yarn ball wreath W

hat I love about this wreath is its simple beauty. It adds color, texture and dimension to your Christmas décor. I also love the sheer simplicity of the creating process. While I enjoy making crafts, I wouldn’t say I’m the best at them. That’s what’s so amazing about this project...most anyone can make it. One of my favorite quotes about creating says, “The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.” ~Dieter F. Uchtdorf I hope you enjoy creating this wreath for the beauty it will bring to your home and for the joy the creating process can bring you.
