Do you ever see something and can't get it out of your mind? Something that speaks to you and begs you to take it home?
I saw a Anthropologie tufted wool wreath last year and it was love at first sight... but it was love with a price! A big over $100.00 price.
So, I decided to make my own "tufted" (pom-pom) wreath. The wreath is fuzzy and warm and tufted and lumpy and looks like a sheep... a perfect wreath for wintry weather!
This wreath was sooooo easy to make and really fun. Even if you are not a crafter, this is a diy for you...
ANTHROPOLOGIE INSPIRED TUFTED WOOL WREATH DIY
2 skeins Red Heart Light And Lofty Yarn in Cafe' Au Lait or any fuzzy wool
Clover Pom Pom Maker (click HERE for resource)
1 straw wreath, leave the plastic wrapping on
hot glue
1 and 2. Make pom pom's using two skeins of yarn. I make the pom-poms using a Clover Pom-Pom Maker.
3. Trim any straggly ends off the pom-poms and put wreath and pom pom's on a covered work surface
4. Glue pom-pom's in a close but random pattern, covering the wreath.
5. Add an extra pom-pom here and there to make the surface of the wreath lumpy.
6. Pull on the yarn so it gets fuzzy and fluffy.
That's it! I told you it was EASY!
Hang and enjoy!

Great question, Pat. I used the small pom-pom maker.
DeleteThe smaller of the blue and lime green pair? I guess that's the pair called "large" size by Clover.

So sweeeeeet, you knocked it out of the park, lady! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHow many inches long are the pom-poms? Thank you.
I cannot pin items? When I click on "pin" it says it is not available? Love the project and can always go to your blog...just wonder why I cannot pin anything??!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely how to!!
Not sure why you can't pin. Did you try the "Pin It" button at the bottom of the page?
DeleteLOVE IT!! You did a great job....now I want to run over to Joanne's and make one. Thanks for sharing this one!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely...I never knew there was an actual devise for making pom-poms. This idea would also make a nice throw pillow...just attach them down with needle and thread! Thanks for sharing!

Just bought my first pom-pom maker (Extra Large) and made a green one out of old yarn. Turned out cute and looks like a "moss ball"!. Fun to make and you can just toss them anywhere around the house. They make nice cat toys too. :) Thanks Yvonne for turning me on to pom-poms!

IN.
Cute! Pinning - thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove it Yvonne! I haven't seen the one at Anthro, but I am positive yours looks even more beautiful! Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath looks so soft and cozy. I think it would be a great stress reliever. if you "petted" is several times a day. :) Not that you need to be relieved of stress. LOL It was just a thought.
ReplyDeleteYou are so danged clever. What an awesome crafty project you have created - thanks so much for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI love it - it's gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks so soft. Nice wreath for Spring and for Easter.
ReplyDeleteSo WARM and COZY! I LOVE IT! A couple questions:
ReplyDeleteWhat size wreath did you use?
What store do you buy the yarn at?
So pretty!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jody
Love this so much! You make the BEST wreaths ever!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo Cute!! You are so talented : )
ReplyDeleteLove this - if I make it, I will have to keep an eye on my kitty cat, Cassie Mae, because she will end up trying to figure out o way to climb up and squeeze her fat butt into it while its on the wall !!!
ReplyDeletestunning! love this!

I love your version- I'd be the dummy that paid full price for the Antro wreath. I rarely do that, but when I saw it I just had to have it! I'd love to make a pompom wreath soon. It looks so fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, I think that the wreath I made was 14 inches! It really does not matter the size, you just make it the size you want it!
DeleteWhat size straw wreath did you use? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh Yvonne, this wreath is absolutely adorable! I'm going to have to make one. I haven't made pom pom's in years. I just started crocheting again which I hadn't done in years either. Enjoy your day, Gail
