Required Materials:
To make this beautiful decorative wreath, you will need:

- Colorful pom-poms
- Decorative flowers
- Hot glue gun and hot glue

Step 1: Preparing the Base
- Start by wrapping the styrofoam ring with the satin ribbon.
- Apply a bit of hot glue at the beginning to secure the ribbon firmly.
- Wrap tightly so that the ribbon fits evenly and snugly around the entire surface.
This will create a stylish base for adding your decorative elements.
Step 2: Making Yarn Balls
- Unwind a sufficient amount of yarn into your palm and shape it roughly into a ball.
- Then begin wrapping the yarn around in different directions to form a well-rounded and firm ball.
- Once you’re happy with the shape, use a small knife or similar tool to tuck the end of the yarn inside.
Repeat the process with different colors and thicknesses of yarn to create a nice variety of yarn balls.
Step 3: Decorating and Finishing the Wreath
- Prepare all the elements – yarn balls, pom-poms, flowers.
- Start by gluing the largest yarn ball using hot glue.
- Continue arranging the other yarn balls, combining different sizes and colors.
- Press each ball well to ensure it sticks firmly.
- Add pom-poms and decorative flowers between the yarn balls for a more colorful and cheerful effect.
- Finally, attach a piece of twine at the top so you can hang your finished wreath.
Tips and Additional Ideas:
- Don’t be afraid to use bright colors and contrasting textures – that’s what makes the wreath stylish and unique.
- You can make a wreath with a holiday theme – such as for Easter, Christmas, or a birthday.
- Instead of yarn, you can also use linen ribbons, tulle, beads, or other decorative elements.
- Create a wreath with a seasonal motif – autumn leaves, spring flowers, or seaside elements.
