If there’s one thing you should know about me it’s that I love wreaths. I also enjoy finding new ways to make them. This week I decided to make a winter wreath but in an unconventional way. For my winter wreath I used an Elmer’sFoam Board rather than a typical styrofoam wreath form. It was super easy to make and with one foam board you can make 2-3 wreaths. Isn’t it pretty? I love the white and grey combo.
Supplies:
an Elmer’s Foam Board
Krazy Glue
felt
a glue gun
ribbon
white berry picks
an X-ACTO knife
To make the wreath form I traced a large plate then used a smaller plate in the center
Then used an X-ACTO knife to cut it out
I ended up with this wreath form…
I used a dab of Krazy Glue to glue the yarn to the board…
Put in a movie and started wrapping the yarn around the wreath form.
Once I finished wrapping I hot glued the white berry picks on
Then made some white felt flowers. I have a tutorial for these here.
When I was finished I added some ribbon and hung it on a mirror.
update: the weight of the flowers were causing it to tilt a little so I used removable mounting squares and it now stays in place nicely :)
And here’s my white and grey winter decor.

Ohhhhh, so gorgeous! I love the white/gray combo, it's just so stinkin' classy! I'd be thrilled if you'd come and share this at the Head to Head Showdown, going on right now at http://www.icantstopcrafting.blogspot.com ~Jen
People often wonder how to decorate "after the holidays" for the continued, Wintry season. This is great and love the final image with the other accents. Great color palette.
Love it, Crystal! I have some yarn I've been wanting to use for a wreath and have been debating about the "form" – debate solved! Thanks!
That is totally gorgeous. Seasonal, pretty, original…love it!! Would you consider sharing it here? It would make my day!

I made this flat wreath out of card board cake rounds! The 14″ and then the cut out center makes another wreath! Thank you so much for this great idea for all the extra yarn I have!
