Well I am skipping the whole winter decor thing and moving right on into Valentines Day! I have a good reason though and I’ll share with you why I’m decorating for Valentines so soon. :) I worked on the mantel this weekend and made a new yarn wreath to display, and I love how it came out!
Isn’t it sweet? I want to keep it in my daughter’s room after Valentines. :) But the wreath was incredibly easy, and I made it exactly like I did the Fall Yarn Wreath. The only new cool thing I discovered was this yarn though…
I got it at Hobby Lobby and it’s like an Ombre type where there are different colors on the strand. And these colors were perfect for Valentines Day! So it makes it look like you wrapped several different colors of yarn (which would be a total pain) but actually it was just 1 roll of yarn. Sneaky. ;)
And then the pink feather and love sign were just hot glued on. Both were from Hobby Lobby.
And that’s it! I wrapped this wreath in record time too. And this was a 14inch straw wreath form so it’s a good size.
I’ll show you all the Valentine mantel soon too. I’m really excited about Valentine’s Day this year and I don’t know why. But I want pink everywhere. :)
And there should be a new “Pin It” button I installed below (you may have to get out of reader to view it though), so if you feel inclined to pin this wreath, it should be easy! The picture is already chosen for you and everything, so I hope pinning is easier for everyone. :)
So what do you think? Are you still in winter mode or have you moved on to the love holiday of the year too? Do tell!

xxoo,
Decorchick!
I picked up the same yarn with the idea of doing the same thing a few days ago :-) I haven’t started yet, but yours looks so cute!
I LOVE that cheater yarn! Seriously awesome. And I love the feather. And I love you. The end.
Love your guts

Love it! Makes me want to try making one for myself! Can’t wait to see the rest of the mantel!
Super cute Emily!!
It’s adorable Emily! I love the addition of the feathers too. How fanciful!
Wow, Can’t believe this is one roll of yarn…Ingenious! Girl, you have got some talent! Very cute!
Oh, I am with you on the whole Winter Decor thing. My intention was to leave out the snowmen, mittens, etc. from Christmas but then I started to put everything away and decided I was ready for Valentine’s Day so there you have it! Thanks for the idea.
I love it, I may try this.
That is truly precious! Love the colors, love the idea! I love your creativity!
So cute! And I totally thought you must have spent forever with three different yarns before you told us about the ombre yarn. Cool.
I’m not much on Valentines Day, so I’m still stuck on Winter.
That is a really good V-Day wreath!!! (and I’m sort of picky about V-Day wreaths).
Love the feather!

Love it… love everything about it!! Such a great idea adding feathers and the Ombre yarn is so pretty. I’ve wanted to make one of these wreaths for a while and I think you just inspired me to get moving! I haven’t decided whether to put some winter decor up or just go for Valentines. Decisions – Decisions… Thanks for sharing. AJ@queenofmynest

Your wreath is so, so pretty!
I so super love this. Must try this year. Great idea with the ombre yarn.
so pretty and seems relatively easy [for me] to pull off!
I love the yarn you chose – I think I’m going to have to make a Valentines Day wreath this year!
Wow, cute wreath! Love it for Valentine’s Day and for the little one’s room! Thanks for sharing!
