Gather your supplies and materials to make the wreath.
You'll also need to gather all the colours of yarn you want to use.We made our wreath with bright shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Step 2: Prepare the wreath form and yarn
Grab a piece of cardboard from your recycling. Trace an 8 inch plate or bowl onto the cardboard.Then place a smaller bowl inside this circle (ours was 1-1/4 inches smaller), lining it up so there's an even amount of space around it. Trace the bowl.
Cut out the wreath form.You can use scissors to do this, or place the cardboard on a cutting mat and use a craft knife.
Cut your yarn into 16 inch long pieces, and create bundles of 8 strands for each of your colours.You'll need multiple bundles of each colour -- we used 7 bundles of each of our 6 colours (42 bundles total).
Step 3: Add the first yarn bundle to the wreath
Choose your starting colour (we used red) and fold the bundle in half. (Remember, each bundle should have 8 pieces of 16 inch long yarn).
Place the yarn under your cardboard wreath form with the loop pointing out.
Bring the yarn ends over top of the cardboard form and through the loop.
Arrange the yarn so it looks neat and then pull to tighten the knot around the wreath.
Step 4: Repeat, adding the rest of the yarn
Add the next colour in your pattern (orange) beside the first. Push them together so there's no gaps between the colours.Add the second bundle to the right of the last for a counter-clockwise pattern, or to the left for clockwise.
Repeat with the rest of your colours (yellow, green, blue, purple) and then start the pattern over again.
Repeat, tying on tassel bundles until your wreath is full.
Step 5: Trim the tassels and add a hanger
Trim the ends of the bundles to be even. Our tassels are about 4-1/2 inches total (2-1/2 inches from the knot).
Cut a 30 inch piece of yarn, fold it in half, and tie the ends into a knot.
Make room between two of the tassels (one of them matching the hanger colour).Place the tied yarn under the wreath with the loop towards the inside.
Bring the loop over the wreath. Open the yarn below the knot and push the loop through the strands.
Pull the loop up until the hanger is tightened around the wreath.
