A tiny bit of Christmas Cheer

'Tis the Season (to make lots of holiday themed things!)
I saw a cute wreath on Pinterest the other day that was Candy-Cane yarn wrapped fun. I clicked through hoping for instructions, but only found that it was for sale, for 80 dollars. And of course, I thought "I can do that for MUCH cheaper!"

So off to Michael's I went. 

 I bought an 18" foam wreath, red and white yarn, wreath push pins and then some dazzle for later.
 Project is very easy, just extremely time-consuming! I wrapped one color of yarn for an approximately similar distance and then pushed a wreath pin in to hold the knot transitioning to the white/red color.  It took me an hour and a half to wrap the yarn around the wreath.
 My helpful cat covered the scraps of yarn for me.
And here's the wreath all hung up on the door. I think it's fun, but it is a little skinnier than the one I saw online.

It was all put up using the wreath pins, no hot glue gun or anything else. Nice and simple!

Today my siblings are coming over to decorate the tree and the house, so I'll put more pictures up once that's done. :)

Happy Holidays everyone!
