A really pretty cornflower blue, it matches my Kitchen Aid mixer perfectly! Anyway, I will no longer be collecting and stocking vintage Aunt Lydia’s rug yarn, so get it before it’s gone. UPDATE: This yarn is sold. Thank you!

Craft Tutorial – Rug Yarn Tree Ornaments
These darling little trees are very easy to make & are made very quickly with precut rug yarn.
Materials:
- Pre Cut Rug Yarn
- Wire
- Corrugated Cardboard
- Glue
Instructions:
- Fold a length of wire in half. I am using 20 gauge, 18” wire. Pipe cleaners also work well for this. Lay your precut yarn inside the folded wire, doing your best to center the strips. I am using a packet of Chartreuse Caron Rug Yarn.
- Pinch the wire together at the fold & leave a small loop so you can insert wire or thread later for hanging. At the other end, twist the 2 ends of wire together.
- Hold the top of tree in one hand & the bottom in the other. Now twist!
- Now it’s time to make your trunk. Roll the cardboard into a tube leaving a hole large enough for the wire to slip into. Secure with glue (hot glue works best here).
- Put some glue inside your tube.
- Slide tube over wire.
Just add some pretty string & hang!
