DIY Yarn Wreath

I made my first ever yarn wreath and I LOVE it!! 
I'm obsessed with making them!
It was quite the ordeal but I made it in just a couple of hours (with some help) and it was really fun. My kind of  craft. I still haven't put it up in my apartment yet. I'm not sure where to put it but I did name it! Or rather, Neil, knowing my obsession for naming all thing inanimate, picked a name that I just LOVE.

*I made flowers out of felt. I had 3 different colors of purple and then I made a couple of little white flowers. In all honesty I didn't know how to do any of this so I just found blogs with felt flower tutorials and then played around with what I found. They aren't perfect but I love them. LOVE them!
Then I wrapped the foam wreath with the purple yarn. (Clearly it was purple but I love purple so much that I have to say it just in case, at any moment, you might forget!)
After I wrapped the yarn and hot glued it down, I played around with the placement of the flowers. I also added some flowers for some elegance. 
TADA!!!
 Everyone, I would like to introduce you to Sophie. My yarn wreath.
