Burlap Wreath

So here it is!  I really liked making this one...  Dealing with the burlap is messy, but worth it!

First you need your materials:

  • Scissors
  • Burlap (any colors you like)  I got a yard of each but used maybe half of it..  I found the fabric at hobby lobby and you will have extra so you can make one for a friend, or just get less....)  I also got 3 colors but decided to only use 2
  • Wreath base (I got one for $1, but you can pretty much use anything round)
  • Hot glue if you are planning to add any embellishments (I added my flower and ribbon)
  • Ribbon, or anything else you want to add!
So now the fun part!  You will need to cut strips of the fabric.  About 1 inch wide or so and about 16 inches long.  Beware, this will get messy..  Put on your apron so you don't get it all over you...

Now, you just tie single or double knots all around your wreath  base with the fabric strips in any order you want.  Finish it up by fluffing it and adding whatever you would like to it!  Pretty simple huh...  Enjoy and good crafting!!
Here is mine!!
