happy weekend! i’m going to finish all my Holiday shopping & making this week. here are a few more cute projects…. enjoy!
6. Crocheted Circle Yarn Wreath
This is a simple and fun project. First you need to crochet your circles. I did 15 that are about 1 inch wide each. My wreath is small (about 6 or 7 inches) so you can experiment with different quantities of circles to create different circles. If you’ve never made a crocheted circles here is a quick tutorial.
I’ve been making them for several months, so I had a big bowl of them to choose from. It’s a great way to use extra yarn and it’s a fun activity for movie watching or long car rides. 🙂
Next, weave pipe cleaners in the back side of your wreath. Mine needed extra support so I added an extra craft wire as well. Then twist the ends together.
Last, just tie a piece of yarn to the top the hang it from and hang it on your wall! so cute. these make great gifts and if you use a color scheme like all pink or all white it can last past the Christmas season and on through the winter, Valentine’s or Spring! 🙂
7. Cute Holiday Garland
Here’s another cute way to use crocheted circles from Rachel…
Use the above tutorial link to create cute crocheted circles and then use a tapestry needle to string a piece of yarn though them to create a pretty garland for your tree or wall. XO. (thanks Rachel!)
Be back soon with one more round of handmade Holiday inspiration! XOXO. Elsie

hey elsie, I was thinking about dying my hair bright red like yours for the new year, how did you get it that bright?
This is so cute, I’ll be trying that very soon!! Went straight into my inspiration map!
How come when I do the circles they don’t look like yours?! I must be doing something wrong 🙁
I love your wreath and garland! When I saw the wreath sneak peek, I was sure that the yarn was Baby Grande Alpaca/Plymouth. Am I right? (I love, love that yarn, and my stash of it looks like all those colors).
These are super cute! Thanks for putting this up! I have such a problem with long projects bc I tend to get distracted really easy… so this is perfect!
Hi Elsi,
I am honored that you included a link to my crochet circle tutorial. It’s so much fun to see how people are using my ideas and suggestions.
What stitch did you use for the circles on the wreath? They don’t look like standard single or double crochet.
Regards,
Michele
