I made this burlap wreath a week ago and ended up giving it to my boyfriend's mother for her birthday. He kept telling me how much she would like it, so finally in the spirit of giving I wrapped it up. We saw her at Thanksgiving and she absolutely loved it! I will have to make another one for myself someday soon.
What you need to make a Burlap Holiday Wreath:
*A Foam Ring (or you can use foam tubing from the hardware store, just tape it in the middle!)
*Burlap (in a strip or a sheet)
*Twine
*Pins
*A Large Bow or Flower
I was able to find all my materials at Michaels, or also Joann's Fabric is great too.
Basically I just pinned the end of the fabric strip underneath, and started wrapping it around clockwise and pinning it as I went. I had to fluff it up and pin it in several spots to give the burlap some oomph. Of course there are several different ways you could pin the burlap to the ring, be creative! Then I used a large fake poinsetta flower, that had a little clip on the back and just clipped it right on. Or you could tie or pin a large bow. The nice thing is that you could really use this wreath all year if you change out the bow or flower. I just love burlap! The twine is for tying it on your door.
*More holiday craft posts to come!
