Many many moons ago, before I even knew how to use a crochet hook, I loved creating DIY craft projects. Yarn trees, in particular, were one of my favorite creations. I remember being in the yarn aisle, staring at all the colorful fibers, excited to gather my yarning supplies in preparation for the project. Now that it’s been some time since I last thought about yarn trees, I thought I’d bring my favorite DIY project back with a few new looks.
No special yarning skills needed with these stunning yarn trees. Choose your favorite look: hygge, faux fur, or classic red and white… or make all three!

Holiday Yarn Trees Step-By-Step Directions
Step 1 – Collect a few supplies.
Step 2 – Optional adornments.
Step 3 – Starting at the bottom of the cone, apply fabric glue (all steps apply for any type of yarn used).
Step 4 – Begin to wrap the yarn around the cone, using a straight pin to keep it in place.
Step 5 – Keep adding glue and yarn as you go.
Step 6 – Keep wrapping until you reach the top. Add more glue to the top of the cone.
Step 7 – Finish off the top by wrapping the yarn into a spiral. Use your straight pin to help with the yarn if needed.
Step 8 – Add a star on top with fabric glue, leave it to dry (if you’d prefer, use a glue gun to attach the star).
Step 9 – Enjoy your handiwork! Display it, gift it, enjoy it!
