How do you make a yarn or ribbon wreath? Want to make an I found some beautiful yarn from a thrift store for $1. I then ran to Dollar Tree and picked up a heart wreath and a battery-operated strand of LED lights. For $3, I made a heart wreath – great for Valentine’s Day or keep this craft up all year.
What do you need to make a yarn or ribbon wreath?
- Heart Wreath Form or wire wreath form
- Yarn or ribbon,
- Battery LED Light Strand optional

Yarn or Ribbon Wreath Instructions
I put batteries into the LED light strand, and I wound it around the wreath form.
I tied one end of the yarn onto the wreath form and began winding the yarn around the wreath form. You could easily use ribbon of your choice as well.
I continued all the way around the 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.
I tied off the other end onto the wreath form and made a loop to hang the wreath. I cut off the end of the ribbon.
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. Add Some bows to that wreath frame, or hot glue other accents from craft stores if you like. I like this in my home’s decor, and I leave it up year round.
Other ideas include:
- Use wire ribbon or floral wire to wrap your wire frame
- Use pipe cleaners, spools of ribbon, greenery, etc.
- Use this concept and make burlap wreaths using burlap ribbon
- You can use these for your Christmas decorating making a beautiful ribbon wreath
- This makes a wonderful housewarming or Easter, Spring, Summer, Thanksgiving, or Christmas gift. It’s a great project for the holiday season
- Use different patterns of ribbon or different colors, or even textures like satin, fuzzy, etc.
- 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.
