that's the one everyone uses when they come to our house), but I had to make it pretty simple and sturdy since that is the door we primarily use.

Here was the result!

I love it! And it was really easy to make.  I thought that all of the wrapping would take forever, but I was able to knock it out in an hour or 2 while I was watching tv one night last week (I am pretty sure it was Dance Mom's night).  I got the idea from this Pinterst Pin.  There is a great tutorial that goes along with it.  I used a rough Styrofoam wreath so I ended up just covering it with plastic wrap from my kitchen drawer so the yarn would be easier to manipulate.  

The only problem now is that I have run out of doors for wreaths.  I guess I will have to start hanging them in windows and over mirrors!
