Summer Button Layered Wreath

I’ve gotten a lot better at managing my craft supply stash. It used to feel really out of control, but after a rather ruthless culling of supplies that I simply wasn’t likely to use and being more deliberate with what I bring into my space, I’m in a much better position in so many ways. It’s freeing and I find that I have more inspiration and actually use more of what I already have. This gorgeous yarn was hiding and was perfectly matched with these buttons from the latest BGM Box. I love how well they work together and the end result is this cheerful summer button layered wreath.

Supplies:

Two styrofoam wreath forms of different sizes—it doesn’t matter as long as one can fit inside the other (I used a 12” and 6”)
Multicolored yarn (I used Universal Yarn Bamboo Bloom Handpaints in Mochi)
Cream colored yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Recycled in Cream)
Gentle Surf Buttons in a Bottle
Glue
Scissors
Size J/6mm crochet hook (optional)

Directions:

Wrap the multicolored yarn around the larger wreath. You can either do a straight wrap or crochet a braid around it like I did—there are plenty of YouTube video tutorials. I used this one by Yarn and Chai.

Wrap the cream colored yarn around the smaller wreath.

Glue buttons onto the smaller wreath. I put glue on the button itself and then placed it on the wreath. You can go for full coverage or partial like I did.

When the glue is dry, attach the two wreath forms by tying a loop of the cream colored yarn around them both, tying it off tightly and cutting off the excess.
