Yarn Wreath with Interchangeable Attachments

I've loved all of the yarn wreaths floating around out there, and really wanted to make my own. Living over here doesn't make buying things like foam wreaths very easy, so I wanted to be resourceful with what I had. A friend sent me one earlier this year so I decided that I would make a white wreath, and per my best friend's brilliant idea, attach snaps to the wreath to make different attachments. 

Here is the wreath with my first attachment: 

I started out by making felt rosettes and arranging them together.

Then I hot glued them all to a piece of white felt. 

I wanted to add some little leaves with a little bit of dimension. 

It was super easy. 

Just tie a knot, stitch up and down one small stitch on the edge, then across to the middle, stitch up and right back down again, and then do the same one more time on the other end. 

When you pull it all tight, the little leaf puckers together at the bottom. 

Tie it off and....

Voila- a cute little leaf with dimension. 

Then I hot glued the leaves in. 

As I said, I made the wreath to have different attachments. I have these big plastic snaps that I bought at the fabric market. I sewed them onto the wreath by hand. I snapped the other half in...

and put a generous dab of hot glue onto the snap.

Then I just placed the attachment where I wanted it, and held it tightly for a minute for the glue to dry on the attachment. 

It  stays on nice and snug, and comes off with ease. 

Then I just found this fun little color block ribbon and tied it around the wreath. 

Ta-Da! 

I really love it, and am sososo pleased with how it turned out. 

I plan to make more attachments to enjoy all year round!

Joyfully Attached,
