Burlap Wreath

 

What you will need:

-2.5 yards of burlap

-wire wreath

-floral wire

-ribbon

-Flowers

-scissors

-needle and thread

I bought a yard and a half for burlap fabric from Walmart for $2.97/ yard. I cut it into strip or various widths, most were about 2.5 inches wide. I then stitched the strips together to make a garland. This took a little more time but cost a lot less than buying the rolls of burlap garland. I'm a stay at home mommy so I have plenty of time. Then take one end of the garland and attach it to the wreath with the floral wire. I just pushed the wire through the fabric and twisted the wire together. Once the burlap is attached you begin pulling the garland through the wreath from the back to make the loops. I twisted the burlap so the loops were not all going the same direction. I think it made it look fuller, continue to pull the garland through until the entire wreath is covered. Attach the other end of the garland to the back of the wreath with another piece of floral wire. I added the fall flowers and a red bow to hang it. I haven't found a larger ribbon I like so for now its a thin red one.

The total cost was under $25. I loved how it turned out and may keep it up all year round and just change out the flowers.
