Making a Yarn Ball Wreath

I got together when so of my local crafty friends yesterday.
We had a plan to make Yarn Ball Wreaths.

The supplies we used were:
hot glue gun
wreath frame cut from cardboard
Styrofoam balls 1.5" 2" & 2.5"
yarn
misc ornaments

Here is how the project went:
As you can see the table is packed with all kinds of good stuff.
We rolled lots of misc sized yarn balls with the Styrofoam balls & yarn.



After you have the all your balls rolled, break out the glue gun.

Just start gluing on ornaments & balls wherever you choose.
Be careful not to burn yourself or break any ornaments.
No one was burnt. One ornament broke, we wont talk about where.

As you can see, the gluing process takes awhile to get everything just right.
Try & be creative filling on the small gaps.
I used wine corks once I got home.
This was the added touch it needed.

Here is my finished wreath hanging on the front door.

I absolutely LOVE it.
