How do you make a yarn or ribbon wreath? Want to make a 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 it up all year.
What do you need to make a yarn or ribbon wreath?
- Heart Wreath Form
- Yarn or ribbon,
- Battery LED Light Strand optional
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 the other end onto the wreath form, and made a loop to hang the wreath from.
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.

Your wreath came out awesome! It’s very creative! I don’t think I would have thought to use lights. I also like the other wreaths you have on this page. The bunny one is so cute!
