After moving into our most recent home, we bought an entertainment center thus leaving our mantle free of a Television and bare to the bone. Once again, the bestie and I had an amazing girls weekend of crafts; one of the projects included yarn letters/wreaths. If any of you have seen this on Pinterest, you must agree that it looks easy enough (I mean honestly all you are doing is securing your first piece of yarn (usually with a hot glue gun) and then just wrapping the yarn around and around the object until it is covered to your satisfaction. What we feel like they left out is just how long it actually takes to perform this tasks. Now I know that the bestie and I are some what OCD and perfectionists so that could have played a role in it but either way we spent close to 4-5 hours doing just the wrapping of these letters. But I will say, they look amazing. We couldn't have chosen better colors for the house and a more perfect place! Thanks again Bestie!!
Things you will need:
- object you will be wrapping
- yarn (color of choice)
- hot glue gun
Another craft my Bestie and I created was, these easy-peasy flower balls. To recreate these great throw-anywhere decor, all you need is:
- a Styrofoam ball- size is up to you,
- synthetic/fake flowers of you choosing
- Hot glue gun
- Note: if your flowers come on stem like most, just pop the flower but off (you won't be needing the stem)
- Place a dab of glue on the Styrofoam ball and then quickly lay the flower bud over top. Repeat this step until the whole ball is covered.
- if you see spots of emptiness, no worries, just squeeze in another flower, the great thing about these balls is that they hide almost all imperfections and they look timeless and great.
- you can do seasonal ones to lay out during all the holidays, and the best part is they don't take nearly as long as the yarn letters do!
