The Final Yarn Ball Wreath

  • Share
  • Tweet

Happy Friday!!!  A couple of weeks ago, I posted this picture of my uncompleted yarn ball wreath asking for some direction.

First off, thank-you so much for all of the suggestions!  I definitely agree that it was too right side heavy and never really intended on leaving it as it was.  I tried adding a few more elements to the top right side but it still didn’t seem to look right {I think the balls I had were too big}.  I tried a million bows.  And in the end, I just ripped everything off.

Since the balls were so heavy looking, I ended up placing them on the bottom {thanks Brenda for that!} in a less random pattern and then just added a few of the nature elements.  I couldn’t quite get the look of a bow that I liked so I just added some ribbon to hang it.

Well, then I couldn’t find anywhere to hang it.  I made the burlap rolled flower, glued the ribbon to the back of it, added some cardboard to that, and hung it on the wall with some Command strips.  I’m not a huge fan of the wreath but I do love this little flower!

I ended up moving the wreath from the mudroom to the wall above the stairs leading to our basement.

So, what are your thoughts?  I think it is an improvement but  it is definitely not one of my favorite projects.  Maybe one day I should just finish it off.  For now, I have spent enough time on this thing!  Thanks again for your comments.  I’m sure this would have been one of those projects that I never got around to finishing if I didn’t have you guys to show it to!

    I love the wreath, great colors. But I really love the way you hung it up with the flower and the ribbon. Such a great idea.

    it looks good where it is! esp with the lettering to help it not seem so random.
