Wrap Trees in Yarn for the Holidays

Dive into the art of yarn bombing — in your own front yard. You'll need: yarn by the skein; foam spheres (for ornaments); hot glue gun; hot glue sticks; 1-inch exterior nails; scissors.

Starting along the base of the tree, unfurl yarn from the skein, then tightly and evenly wrap it around the trunk and low-hanging branches. For proper coverage, allow each strand to overlap the other, ensuring no branch surface peeks through the yarn.

Once you reach the portion of the branch or trunk where you'd like the yarn to stop, cut it from the skein using scissors. Then, create a knot.

To ensure a uniform look, wrap each individual portion of the tree, from the bottom to the top, overlapping where each of the branches meet the trunk.
