Easy DIY Yarn Wreath For Spring From Scraps

One American tradition I have discovered since blogging is that you guys have a wreath for every holiday. After a bit of Pinterest browsing, I wouldn’t be surprised if I found a wreath for every day of the year.

In the UK, wreaths tend to be just for Christmas. It’s rare to see a door wreath any other time of the year. I’m bucking that trend. I believe wreaths aren’t just for Christmas. I make both fall and spring wreaths for my front door every year.

Last year I made a natural egg wreath for Easter; the year before, I made a Marimekko spring wreath. This time I’ve delved into my scraps pile and have made a yarn wreath with a scrap fabric birdhouse.

As with most of my adult crafting, I prefer to use my existing resources. I try to avoid going to the craft shop as much as possible. For example, my denim wreath with felt flowers was made from repurposed fabrics I already have.

Using Repurposed Materials For A Yarn Wreath

I used the stash of wool and fabric scraps from other projects for this DIY yarn wreath. I have a good friend that is a punch needler. Every so often, she passes me her bag of yarn offcuts. She knows I’ll do something fun with them, like one of these cool adult yarn crafts.

I use these scraps to make decorative tassels or colourful pompom flowers. This time, I made a colourful spring wreath. The mini birdhouse on the wreath was made with fabric scraps and cardboard packaging.

So this is a very affordable DIY yarn wreath to make and is very simple. Even the birdhouse is a lot easier to make than it looks.
