How to Make a Grass Centerpiece Using Yarn

DIY YARN GRASS CENTERPIECE SUPPLIES– full printable supplies list and instructions below on how to card the yarn grass centerpiece

• Green yarn (pick a shade that matches the type of grass you’re going for—light green for spring, deep green for summer)
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun (optional, for securing the yarn to a base)
• 6-inch cardboard scrap (for cutting even lengths)
• Container for the “grass” (mine is 4 feet long)

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR MAKING YARN GRASS

NOTE: IF YOU GET STUCK ON THE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE REFER TO THE ABOVE PICTURES

1. Choose Your Yarn Wisely: Start with a yarn with some texture or fluff. Acrylic or wool yarns in medium to bulky weights tend to work best. Avoid anything too shiny or thin unless you’re going for a specific aesthetic.
2. Cut the Yarn Into Strands: Wrap the yarn around a piece of cardboard (about 6 inches wide) 75 times. Then cut along one edge to get even strands. The length of these strands will be the “height” of your grass, so adjust accordingly.
3. Tie the Strands Together: Lay the yarn bundle stretched out over the center of a 29-inch piece of yarn. Tie the strand around the bundle of yarn, pull tight, and make a knot. Pull the yarn together, leaving the long pieces at the opposite end. Wrap one piece of the long yarn around the base of the yarn bundle going in one direction, and then wrap the other piece of long yarn around the base going the opposite direction. The two ends come together in a knot. The number of bundles depends on how large the container you’re using is. I used a 4-foot container, so I had to make A LOT of bundles.
4. Create Your Grass Bed: Because my container was so long, I measured out my rows of grass and marked the rows on my container. The container’s wood construction helped with the marking. The grass covered the markings. Work in rows for a full, plush look. Since the yarn is long, there is no need to change the placement of the yarn bundles (for example, alternating the direction or tilting the yarn bundle). I glued my bindles in straight rows, which allowed enough room for me to insert floral foam between the rows of grass.
5. Style Your Centerpiece: Now for the fun part! Nestle eggs, flowers, candles, or small figurines into your yarn grass. You can even mix in real greenery or faux florals for added texture and variety.

Bonus Tip

Mix multiple shades of green yarn for a more natural look. I used three shades of green yarn to make this spring-inspired centerpiece.

How to Store The Grass Centerpiece

Store your grass centerpiece on a flat surface. If it is small enough, cover it to keep out dust. HOW TO COVER YOUR CENTERPIECE: Wrap plastic wrap around it. Since my centerpiece is 4 feet long, I store it under my bed.
