Easy Yarn Flowers

Yarn flowers and cattails require one 70 yard skein of Heavy Rug Yarn in pink, light rose, green and brown.
One skein makes approximately three flowers
You will also need medium florists wire and glue

Peonies:
Open darker shade of pink, cut through yarn at one end.
Lay yarn out flat on work area and cut into 5-1/2 inch lengths
Do same for lighter shade of yarn, only cut into 3-1/2 inch lengths
Take 1 section of darker shade for bottom of flower
Place 2 sections of lighter shade in center of darker shade
Fold a piece of wire in half (make wire long enough to allow for stem after twisting to make flower)
Place in center of cut sections of yarn and twist wire together tightly
To make flower fluffy, unwind or untwist each strand of yarn
Shake and trim flowers

Stems:
Glue one end of green yarn directly to wire underneath flower
Twist and wrap to end of wire until covered
Glue end


Cattails:
Open brown skein and cut in half, set aside two strands cut into 8 inch lengths
Cut remainder of skein into 1-1/2 inch sections (8 to 10 sections for each cattail)
Fold wire in half, take one 8 inch length and wind on each side of fold for an inch
Tie ends together 1 inch from top
Take one section of 1-1/2 inch strands, place between wires, twist wires tightly together
Repeat this last step until cattail is length desired (around 5-1/2 to 6 inches)
Trim
Cover stem in same way as for Peony
