Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Fall Day!!
Just the other day I saw an idea on how to make a very easy burlap wreath. So I went out and bought some burlap, came home and made one of my very own! It was so easy to make and it came out awesome! So today I am going to let you in on how you can make your own!
This is a perfect Fall craft! (Which is why I am thinking of making a few of these for craft shows I have coming up!)
- Burlap Ribbon: For a standard wire hanger I used, 10yrds/30en wire.ft and it was plenty. It was 5 to 6 inches wide. If you are making a large wreath you will need more.
- Wire Hanger: If you don't have one dry cleaners might sell you some for cheap.
- Embelishments: Depending on the holiday or season you decorating for you can use anything you like!
Step 1. Depending on the type of hanger you have, unscrew the top hook and if your hanger has a cardboard bar, remove that as well to reveal an open wire.
Step 2. With the burlap ribbon, I struck the hanger through a hole in the corner of the ribbon then went about 3-5 inches (the bigger the gap the fluffier it will be.) and stuck the hanger through a hole on the opposite side of the ribbon.
Another 4 inches and placed the hanger through another hole on the opposite side etc, etc, etc. So you are zig zagging through the ribbon about every 3-5 inches. The shorter the distance in between where you place the hanger the tighter the wreath and the longer the distance, the fuller it is.
So to make it a little more clear, you are putting the hanger through the ribbon then crossing over and putting it through again Yo side you came out onu will go through the SAME side you came out on. There is No Twisting!
The roll of burlap I used was 10 yards and this was perfect for the size I wanted. When I was done with the roll, I simply just folded the corner into the wreath.
Now is where you can get creative. I have seen so many neat embelishments to adorn a wreath. And sky is the limit when it comes to decorating your own!
I hope you like this craft idea!
So what do you think? Leave me a comment below with your thoughts and I would love to see your recreations if you decide to make one of these beautiful wreaths!!
Take Care!
