It’s the last day of our 12 Days of Christmas crafts and it’s an easy one for you! Today, we’re going to make yarn-wrapped ornaments. If you read the DIY stocking tags post, this will look really familiar!

I hope you enjoyed this little mini series of short and easy DIY tutorials! Let’s do it again next year!


WHAT YOU WILL NEED

YARN | CARDBOARD | HOT GLUE GUN | SCISSORS | PENCIL | NEEDLE


HOW TO

  1. Draw a tree shape onto a piece of cardboard.
  2. Cut out all of the shapes.
  3. Using a glue gun, dab a small dot of glue as you wrap the yarn around the cardboard.
  4. You will need to wrap the yarn over the entire tree 2-3 times to make sure everything is covered and the yarn is nice and thick.
  5. Make sure to take your time around the edges. You want the glue to have time to dry so the yarn stays in place and doesn’t move off the edge.
  6. Once you finish, use a needle to thread a piece of yarn through a glued-on strand to create your loop for hanging. (You could also use a hole punch like I did for my stocking tags, but my trees were too small at the top to make a hole with out ripping the top off.)
  7. Tie a knot or hot glue the finished loop strand.
  8. Hang those babies up! I really love this one because you can really make any shape you want!
