Yarn-Wrapped Halloween Wreath

Hi friends,

I have a fun Yarn-Wrapped Halloween Wreath to share with you today. 🎃👻 It’s easy to make and will look so cute on your front door!

You’ll need a styrofoam wreath (mine measures about 18 inches in diameter), yarn for wrapping in orange, purple, and black, straight pins, and various ribbons for the bow. You can also add a ghost and pumpkin wood cutout or any other embellishments you’d like. The yarn I used is Beginner Bee yarn from Hobby Lobby. It’s a tubular t-shirt style yarn. I ended up using less than 1 skein of each color on my wreath. The skein weighs 2.3 ounces and has 65 yards.

I had the ghost and pumpkin cutouts in my stash – they came from Dollar Tree a couple of years ago, I’m not sure if they have them again this year. You can also find the ghost here and the pumpkin here in packages of 8.

Begin your wreath by attaching the yarn with a straight pin. Then just keep wrapping the yarn around the wreath in sections. When you are ready to start a new color, simply cut the first color, attach the end with a straight pin, and start the new color by attaching with a straight pin. Continue wrapping the yarn around the wreath. I wrapped 4 sections of each color – the sections measure about 4.5 inches each. I didn’t measure – I just eyeballed it. 🙂The photo below shows how the wreath looks from the back.

I created a Re-Fabbed style bow and used black/orange twine to tie it around the wreath. I tied another loop of twine around the wreath for the hanger. I painted the ghost and pumpkin with white and orange acrylic paint, tied a knot bow from twine and purple ribbon, and hot glued them to the ghost and pumpkin. Then I hot glued the ghost and pumpkin to the wreath.
