It's only the day after Halloween but I should already be thinking about Christmas (well I should have been for about a month). There are so many great holiday projects to make that the month of November really should be devoted to holiday project. This year one of the projects I'm really excited to make is the yarn wreath that Starbucks was showing in their shops last year. This wreath seemed to be very popular this year because there are so many blog posts about making your own, just google "Starbucks Yarn Wreath". She Knits Shizknits has a great tutorial on how she made hers and so does Inspired Kara .
Ryan and I really wanted to make this project last year but were turned off by the high price of the styrofoam balls, and you need a good amount to make this. But this year I was inspired by Dollar Store Crafts to search there for my supplies. Rather than get the styrofoam balls I picked up a few boxes of plastic Christmas balls to wrap (who can beat 12 for only $1). I also found some silver bells to mix in with it. I have some yarn here at the house so I should be all set to try this project this week.
