Wreath making is one of my favorite DIY projects! I’m proud to say I have never purchased a ready-made wreath. They always seem so pricey and I think to myself that I could totally make it myself! Every season and holiday I make something new for the front door. It’s the beginning of the fall season and I wasn’t sure what to make. Then I found this awesome chunky yarn and I knew it would be perfect for a wreath! I shared how to do it on my Instagram Reels, but many people requested a more detailed blog post for my DIY Yarn/Crochet wreath!
Basically what are doing is making a single crochet stitch and your wreath frame is acting like one of the pieces of yarn when you have to loop in front of it.
Here are the directions in picture form:
Step 1: Make a slip knot.
Step 2: Put your hook in your slip knot. Then loop the yarn underneath the wreath form.
Step 3: Once it’s looped on the hook you are going to pull it through the first loop aka where you made a slip knot.
Step 4: Now your back to one loop and you just start all over again. That’s it. Super easy!
In one version I finished off the wreath by tying on a satin ribbon and making a bow. I hot glued the bunny ear part of the bow on the wreath to make it stay in place.
In another version, I cut out a bow from felt and glued that into place.
You can also move the yarn around while you are crocheting. In my first version, I had the looped/braid part on the front of my wreath. On the second wreath I kept that as a border and left the front without the braid/loop.
Are you ready to tackle one? It literally took less than 15 mins to do!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
