Layered Leaves Wreath

October 13, 2019 by Stitch&Unwind

Christmas wreaths are my favorite decoration to spruce up the house with. With the perfect touch of fir tree green and whatever personal flair you add, be it a velvet ribbon or coruscating ornaments, there’s no way to go wrong with this holiday classic!

I know it may seem like there are still eons to go before Christmas arrives, but it’s closer than you think. Since yarn creations can take a while to complete, it’s time to get started on your DIY decor.

The first project on your holiday list this year is 0% naughty and 100% nice: a Layered Leaves Wreath! Soft sleek, intricate, and homey, this handmade Christmas wreath is just what you need to make your party guests ask ho–ho-how did you make that?
