I think it’s time for me to publicly admitā€¦I’m a sentimental hoarder. I have bits and pieces of memorabilia that have travelled with me for years! In this particular case it’s skeins of my paternal grandmothers yarn.

DIY Yarn Christmas Treesā€¦a fast and easy project. All you need is harm, Elmers Glue and a styrofoam tree form. Keep in mind I don’t crochet or knit. Oh, my poor grandmother tried to teach me to crochet as a young girl. I could crochet a single chain the length of a football field – but I could never loop the chain in a double stitch – my visions of creating a potholder for my mother were dashed and I hung up my crochet hook. But, grandma’s yarn was important to me. These balls of yarn have lived with me in Florida, North Carolina and Georgia and I have never used themā€¦until now!

I was rummaging through my craft supplies and saw these creamy white skeins and knew instantly what I would use them forā€¦yarn trees!

Here’s what I used:

  • 3 different types of creamy white yarn
  • Elmer’s Glue
  • Styrofoam tree forms in varying sizes

I wasn’t perfect with my wrapping, which is the effect I wanted for my trees. The glue dries clear so you don’t need to worry about it getting all over your yarn.

We’ve done arts and crafts to get us ready for decorating. The day after Thanksgiving we will bring everything up from the basementā€¦and it’s a lot of stuff – I’ve been collecting and decorating for a long time šŸ™‚ My goal this year is to not purchase any decorations and use what I already haveā€¦I’m up to the challenge!

  4. These are so pretty! I love how you grouped them together with some different trees and cute glittery reindeer! The stuff you hoard is gorgeous, there’s no way I could throw it away either!!

  5. As I say, it’s not hoarding if you actually use it one day šŸ™‚ Love that you held on to the yearn skeins until you found the right way to use them ~ and the tree idea is clever and super cute! Your grandmother is smiling! Bwg ~~~
