A Winter Wreath {with Lion Brand Yarn}

Now that the Christmas decorations are down, my mantel seems a bit bare.  I'm not one for piles of decorations but a winter wreath sounded just right.  I made this one using Lion Brand yarn and a few items from the dollar store.

I bought a wreath form and a few snowflakes {to add an icy look} and used different varieties of Lion Brand yarn: Luxe Fur in Ivory, Vanna's Glamour in Diamond, and Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter Eyelash in Sterling.

I wrapped the wreath form in white fabric to ensure no green would peek through then wrapped it in Luxe Fur yarn to give it a soft, snowy look.

I glued a big icy snowflake onto the back of the wreath {when the wreath is hung in the window, the snowflake catches the light} ...

... and attached smaller snowflakes to the front then topped them with pom poms in different sizes.  The pom poms remind me of snowballs, something we don't see enough here in Texas.

The different Lion Brand yarns add great texture to my winter wreath.  I love the softness of the Luxe Fur and can't wait to knit something with it.

I'm loving my new winter wreath ... it's such a fun, seasonal touch to my mantel.

The yarn for this project and other compensation was provided by Lion Brand yarn but all thoughts on the yarn are my own.
