Gorgeous WINTER WREATH with Bottle Brush Tree Accents

I love hanging a homemade wreath on my front door. The best part about a DIY wreath is that you can create a unique piece of decor at a great price. Today, I am sharing my latest creation. It's a darling "super soft" DIY pom pom winter wreath (with bottle brush tree accents) that is surprisingly easy to make!



Isn't it gorgeous? And I swear, the picture doesn't do it justice. I totally wish you could touch it too. I made it with "velvet" yarn, and it is sooo soft. My kids touch it every time they walk by it. lol


I started with a styrofoam wreath form, and I wrapped it in yarn (securing it periodically with hot glue). Then I covered it in homemade pom poms.


To make simple pom poms. Wrap yarn around your fingers, slip the yarn off your fingers and tie it in the middle, cut the loops, and trim to shape. It's that easy! You can also check out the video here.

 

Then, you use the long ends of yarn (that you used to tie the middle of the pom pom) to secure the pom pom to the wreath. Just keep making and adding pom poms until you are happy with the look of the wreath.


I finished the wreath by using some hot glue to add three inexpensive bottle brush trees to the wreath. (I got my bottle brush trees at the dollar store, but you can get them at Walmart, Amazon, or a craft store.) Don't you love it?




This would be a great wreath for the holidays, but the "winter" feel would make it wonderful for after Christmas too. What do you think?

      I used a 16" wreath form. Here is the one I ordered: https://amzn.to/2PsoAJO The amount of yarn you need depends on the weight of the yarn and the number of pom pom you make. You should be good with 2... but you might need 3.

    Omg I love it! I especially love how it’s more wintery than Christmasy so you can hang it all winter long!

      I love that too. It's always so sad to take down all the Christmas decorations, but this one is staying up! :-)
