We had a Craft Club this past weekend and it was FUN, FUN, FUN!
Our lovely hostess picked out the Argyle Heart Wreath!
Not only was this craft so easy, it was quick! I think most everyone was done in under two hours!
My wreath is now hanging on the inside of my front door - primed and ready for the Valentine Holiday!
Here were the materials:
1 Foam Wreath Ring
Yarn - in the color of your choice
Felt Hearts - we used 7 pink, 7 red
Glue Gun
Ribbon for hanging

To begin, glue one end of the yarn to the back of the foam ring - and start wrapping. Here, you have your choice of doing a multi-layer wrap, where the base is more 3D than flat - or you can just wrap it very tightly in single layers. I did the single layer and I saw some crafting experts (the mommas that have done this before) wrap a few loops around the ring and then pull them in tightly (so you're not constantly looping the whole ball of yarn every single time)- it worked out nice.
After wrapping the whole ring, you can cut and glue the end into the back of the ring OR you can leave the yarn where you ended, glue your hearts onto the face of the wreath and then start criss-crossing the yarn across your hearts to make that argyle pattern.
There are a few ways to criss cross - I criss-crossed each heart and then moved onto the next. I think some mommas 'crissed' all their hearts in one direction and then went back to cross in the other direction.
Also, when gluing your hearts to your wreath, you can have them facing in alternating directions, all in the same directions or you can glue a few and not have them cover the entire wreath!
When you're done, just cut off the yarn and glue it to the back.
We had pretty, pink, wired ribbon for hanging.
Other options for hanging are just to make a small yarn loop in the back for hanging.
Here are the finished results - they're all so cute and not every one looks the same. Okay -they mostly look the same - but if you look at the first wreath on the left, you can see that this Crafty Momma didn't cover her whole wreath in hearts!
I've seen multiple pins creating yarn wreaths and using felt to decorate - totally easy and not time consuming at all! I can't wait to find another one to make - maybe for Easter!
