Yarn Tree DIY with Twinkle Lights
This is one of the easiest diy’s I have ever done and it’s so stinkin cute! I purchased some tree cones and creamy yarn. Make sure you have a glue gun or spray glue handy. I personally would use spray glue. To begin you spray the bottom section of your tree cone. Then with your yarn start wrapping.

While working in sections just spray the glue and warp your yarn. That’s it!! I know, so simple. If you want to add a final touch you can add a pretty star at the top or twinkle lights. If you know me, you know I added both. I don’t think I could live without twinkle lights. They just make any space so cozy and in spirit for the holidays. Check out another way you can create a fun look with diy yarn trees.
How to Keep Christmas Simple
To change it up you can create a fun colorful Christmas. You can do that by using different colored yarn and sparkling stars. I wanted to keep mine simple this time, so I could use these almost anywhere. I am all about keeping Christmas simple, I used to try to be superwoman but I just can’t do that anymore! Read all about how I like to keep Christmas easy and meaningful.
Lately I have been making lots of fun crafts. We created a very stunning mantel that even has pom poms! If you want more ideas for using pom poms for your Christmas decor, I also have a winter tablescape with pom poms and a beautiful bedroom with pom poms in a few easy steps.
We even made the trees with pom poms. This is a little more time consuming, as you have to glue on each pom pom. But they are oh so cute. Ok well I will admit the one on the left was my first try and it is a bit crusty, but still cute!

You come up with the neatest things. I will be going to the craft store to pick up the tree forms and yarn. I love them. Great job. Rhonda
Thx Linda! Have fun!!
I love these trees! They are so simple and elegant! Gonna be a must do on my list!!!
Thx! They are a lot of fun!
Rhonda, I have been started a tradition with my granddaughter over last several years to make something together. One year it was baking/decorating cookies. Another year we made garland that the wild birds could eat outside our homes. This years craft will be pinecone ornaments that her/I gathered from the woods. Great way to spend time with her and make memories! I love the yarn trees and may add that this year too!
That sounds like the perfect way to get ready for the holidays!
I used to make lots of crafts but now it seems that I’m either baking or making peanut brittle around the holidays! I love all of your ideas and I’m so happy about your renovation!
My favourite craft?? Buying other people’s crafts!!!
Hahah! Well that always work too!!
Love the sewing projects! I used to sew a lot more… before kids. Now I make homemade notecard sets, gift bags, and tags to give family for a little something homemade. Also this year we have cherry trees at our new house so thinking some homemade “boozy” cherry bourbon. 😁
Homemade gifts are the best!
Any yarn project is my favorite. Wrapping yarn around foam craft balls and hot gluing to a foam wreath.
Yarn projects are great! That sounds so fun
I can’t wait to try! Super cute!
Thx Shannon! They are so fun
I really enjoyed making a birdseed wreathe for the birds.
I enjoy baking at Christmas as well.
That sounds so fun Carol!
Love the yarn trees…never thought about white ones! I made three red ones in July to have for Christmas…early bird right?
My favorite Christmas craft has become collecting old ornaments and using them to make vintage wreaths! Love all your posts!!
Sandie those sound so pretty! I need to see those wreaths, they sound amazing!
I always love your DIYs. You are so inspiring! I love to see gifts at Christmas time and you are always so full of ideas and encouragement!
I meant I love to sew gifts lol
My favorite Christmas craft is updating last years wreaths and giving them a whole new look and making garland and greenery from clippings and twigs I find in my yard.
That sounds so pretty Judy!
Love, love the yarn trees with lights. A fun craft get together for friends or for kids! Thanks for the inspo, Rhonda!
Yes the kids love creating them!
Love your accts.! So much inspiration and if staging is a craft that is what I Do for a craft.😊 love my vignettes I create and always have tiny fairy lights to enhance the vignettes!
Thank you for sharing so much of your daily life with, it is filled with inspiration
That is definitely a craft and a hard one at that! Sounds so beautiful!
Oh yes!! I purchased some gorgeous little twinkle lights on a thin wire, not sure what I was going to use them for, and along you come with this great idea! Thanks. My fav think to make is to wrap old hardback books from the thrift store, the old readers digest ones look great, with gorgeous robotics and add a Christmas pick to the bow. Look fab
Sounds so pretty! twinkle lights are the best!
I really love how you engage all your followers, and share not just your crafts but your life. Like the wedding of your son, the remolding of your home, the journey of the cute black dog. ( sorry could not remember is name) that’s what I love about your blogs! Blessings Teresa
Thx Teresa! That truly means a lot
So stunning Rhonda!! Gonna go thru my yarn stash ASAP! My favorite holiday craft… Uhhh me and my ADD = never doing the same thing very long. But I constantly knit and make caramels.
Oh! But this! I set up a little Christmas village on a table in my living/dining room in a table for my girls TO PLAY WITH. Yep. Ceramic pieces and all. Broken ones get pitched and they’re fun (and don’t break the bank) to collect the following year to switch it up a bit.
Same Adrianne! I am always onto the next thing! That sounds like so much fun!
Pick oranges from our tree, dry them in the oven and use them around the house. I like to put some in a bowl with whole cloves, or greenery.
Sounds so pretty for the holidays
Love your trees! We like to fill mason jars with fresh rosemary , fresh cranberries, and orange slices in layers , add water and a votive candle and place them all over the house!
That sounds so amazing! perfect for the holiday!
Our favorite thing to make is a ginger bread house and decorate cookies
Sounds like so much fun!
This is stunning! Thank you for sharing, all of your projects are so beautiful! Is this part of the kitchen remodel? The cabinets, the backsplash, Wow!
Happy holidays to you & your family.
I love to craft by crocheting. It is one of the old fashion crafts that I hope will stay in fashion and home decor. Your blog is beautiful Rhonda. I love your IG page too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Thx Lisa! Crocheting is so fun! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love all these photos, they really put me in the Christmas mood! I haven’t decorated yet, not until after thanksgiving… my favorite Christmas craft has got to be making paper snowflakes w my kids. There’s just something magical seeing them cut into a piece of paper turning it into a beautiful snowflake. Then we string them and hang them all over the ceiling of the house.
Paper snowflakes are so much fun! So beautiful for winter time.
I love how beautiful everything you touch is… weather it’s perfectly beautiful or beautifully imperfect….
Your always simply Rhonda no acting here. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Linda that means a lot!!
