I’m a big fan of easy crafts, especially if they involve yarn or beads! In the past I’ve made these yarn wrapped hearts and these pipe cleaner bracelets with my kids. Since Christmas is fast approaching I wanted to make some fun yarn wrapped Christmas tree ornaments. I wish I had more colorful yarn but these turned out great!

How to Make Yarn wrapped Christmas Tree Ornaments

Start by cutting out a tree shape out of your cardboard. Also cut a piece of yarn that will be used to hang your ornament.

Fold the yarn and hot glue in place, this will be the hook for the ornament. You can also use tape since it will be covered by the yarn.

Add hot glue to the bottom of the cardboard and wrap yarn to form the Christmas tree trunk.

Next, starting at the top add more hot glue and attach your yarn. I find that thicker or fluffier yarn works best because it covers up the cardboard better. Continue wrapping around the cardboard.

Add a bit of hot glue throughout to hold the yarn in place. Continue wrapping until you’ve reached the bottom and then glue the last piece into place.

Next, attach beads or buttons to the Christmas tree ornaments.

Then you just have to hang them on your Christmas tree or anywhere else you need some decorations.

And if you’d like to make this craft with your kids, simple sub out the hot glue and use tape. The back might not look at great with tape sticking on it but the front is still adorable!
