Spring into the Easter season with this fun and easy Easter Wreath made of yarn. Easy craft project for older children.
Materials and Supplies
Craft Supplies:
- Wire coat hanger
- 5" Bunny
- 9oz worsted weight yarn
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- 4 yards 2 1/2" wide ribbon
- Little eggs or other embellishments
Craft Instructions
-
Bend the coat hanger into a circle then bend the hook into a loop as pictured.
- Next, make some yarn bundles by wrapping yarn around 3 of your fingers 30 times. Cut the skein of yarn off the bundle. Slide the bundle off your fingers. Tie a 12" piece of yarn securely around the center of the bundle*. Keep the two long strings attached.
-
Our wrath used 80 yarn bundles but this will vary depending on the size of your coat hanger and how full you make your wreath.
- Securely tie each bundle to the coat hanger with the two long strings then cut the extra off after it is tied.
- Slide the bundles close together. Continue making and attaching the yarn bundles until your wreath is good and full.
- Make a bow with your ribbon and hot glue it to your wreath as pictured.
- Using hot glue, attach the bunny inside the wreath and glue on your other embellishments.
- Use the loop at the top of the coat hanger to hang up your wreath.
Hint: I wrapped several bundles and laid them on the counter then tied them all at once. It saves time to prepare 10 - 20 bundles before tying them on to the wreath.
* To get a good tight knot, when you wrap the yarn around tuck it under two times before pulling tight and completing the knot.
