I needed a cute way to display my knitted hats at craft fairs, and wanted them to be at the customer's eye level rather than just laying on the table. I've seen various "yarn heads" stands and wanted to make my own.
To make this super simple I didn't want to have to cut the dowels or drill holes into wooden bases, so I found these wooden donut stands that worked perfectly. I also got three 6" foam balls to go on top, and I already had some white yarn.
I stuck each ball onto the stick, and applied a bit of hot glue to the top of the stick to secure it. Then I wrapped the ball in yarn until the whole thing measured about 21" around.
These look adorable with my hats on top!
They are a bit top-heavy since the bases don't weigh very much. At markets I plan to wrap a scarf around the bottom of each one which should keep them from tipping over. If not then I may hot glue them to a tile or heavier block of wood. If you have access to a drill then you could use these heavier bases instead.
