I love meeting new people! A few weeks ago, I got a call from a Mom whose son is in Christian’s class, and she wanted to plan a play date! We met at her house on a Saturday afternoon and chatted while the kids played. I soon found out that she loved crafting too! She showed me some of her fabulous creations, but there was one in particular that I fell in love with. It was a beautiful, full burlap wreath. We had a great time talking about all things we loved making and scheduled another get together, this time at my house and making that wreath!
Here’s what you’re going to need:
Start by grabbing the end of your burlap and feeding it through one end, leaving about a quarter inch as the ‘tongue’. Be sure to leave about a half inch (height wise) of burlap loops. Continue to weave your burlap through the additional two wires, and twist the bottom a couple times before continuing onto the next section. Continue this three to four times in each section of the wire wreath, pushing the burlap back as you go. This will create the “scrunching” look that makes the wreath look full! Simply cut your burlap free from the spool when done. You can hot glue the loose end on the back or simply tuck it into the wiring. Perfect and fluff in any desired places.
I am so happy with how this turned out! It’s so beautiful to look at and a cinch to make 😉 I plan on adding some removable embellishments that I can swap out for each holiday! I’ll update when that time comes…
Sharing this project on these fabulous sites!
So cute! 🙂
I made a few burlap wreaths for Christmas presents last year. I’m obsessed with burlap… although, wasn’t too thrilled about getting it all over me when I made those. Ha.
I hate how burlap sheds too, but I was pleasantly surprised that the spool burlap didn’t shed nearly as bad!
That is adorable!!
