"The 25 Posts of Christmas" Gift No. 2

   Here it is, my second handmade Christmas gift. I know I've already made and shared one yarn wreath but, 1. I really like yarn wreaths and 2. I think they make great gifts. I I made this one for my mom (don't worry it's not her Christmas present so I didn't just spoil anything). I considered making a Christmas one but a winter themed one can be left up long after the tree is taken down.

Snowman Yarn Wreath

You will need

• Foam wreath
• Two bunches of yarn-one white and one another color
• Hot glue gun 
• Styrofoam balls of different sizes (I used 13)

Step 1. I began with the same Dollar Tree foam wreath as last time and chose to use multicolored yarn. Click here to see how to wrap the wreath. 

Step 2. I found my little styrofoam balls at Dollar Tree also, 8 in each pack. I wrapped a small ball, a  medium ball, and large ball in white yarn for the snowman and then more medium and small ones for the "snowballs." When I wrapped each one I ensured that the surface was covered, then tied the two ends together. 

Step 3. I used my new best crafting pal, my hot glue gun, to glue the snowman together and on the wreath and all the yarn balls on the wreath. I didn't want anything falling apart so I was very generous with the glue. 

I put ribbon on mine to hang up. Now wrap it up and give it to someone you love :o)
