Twinkling Yarn Ball Wreath
Easy
I needed a light weight wreath to hang on the mirror above my mantel. Because the mirror is already very heavy I did not want to add too much weight. These hollow yarn and jute balls were the perfect solution!
After blowing up around 20 small balloons, I wrapped Jute, sparkly ivory yarn, and golden string around them and soaked them in a mixture of 50/50 water and mod podge. Equal parts.
I hung the balloons to dry using clothes pins. Be sure to put something beneath to catch the drips. It makes a big mess!
Puncture the balloons through the yarn and they will shrink back down to a small size and be pulled out through the holes in the yarn balls. Thread the yarn balls onto the wire hanger until it is full.
The Jute balls came out the stiffest, and the gold string balls are not very tough so they squished some when I was forming the wreath. It didn't take away from the overall look, in my opinion.
