I decided to make a Fall Burlap Wreath and here's how:
Here is what you will need:
-Wreath Ring 18 inches
-8'' X 10 Y Burlap (I used a bigger roll than pictured and a ton left over at least enough for 2-3 more wreaths)
-Scissors
-Floral wire (This is optional, I had a difficult time with wire and ended up not using wire, but if you choose to do so you will also need wire cutters.)
-Glue Gun
-Glue Sticks
-Accessories to decorate: Flowers, Letters, Figurines...
Getting started with the burlap and wreath ring, I cut several strands of 12-15 inch burlap. I found it easier to work with small strands versus trying to work with a complete roll of burlap.
Next, I feel there is no correct way to fold in burlap into ring, its more about creativity. I tucked secured with hot glue, folded secured with glue. This part is about creating bigger loose folds. If you feel your burlap looks too loose in the end, or not full enough you can always go back tuck and hot glue a little more.
Now, I disconnected my flowers from the large stems, creating a flat surface. This part too is about being creative. Lay your flowers or figurines out on wreath, look at wreath from a few feet away, ask for a friends opinion. How does it look? You want your best burlap folds to be seen so don't hide with accessories, instead let this factor into you layout cover folds you like less. Try several different layouts.
Once your layout is decided secure large flowers to wreath with a liberal amount of hot glue.
TAda- easy peasy you have yourself a great looking wreath.
All accessories were purchased from my local thrift store totaling approximately $32. Shop Hobby Lobby, JoAnn, Michaels, Amazon.
I love feedback and will answer any questions you may have concerning DIY projects
