DIY Winter Wreath

This winter wreath post was sponsored by Lion Brand Yarn.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.  This post contains affiliate links.

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, my mantel seems a bit bare.  I’m not one for piles of decorations but a winter wreath sounded just right for this time of year and a great way to fill some of the empty spaces left after Christmas.  I made this one using Lion Brand yarn and a few items from the dollar store.

I bought a foam wreath form and a few plastic snowflakes {to add an icy look} and used different varieties of silver and white Lion Brand yarn: Luxe Fur in Ivory, Vanna’s Glamour in Diamond, and Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter Eyelash in Sterling. 

Since this wreath uses neutral colors, look for yarns that have different textures  to add interest to the wreath.

I wrapped the wreath form in white fabric to ensure no green would peek through {you can skip this step if you’re using a white foam wreath} then wrapped it in Luxe Fur yarn to give it a soft, snowy look.  I love the full texture of this yarn.

I glued a big icy snowflake onto the back of the wreath {when the wreath is hung in the window, the snowflake catches the light} …

… and attached smaller snowflakes to the front then topped them with pom poms made with different yarns and made in different sizes.  

The pom poms remind me of snowballs, something we don’t see enough here in Texas but something we keep our fingers crossed for every winter!

The variety of Lion Brand yarns add great texture to this winter wreath and the contrast is perfect.

I love the softness of the Luxe Fur and can’t wait to cast on and knit something with it.

I’m loving my new warm winter wreath … it’s such a fun, seasonal touch to my mantel and a perfect way to endure the end of winter while we wait for warmer spring weather to arrive.

    This is a perfect winter wreath! We don’t get snow here in Georgia either (maybe a flake or two every 3 years) That yarn looks so soft, would be perfect for a sweater, scarf or afghan. Snuggly soft.

    How do you recommend attaching the pom poms to the wreath?

      I just used a bit of hot glue to attach them.

    HOLY COW. I tried making those eyelash yarn pom poms. It looked like a threw up glitter everywhere! Do you have any handy tips as to how to make them in a neat way? I’m using them in a bridal bouquet that’s entirely made of pom poms. (but my sparkly ones are gold instead of silver)

      I used a pom pom maker which may have made the process a bit tidier but I still had a lot of glitter everywhere as well. They didn’t continue to drip glitter after I made them though and I haven’t had any problems with the wreath dropping glitter. I just love your bouquet idea … will you upload a photo to the Dukes and Duchesses facebook page? I’d really love to see it!

      I’m so glad you like it! I varied the pom poms a bit in size but they all range between one and two inches.
