Holiday Windows — With Colorful Yarn
December 22nd, 2008

I’m a student on a budget, so making a wreath like this will definitely save me money on decorating! I can use my leftover yarn from other projects to make this beautiful, simple project. All I have to do is wind my yarn into balls and attach to a wire wreath frame, available at any craft store. I might also use a pom-pom maker and add some pom-poms too.
This display at Urban Outfitters has strings of lights mixed together with yarn for an exciting and unique look:
