Easy Loop It Winter Wreath

The fresh evergreen wreath that graced the front door for the holidays is long gone. It’s just too early to replace it with florals since winter is barely a month old. This easy DIY loop it winter wreath is just the ticket!

With my winter decorating indoors completed, I finally turned my attention to the front porch. Still decked out for Christmas, I had my work cut out for me. I decided to keep last year’s buffalo checked theme in place for another go around. However, I thought a new wreath was in order. One that would compliment the black and white accents a little better.

Remembering a round picture frame that I purchased for another project, I created a printable that I’d hoped would make the perfect wreath sign.

I still love my old wreath so I wanted to keep it in tact. It was my version of a tutorial I found on one of my favorite blogs, The Navage Patch. (They have so many wonderful projects on their site!).

My craft bin had everything I needed for a second yarn wreath so I decided the base look would stay the same. I have to admit that I’m a bit of a packrat! If I like the way a project turns out… and I liked this one a lot, I’ll buy the same supplies to have on hand. In fact, I had enough extra to surprise a friend with a “Happy Winter” gift as well.

I’m including links to everything I’m using today and the snowman printable is free to all. So gather up your supplies and lets get to it!

Supplies

• 14 inch styrofoam wreath
• 3 skeins of loopy white yarn
• 1 roll buffalo check ribbon
• 8 inch round plexiglass picture frame
• 5-6 long sewing pins
• faux snowballs
• snowman printable (see below)

Instructions

1. – Take the end of the yarn and secure it to the wreath with a pin leaving a 1 inch tail. Begin wrapping the wreath over the pin and tail to secure it in place. Keep each turn through the center of the wreath tight.

2. – Cut six 12 inch strips of your buffalo check ribbon. Fold each end in half lengthwise and cut diagonally from the open side to give the ends a prettier look. (See below)

3. – Tie the strips around the wreath at intervals of 3 to 4 inches. Push the ribbon down in between rows of the yarn. Fluff up the yarn to cover the ribbon so that only the tails are showing.

3. – Download and print the free printable below. For my frame that is linked below, I needed a wider circle than the the black circle on the print itself. I used the plexiglass as a guide and it fit inside perfectly.

4. – If you are using a 14 inch wreath and an 8 inch picture frame, it will fit tightly inside the wreath. Just to be on the safe side, I used a piece of baker’s twine to secure it as well.

5. – Push the frame inside the wreath opening. Weave the bakers twine through a loop of yarn at the top and tie a knot. Use the twine to tie on a bow for a topper.

6. – For a final touch, attach a few snowballs here and there. Poke a pin through the bottom of a snowball and into the styrofoam below.

Love it!!!!!
