I know Valentine’s Day has passed, but I kind of like hearts. And I LOVE yarn. My scrap jar is one of my favorite sources of craft supplies. This project is so easy, I didn’t take any step-by-step photos.
You start with a wire hanger (mine is coated in white plastic*), shape it into a heart, or circle, or whatever shape you want, untwist the top, thread your balls of yarn scraps around the whole thing, then re-twist the top. Done. No glue means you can re-use the yarn if you find yourself on the path of, say, a granny square afghan.
*My plastic-coated hanger kept its original twist while I threaded, so re-twisting was a cinch.

Oh, this is so cute! Once I have my knitting studio all set up, I think I’ll have to make something like this! I also just got a couple pom pom makers, so maybe a pom pom wreath to put on another wall would be a good idea :)
