Wiggle your piggies in the soft, green, baby grass. Ahhhhh. It's very relaxing. :-)
Today I'm going to show you how I made this cute wreath ~ and it is SO SIMPLE!!!! I have mine hanging in my kitchen and I love it. I stop and touch the soft 'grass' and think to myself Spring starts next weekend!!!
Let's get started! (I bought all the supplies at Joann Fabric & Crafts)
....You will need a foam wreath form (I used an 8" green foam wreath), yarn (I used one skein of Lion Brand Yarn Fun Fur in Lime Green, article #320-194), a daisy trim (I used Wright's trim, but you could use any you like), and long pearlized pink pins (1 1/2").
Start by wrapping the yarn around the wreath and tying a knot to secure the end. Then start wrapping...
...and wrapping.... I kept the strands very close together, pushing them closer if needed...just work at a table and pass the skein of yarn through the center of the wreath with each wrap around..... keep wrapping....
...and wrapping.... Look! We're growing baby grass!!!..... keep wrapping....
...we're getting there!.... keep wrapping... almost done......
....yea!!!!!! we have a baby grass wreath! So cute!
Now to add a few spring daisies sprouting up in the baby grass. Cut the daisy trim apart between the flowers.....
Push a pink pearlized pin through the center of the daisy.....
And insert the daisy pin into the foam wreath....
Grow as many daisies in your baby grass as you would like.....
It would look beautiful just sitting on a table as is.
I added a wide pink satin ribbon to mine to hang it, and then a cute little sign that says 'bare feet welcome'......
There you go ~ very simple to make and so darn cute! Enjoy your Spring baby grass wreath! :-)

I was really excited about doing this, and found most of the products needed. The problem I had was with the fun fur. I can't find the longer "lashes" one. The only one I found is quite short, and I'd need about 5 rolls, not 1 roll, to achieve the fullness depicted in the image above. I did, however, find the flowers at Walmart on a roll for $3.97, as well as the pins.

I found this by complete accident. I actually saw this wreath as a crafty idea download on a website that has now taken down the content (which is great because I was just about to contact them). They gave no credit to this website and they had even used your original photos. Regardless, they have already taken it down (on favecrafts.com) but I am so excited that I have found the original creator!! :D I made a version of this a few days ago and linked back to this from my blog: http://www.holycrapliz.com/2012/04/492012-22.html
I just loved the idea!!! :D

That's so cute! I love the use of that really cool yarn, but I would even consider using the tie-dye colored kind too! Thanks for the awesome share, and p.s.--this is an incredibly simple, but totally genius idea!

Beautiful wreath! I saw a picture of this on Pinterest and was inspired to make my own. I went a slightly different route and knitted some roses.
Here is my blog post on it;

Unique wreath. I love the idea of putting grass on it. It looked beautiful, especially with those little white/pink flowers.

Sooooo cute! You wouldn't happen to have a printable cut-out of the little flag, would you?

Hi Shelley,
Im glad you tried making a baby grass wreath. I had no trouble using the fun fur yarn - no knotting, shedding, etc...
Im not familiar with haute fur, in fact, I had to google it. It looks similar to the fun fur. So, I wouldnt think it would make that much of a difference using one or the other.
Enjoy your wreath!
