| Make your house decorations personalized, using colourful yarn craft. |
House can never be a home without personalized decorations. One of the simplest and yet most effective ways to add this cozy touch to every corner of your home is to make beautiful yarn-wrapped letters. All you’ll need for this project is to get a couple of block letters, colorful yarn, glue and scissors. The best technique for crafting flawless letters is to focus on the most difficult areas and start wrapping the letters horizontally. You can combine different colors for each letter or simply use a single color for all of them, depending on the effect you’re trying to achieve. Most importantly, yarn-covered letters are a perfect accessory for any room, from a hallway to the nursery.
Unleash Your Creativity with DIY Yarn-Wrapped Canvas
Yarn-wrapped canvas is an ideal choice for those craftsy souls who have always longed for giving their home a boost with a true piece of art. With its sophisticated look, this wall art can serve as a magnificent decorative element in your living room. Remember, always go for personalized patterns, multiple colors and designs you like the most. Additionally, in order to achieve the cohesive appeal, take some time and knit some colorful bed runners and cushion covers in the same colors.

interesting and unique is personalizing your wall decor items. |
Spruce up Your Living Room with Personalized Accessories
In order to make your home perfectly organized, you will need a lot of storage. Unfortunately, due to their plain design and generic colors, such details usually suppress the creativity of your interior. Luckily, with the proper use of yarn, personalizing these items is a piece of cake. For this project, you will need to get some yarn bowls, old tins, yarn and a pair of quality needles. However, if you are a rookie knitter, you could do this in a simpler way. Get some yarn, glue and scissors and simply wrap a tin tightly from the bottom with the yarn. Similarly to this, you can revamp other items, such as wine bottles, lamps or vases that have lost their charm over time.
Design Your Own Yarn Lighting Sphere
Believe it or not, making your own lighting sphere by using yarn is not only possible, but also pretty simple. For this exquisite project, you will need a medium-sized punch ball or a balloon, cotton yarn, cornstarch, bristle brush, glue, adhesive and spray paint. Even if you want your yarn to have this chic, chaotic look, while making this, you need to be pretty careful and organized.

First, you need to coat the yarn in the mixture of glue, water and cornstarch. Then simply begin wrapping the yarn around the ball or a balloon in a random pattern you like the most. Once your masterpiece has dried, cut the hole at the bottom, poke some holes in the ball and slowly remove it. Finally, add a coat of spray paint and the party may begin.
All in all, any of these breath-taking ideas will help you welcome spring in a cozy, joyous and colorful atmosphere. Most importantly, you don’t have to be an experienced knitter in order to make this true. Just a little of yarn, glue, glitter and imagination and all your decorations will be as good as new!
