This fall wreath is made from pool noodles – wrapped with yarn and burlap. This pool noodle wreath is super budget friendly and very simple to make!

Have any of you ever done a yarn-wrapped wreath before? I had been admiring them for years, and finally decided to do one this year. Scratch that – I was going to do TWO yarn-wrapped wreaths. It wasn’t HARD to wrap, it was actually pretty simple! But after wrapping one, I realized I just didn’t have enough patience to do two.
So I ended up just wrapping the inside wreath in yarn, and wrapping the outside wreath with strips of burlap. MUCH easier!
I used a pool noodle trick – I bought 2 pool noodles from the dollar store and just cut one down a little bit. Then I duct-taped the ends together to make a circle. If it’s summer – you can find pool noodles almost anywhere! But if it’s not – thank goodness for Amazon, right?
Here’s what you’ll need for this project:
- Pool noodles
- Yarn (the thicker the better!)
- Duct tape
- Hot glue gun
- Fall “sprigs” (found at any craft store)

Join the ends of your pool noodle and wrap with duct tape to secure. Cut a few inches off of one if you want to make a double wreath.
Then just hot glue & wrap – over and over and over again!
Once I got both wreaths wrapped, I simply stuck and hot glued some fall “bits” I got at JoAnn’s last year on super clearance. I love that they can be shoved in between the cracks of the two wreaths – it makes the whole process even easier!
I hung it up by a strip of burlap, and stood back to admire! I love how thick and big it is!

Have YOU ever tried to wrap a yarn wreath? Does anyone else have issues with tedious crafting like me?

That is really a great end result! Love it. I can totally see how that would take a lot of patience to do though – I’m not sure I would attempt even one! Good for you getting it done – I really like the two textures, the yarn and the burlap.

What a cute idea to do a double wreath! I wrapped a wreath in yarn and it was so exhausting I never ended up embelishing it 🙂
Lauren says
This is my favorite of all the fall wreaths I’ve seen this year! LOVE the double size! I’ve yet to try wrapping with yarn, but I love the look, so just might have to go for it!

Love your wreath! I’ve been wanting to create a yarn wrapped wreath and at least now I’ll know to muster up all my patience and hot glue. 😉 All your time and energy into making this really paid off! It’s so pretty!

I did a Halloween yarn wrapped wreath, I LOVE the look, but the time it took was insane. Your wreath looks amazing. I think I may do a Fall wreath with this technique, great job!

I second that emotion. Those yarn wreaths are adorable, but the wrapping is for the birds. I get so impatient!!!
Jen says

DOUBLE WREATH?!! Genious! I love the look of this, it is so original!
The contrasting colours of yarn are perfect for fall.
Maybe i will have to try this with red and green for Christmas! Thanks for sharing on the shabby nest link party. Come visit sometime if you would like to. 🙂

I love the concept of a double wreath and actually like the look of the burlap better than the yarn. This is a good thing for me because I simply don’t have the patience for wrapping the yarn. I will be making this one! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
