These sweet yarn ornaments come together in no time!! Enlist the kids help making the yarn loops but assist them with any steps that require a glue-gun.


Make Loops

Holding your hand flat, wrap green yarn around four of your fingers 15 times. Slip the loops off your fingers and use a piece of yarn to tie the loops together. Repeat, wrapping the yarn around three fingers and then around two fingers, so that you have a total of three loops of yarn.

Stacking Cut Loops

Lay the largest group of yarn flat on a work surface. Place the middle-size grouping on top of it, going the opposite direction, and glue it in place.
