this wreath took me about 2 nights to make. 1 night i just wrapped all the styrofoam balls in yarn. and the next night put it all together.
what you'll need:
1. foam wreath whatever size you want
2. green ribbon
3. various sizes of styrofoam balls
4. 2-4 different shades of yarn
5. any embellishments you will want
6. hot glue gun
what you do:
1. wrap your foam wreath in the ribbon
2. wrap your styrofoam balls in different colored yarn. the easiest way for me was to divide all the balls up into 3 different groups so i had an even amount of each color.
3. next, just start hot glueing the yarn balls to the ribbon wrapped wreath. be sure to alternate colors and sizes. keep bigger sizes towards the base and smaller towards the top.
4. add any embellishments you might want. i got this felt shamrock from jo-annes.
5. hang up and enjoy!

Love this! BUT... It cost me quite a bit of money. Apparently styrofoam products are quite pricey. Who knew? Then, I do all the balls, wrap the wreath in ribbon, and run out of ribbon! Hopefully it is worth it in the end.
Dollar Tree is my best friend. They have packages of styrofoam balls for $1 and I use their wooden wreaths. You can get an 18" round for $1.
Love your wreath! I am going to feature it on my blog as one of my favorite pinterest pins of February. It should be up some time tonight. Check it out!
You did a beautiful job. I like this wreath so much I've pinned it in my wreath Pinterest board. Thanks for a good tute.
