SUPPLIES
RED HEART® Bulky Weight Yarn: RED
HEART® “Baby Clouds™”, Art. E710 (6 ounce solid/4.5
ounce multi-color skeins): 15 Ounces No. 9351 Tutti-Frutti.
Wire coat hanger; cardboard; scissors;
purchased decorations; large ribbon bow; fine wire for
securing bow or decorations; hot glue gun and glue sticks
for gluing decorations.
Shape wire hanger into an oval, then bend hook for the
hanging loop.
Yarn Bundle (Make approximately 70):
Wind yarn 20 times around a 4" piece of cardboard. Slip
these strands off the cardboard. Then, with a separate 8"
strand of yarn, tie strands together at center (see Figure
1); do not cut yarn loops.
| Using the ends of the 8" strand, tie
the bundle to the ring, positioning the bundle
perpendicular to the wire (see Figure 2). If
necessary, trim ends of 8" strand. Make another
bundle and tie to the ring adjacent to the previous
bundle. Continue to make bundles and tie them to the
wire in the same way, positioning each bundle against
the previous bundle and working around the ring until
the entire wire ring is filled.
Wind yarn or fine wire around sections that can be
hidden of the bow or other decorations and tie (twist
wire) around wire ring base. Glue smaller decorations
in place. |
