Yarn or Ribbon Wreath Instructions

Here are the simple steps to making this yarn wreath. I liked the look of the heart wreath for Valentine’s Day, but you can make this for any holiday. Try switching ribbons for a Christmas wreath or fall wreath.

Step 1: Add LED lights

I put batteries into the LED light strand, and I wound it around the metal wreath frame.

Step 2: Secure yarn or ribbon to form

I tied one end of the yarn onto the wreath form and began winding the yarn around the wire wreath frame. You could easily use ribbon of your choice as well.

Step 3: Continue to wrap yarn or ribbon

I continued all the way around the entire wreath form and I wrapped the battery pack from the lights inside. I could still feel the switch through the yarn to turn it on and off.

Step 4. Tie off ribbon end and make loop

I tied off the other end onto the back of the wreath form and made a loop for a wreath hanger. I cut off the end of the ribbon. You can double knot this loop to make it more secure.

I love how the wreath turned out and the lights happen to twinkle. You can leave it as is or turn on the lights. I made this for Valentine’s Day, but I could easily leave this up all year around.

Hang it on your front door as a seasonal wreath.  Add bows to that wreath frame, or hot glue other accents from craft stores if you like.  You can customize this wreath for any holiday. I like this in my home’s decor, and I leave it up year round.  

Other wreath ideas include:

• Use wire ribbon (see tips below) or floral wire to wrap your wire frame for more texture and structure.
• Use pipe cleaners, spools of ribbon, greenery, or faux flowers for embellishments. Switch embellishments for different seasons or holidays.
• Use these same simple steps to make burlap wreaths using burlap ribbon.
• You can use these for your Christmas decorating making a beautiful wreath.
• This makes a wonderful housewarming or Easter, Spring, Summer, Thanksgiving, or Christmas gift. It’s a great project for the holiday season. Just try new ribbon colors.
• Try different ribbons. Think about using different patterns of ribbon, different colors, or even textures like satin, fuzzy, etc. Try red, blue and white ribbon for a patriotic July wreath!
• Use deco mesh ribbon and attach it to your wreath base.  You’ll be surprised how easy it is.
• You can add words by creating them with your silhouette or cricut.
