Creating A Baseball Themed Room

My son has a passion for two things...Sock Monkeys and Baseball.

He has a large collection of Sock Monkeys (but that is for another post)...and he's recently started playing baseball. When it came time to buy new bedding...he was torn on which direction to go.

We ended up finding a baseball/sport themed bedding set at Target, which he loved, so we decided to use baseball as the predominent theme. On one wall he wanted to hang his baseball posters (which he and his sister and drawn one late night) and the other he wanted to hang a shelf where he could display his Sock Monkeys.

We both loved the way it turned out.

Fall Yarn Wreath Tutorial

I've seen these yarn wreaths on various blogs and even in a magazine recently...unfortunately I can't remember where they were. I made this wreath in September after I found this gorgeous fall colored yarn. I've had it hanging on my front door since...I love seeing it everytime I come home.

What you'll need:

• Yarn
• Wreath (you can get all different types and sizes at any craft store...I got mine at Michael's)
• Hot glue gun
• Silk flowers, plastic berries, etc (anything you'd like to add to the wreath)

Step 1~ Wrap the yarn tightly and very close together. This is something you can do while watching TV or talking with your hubby or kiddos. It's time consuming and if you let go the yarn can loosen. Best to do it in one sitting.

Step 2~ Once you've covered entire wreath...cut yarn so the end stops at the "back" of the wreath. Apply a generous drop of glue and press the end of the yarn into place.

Step 3~ Glue on your decorations. I chose to keep it super simple and add only a silk flower and leaves. But you are only limited by your imagination on this one...go for it and have fun!
