WOWZA Kabawza.  Stryofoam is 75 Years Old!!!  I have been using their products as long as I can remember.  I used them when I was tiny to make things for my dolls, in school projects (best solar system model ever, and with handmade flowers.  As the years have gone by and I have (sort of) grown up, I have continues to be a maker and a designer…using Styrofoam for all kinds of great things.   DO you know how Styrofoam came to be.  Today I made a birthday celebration yard wrapped wreath.  I LOVE it so so so much for so many reasons.  Before I list them, let me share it with you.  Ta Da…

Festive Birthday Celebration Yarn Wrapped Wreath

Okay, here are the reasons I love it so much.

  1. It is colorful and bright.  I love colorful and bright.
  2. It was relaxing and fun to make.
  3. It is going to be a decoration at Jordan’s Cupcake Wars birthday party in a few days.
  4. It used a bunch of my far too large stash of yarn.
  5. It supports a company that I respect.
  6. I got to make TWO trips to Michaels for this – double score.
  7. It uses flower die-cuts that I made with a die I DESIGNED FOR SIZZIX.
  8. It uses felt from Kunin Group where I am super proud member of the Dream Team.
  9. It reminds me of cheery happy thoughts, rainbows and unicorns.
  10. I secretly have been wanting to buy the tiny Styrofoam balls but needed a better reason than I could come up with.

I started like this…

Styrofoam Yarn Wreath with Sizzix Flowers

First, I cut out my die-cuts on my Big Shot machine.  This is the die that I used to get the little flowers.

I wrapped yarn around the wreath first, with knots tied in the back.  Then I covered the tiny balls in yarn and used hot glue to add them to the wreath…followed by my die-cut flowers and leaves.

Make one.  It is super fun.  It would be a fantastic project for a crafty gathering because there is so little mess with so much happy.

Cheers to Styrofoam’s 75th Birthday and to Bright Happy Things Made With Yarn,
