TO MAKE THE YARN HOLDER:
Cut a round hole in the center of the lid of a large oatmeal canister. The hole should be large enough for the yarn to feed through.![Yarn Holder Tip]()
Decorate the outside of the container with scrapbook paper, fabric, heavy wrapping paper or contact paper.
Embellish it with beads, buttons, yarn photos, sequins, etc.
