Yarn Wreath for Baby's Room

A good friend (and co-worker) was having a baby shower and I wanted to do something special. Her and her husband had been in the process of adopting a baby from China for over a year and a half and finally the time was coming near for them to pick up their baby girl! Once I received the baby shower invitation and found out the colors, I decided I should make a yarn wrapped wreath. The baby's room is grey, coral, and turquoise. Using those colors, I purchased supplies:

1. 8 in styrofoam wreath

2. grey/silver yarn

3. felt sheets (coral, turquoise, and white)

4. colored cork sheets (I found them a Michael's in a little book)

5. hot glue & gun


I decided to do something a little untraditional and wrap the wreath in the grey/silver yarn. I made coral, turquoise, and white felt flowers (go here to see all of the different flower types you can make). 

To finish the wreath, I traced out a "W" (baby's initial) on a coral cork sheet, cut it out, and glued it onto a square piece of turquoise coral. 

I love how the wreath turned out. It meant so much to me to be able to give my friend something that came from my heart, that was personalized for her precious miracle.
