These yarn trees are a perfect touch of warmth for your holiday decor. They are very simple, easy, and cheap to create. You can choose from a variety of yarn colors and just have fun with it! All supplies were purchased at a local Hobby Lobby.
What you’ll need:
Foam cone
Three colors of yarn (I chose a deep red, heather gray, and cream)
One sheet of tan felt (or your choice of color)
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Marker
Step 1: Trace your felt bottom for the bottom of the finished tree.
Step 2: Cut your felt bottom–be sure to stay inside of your marker lines so you don’t have any black edging.
Step 3: Cut about a foot of yarn for the top of your tree.
Step 4: For this specific layer–Start from the bottom and work upwards as you will need to stack the yarn on top to create a peak.
Step 5: When wrapping the yarn–hot glue only the ends. Wrap the yarn tightly and it will stay in place! Be sure to be random with the width of each color so that is doesn’t look so uniform.
Step 6: Hot glue the end of the yarn to the bottom of the cone as it will be covered with the felt.
Step 7: Hot glue the felt onto the bottom of the cone to give it a finished look.
Step 8: Depending on what type of yarn you use–you may need to clean up any shedding.
Step 9: Decorate and enjoy! Stay tuned for a stick tree DIY using small sticks from the backyard!

So lately I have been seeing these little rainbow peg people all over the place–so I decided to make my own. This “project” was suuuuper easy and took me maybe fifteen minutes to do. It’s an excellent way to teach your child colors, numbers, and the good ol’ “ROY G BIV” trick. We have recently decided to homeschool our children, so I’ve been making/collecting things to start our first school year next year! We really want our children to learn with objects, art, and the earth. We would like to instill self-sustainability in them and teach them through the montessori approach–not just sit in a classroom and stare at a blackboard. We are so excited to start this journey with them and are so thankful for how supportive our family and friends have been with our decision. A friend and I will be doing a “homeschool group” where we will have class with the kids together, go on field trips together, etcetera. If you are in the Fort Wayne area and would be interested in being a part of our homeschool group next year, please get a hold of me–we would love to have you! Later this week, I am going to make a memory game for them–check back in to see how it turns out.
Supplies:
7 Wooden Peg People
Acrylic Paint in the colors of your choosing
Non-fraying paint brushes (mine frayed and I had to keep trimming them–grr)
Where I got supplies:
Hobby Lobby
How much it cost me:
Around $9

My (Tarah) friend Nicole and I took our little ones to a nearby farm to go pumpkin picking–along with many other activities. It was rainy, foggy, and extremely muddy–but we seriously had the best time. If you are in the Decatur, Indiana area, please take some time to check out Steele Farms! We will be going back very soon (on a sunny day).
Thanks for the great fun!
(Maxx enjoying a nice dig–little stinker!)
(Poor Eila was walking around for a good thirty minutes with all of this corn in her boot–ha!)
I hope you all get to enjoy this awesome place soon with your littles!
We, somehow, got a Saturday off this month and decided to enjoy the Johnny Appleseed festival in our hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We make it a point to go every year, but it was nice to be able to enjoy it this year–and not be on a rushed schedule. This is our favorite festival in Fort Wayne–the sounds of banjos playing, the smell of caramel apples and root beer, children running around painted and dressed up like Native Americans–it is the most humbling and warm feeling in the world. We wish we could do this day again–over and over and over.
Here are some photos from our day with the kids at the festival:
I (Tarah) love listening to this kind of music!
“Daddy, I won!”
So then of course, Eila had to get in on the action and win a necklace.
She cracks me up with her questionable looks–sweetest little munchkin I know!
Eila, Maxx’s little cheerleader (:
We paid $1 for him to win a mint. Hm.
Through the maze they go–I can’t believe I didn’t grab a photo of the giant teepee they went through. Grr.
Eila saw the little girl behind her put her arms out to balance, so she had to try it out too. It is amazing to watch kids learn from one another.
Picking out satchels–that they bought to “collect rocks in”–ha.
I’m not sure why we did this to ourselves, but we did. Definitely regretting it now–but they’re happy (:
We found this amazing handcrafted cheese board for $12 at the festival–I didn’t photograph the back, but it has all of the information (when it was made, where it was made, etc.) carved on the back of the handle. I’m ordering a dough board and a custom music box (for when Eila graduates) from this guy too. Incredibly gorgeous and one of a kind!
Waiting in line for homemade root beer–Eila is so hungry she has resorted to eating her fingers!
Worth the wait!
Enjoying some yummy apple dumplings!
Visiting Uncle Jerod at Granite City for some late lunch. Yum.
Yep–that’s about right.
Thanks for peeking into our awesome day with the kids–see you next time!
We had a wonderful time going apple picking with our friends at Cook’s Orchard in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was pretty crazy keeping track of six kids, but we all handled it–and pounds and pounds of apples later, we have enough applesauce and apple pie to last throughout the apocalypse.
Here are some photos from this awesome day!
Thanks for looking–and be sure to go check out this awesome orchards. It’s and awesome activity for your little ones!
