ANTHROPOLOGIE INSPIRED TUFTED WOOL WREATH DIY
Do you ever see something and can’t get it out of your mind? Something that speaks to you and begs you to take it home? I saw an Anthropologie tufted wool wreath last year and it was love at first sight… but it was love with a price! A bit over $100.00 price. So, I decided to make my own “tufted” (pom-pom) wreath. The wreath is fuzzy and warm and tufted and lumpy and looks like a sheep… a perfect wreath for wintry weather! This wreath was sooooo easy to make and really fun. Even if you are not a crafter, this is a DIY for you…
ANTHROPOLOGIE INSPIRED TUFTED WOOL WREATH DIY
- 2 skeins Red Heart Light And Lofty Yarn in Cafe’ Au Lait or any fuzzy wool (this yarn is no longer available, but any fluffy yarn)
- Clover Pom Pom Maker (click HERE for source)
- 1 straw wreath, leave the plastic wrapping on
- hot glue
1 and 2. Make pom pom’s using two skeins of yarn. I make the pom-poms using a Pom-Pom Maker. You can find them HERE. 3. Trim any straggly ends off the pom-poms and put wreath and pom poms on a covered work surface
4. Glue pom-pom’s in a close but random pattern, covering the wreath.
5. Add an extra pom-pom here and there to make the surface of the wreath lumpy.
6. Pull on the yarn so it gets fuzzy and fluffy.
That’s it! I told you it was EASY!
Hang and enjoy!

This is adorable…what a great idea! If you don’t mind sharing cost, I’d be interested to know. Love your blog…

Including the pom-pom maker… about $17.00. Without the pom-pom maker..about $9.00
How cute and SIMPLE!!! Now I know what you were doing while you were stuck in bed all that time:):) XO
Very cute… and seemingly simple as well. Luv your pricing much better 🙂
Hugs, Gee

Which size Clover Pom-Pom Maker did you use, Yvonne?
Pat
PersonallyByPat.com
Great question, Pat. I used the small pom-pom maker.
The smaller of the blue and lime green pair? I guess that’s the pair called “large” size by Clover.

Just to confirm… you DID use the LARGE pair that are colored blue and lime green. Right?
I have seen these and love them…I used to make pom poms a lot when I was a kid…this is such a great project to do with my granddaughter!!
Hit the publish too soon!….It is gorgeous Yvonne and love it on that gorgeous shutter..Have a great weekend!
Its beautiful and I love the way it looks on the aged shutter! I have been wanting to make one of these since last winter too!
That is really cute… perfect for winter!
I love this and haven’t made pom poms since roller skating days in my youth! What size wreath did you use?
Can’t wait to get started on this project. Thanks so much for featuring this item and tutorial.

So sweeeeeet, you knocked it out of the park, lady! Love it.
How many inches long are the pom-poms? Thank you.
I cannot pin items? When I click on “pin” it says it is not available? Love the project and can always go to your blog…just wonder why I cannot pin anything??!
Thanks for the lovely how to!!
Not sure why you can’t pin. Did you try the “Pin It” button at the bottom of the page?
LOVE IT!! You did a great job….now I want to run over to Joanne’s and make one. Thanks for sharing this one!
How lovely…I never knew there was an actual devise for making pom-poms. This idea would also make a nice throw pillow…just attach them down with needle and thread! Thanks for sharing!

Just bought my first pom-pom maker (Extra Large) and made a green one out of old yarn. Turned out cute and looks like a “moss ball”!. Fun to make and you can just toss them anywhere around the house. They make nice cat toys too. 🙂 Thanks Yvonne for turning me on to pom-poms!
Judy
~Yvonne~
you made that ??!!! It is so neat ! Almost reminds me cotton in a cotton field .(hehe I guess yarn is cotton) love it on the shutter, is that in your kitchen? looks very nice.
Paula
IN.
Cute! Pinning – thanks.
Love it Yvonne! I haven’t seen the one at Anthro, but I am positive yours looks even more beautiful! Hope you are doing well.
Your wreath looks so soft and cozy. I think it would be a great stress reliever. if you “petted” is several times a day. 🙂 Not that you need to be relieved of stress. LOL It was just a thought.
You are so danged clever. What an awesome crafty project you have created – thanks so much for the inspiration!!
I love it – it’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Looks so soft. Nice wreath for Spring and for Easter.
So WARM and COZY! I LOVE IT! A couple questions:
What size wreath did you use?
What store do you buy the yarn at?
So pretty!! Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,
Jody
Love this so much! You make the BEST wreaths ever!!! xoxo
So Cute!! You are so talented : )
Love this – if I make it, I will have to keep an eye on my kitty cat, Cassie Mae, because she will end up trying to figure out o way to climb up and squeeze her fat butt into it while its on the wall !!!
stunning! love this!

I love your version- I’d be the dummy that paid full price for the Antro wreath. I rarely do that, but when I saw it I just had to have it! I’d love to make a pompom wreath soon. It looks so fun.
Hi Tina, I think that the wreath I made was 14 inches! It really does not matter the size, you just make it the size you want it!
What size straw wreath did you use? Thanks!
Oh Yvonne, this wreath is absolutely adorable! I’m going to have to make one. I haven’t made pom pom’s in years. I just started crocheting again which I hadn’t done in years either. Enjoy your day, Gail
Love this wreath and have just finished one. I love the way it turned out, but how did you hang it?
Hi Pat, I have a hook on the door. It’s been there for over a decade. You can buy a big suction cup that can hold a wreath.
Just read this post, what a cool looking wreath.. The wreath looks soft and cosy . Thanks for the how to,s may be one of my next projects.
Be blessed
Pam
This is definately on my list to do! this looks so warm and cozy and perfect for winter months!!!
Everyone is sold out of that color yarn! ? I’ll be looking for a substitute. Beautiful wreath!❤️
Love this wreath too!
Thanks for the instructions and pictures. My DIY list keeps getiing longer and longer. I love it!
Such a precious wreath! Thank you for the instructions.
O.M.G. this is so cute never seen one like this before .Thank you for sharing
Wreath is extra adorable! I love the textured appearance and neutral look! I will be making one for our great room where the seasonal theme is “Winter Sheep”. Thank you for the tutorial!!
Pom-poms are very trendy right now, so you are on top of your game, Yvonne. Pom-poms are appearing on throws, pillows, window treatments and even clothing. The wreath made with the balls of yarn appears to be quite simple to make…Just my speed!!!
I have a fun pom pom throw coming soon.
I wondering what size pom pom maker you used for this wreath? I went to the site and there were several from which to choose. Thanks in advance for your reply!
I used a medium size pom pom maker. But it really depends on how big your wreath is.
This blog came at a great time! I’ve been racking my brain as to what to put on our front door after taking our Christmas wreath down. I made a white pom-pom wreath a couple of years ago and I hang it on a large mirror in our living room with a red ribbon at Christmas. I knew I didn’t want to put it on our front door, but I’m loving the fuzzy Café Au Lait color. I already have the pom-pom maker, so all I need to do is order the yarn. I think I’ll have one on the front door very soon!! Thank you for this great idea.
I can’t find anyone who has this yarn for sell. Any ideas?
Try the Lion Brand Homespun Thick and Quick Yarn. The yarn colors of Dove and Pearls are close to what Yvonne shows. I have found this yarn at JoAnn’s, Michaels, A.C. Moore, and Hobby Lobby. Get it while it is on sale! Hope this helps!
Thanks for helping us
I agree….my research is that the Lion Thick and Quick would be the closest substitute. The Dove color is not going to give the more speckled or tonal effect that is in the Anthropologie version and in Yvonne’s version but it would be more ‘uniform’ winter white shade and would be pretty if that is the look you want. The Pearls shade will likely give the tonal effect I am looking for so I have ordered that one. Looking forward to making it! I am also going to make a Valentine one using a heart wreath form and the Thick and Quick in Claret. I think it will look nice on my black front door.
Wow! Great info Debra! Thanks so much! CLARET would be gorgeous!
My sister is in town for a few days we may have to have a craft day and make a couple of these! I was looking at my wreaths and didn’t want to hang any of them this January! Thank you for the inspiration!
Yvonne, I just love your site! This wool wreath lured me in. I am drawn to wool like a magnet. This wreath is a must pin for a future project. I will be back for many visits. Thanks for the Sunday Scripture posts, too. You are a true encouragement to me 🙂
I LOVE my pinners!!!! It really helps to get the StoneGable word out.
Love the Pom Pom wreath! An easy one to make and to store over the warmer months. It should fluff up easily when winter winds blow! Thanks for sharing!
OMG! That woolly pompom wreath is the cutest thing ever !!
I need to figure out to repel the little flying peeping creatures that like to nest in any wreath I put on my front door first!! It’d be so nasty once they found an already comfy nest!
Yvonne, I love the tufted wool wreath. I want to make one. I saw that there are four different size pom-poms in the pom-pom maker package. Which size did you use? I want mine to look just like yours. Thank you for always sharing such beautiful inspiration ideas with us. I LOVE your blog and your decorating style.
I used one of the middle sized pom pom makers. It’s been a few years so I can’t remember which of the middle sized one I used. Sorry!
I’m going to give this a try. Thanks for a great idea.
Gorgeous!
I love this wreath but I can’t find the Red Heart Light & Lofty yarn. Can you suggest a substitute?
See Debra’s comment. Great info!
How many oz was each skein of yarn? Thank you for great wreath idea!
Gosh, I don’t know. I just bought a regular looking size of skein. Sorry!
Hi- I made one of these fuzzy pom pom wreaths last weekend- easy and fun! I used the wreath on my fireplace mantel as the “O” in the word JOY. I love it!
Oh, how lovely! Thanks for letting me know you made the wreath. It’s one of my favorites!
