Please download the Snowflake Wreath free pattern for full insturctions on how to create this beautiful wreath.

Step 1: Wrap the Styrofoam balls

Wrap yarn around the 3”, 2 /12” and 2” Styrofoam balls until foam can longer be seen. Weave in the loose yarn. 

 Step 2: Insert Stem Wire

With wire cutters, cut stem wire in half. Insert the stem wire through the yarn wrapped ball about ½” up from the bottom. 

Step 3: Cluster the wrapped balls around the wreath to determine design.

Use different colors and textures around the wreath. Take a digital picture of design before securing to the wire wreath.

Step 4: Attaching the Balls to the Wreath

Attach the balls to the wire wreath, being careful not to wind the wire too tight just in case you need to make a few adjustments and move yarn balls for a better fit.

Once the all the yarn balls are in place, tighten and trim the wires on the back of the wreath. 

Step 5: Sew on the Snowflakes

Sew 5 snowflakes around the finished wreath. Make a chain and attach to one snowflake and hang from the top center of the wreath.
