Spring Burlap Wreath
These simple burlap wreaths are popping up all over front doors and Pinterest pages everywhere. They are so easy and inexpensive to make, I thought I would show you how I did mine.
Burlap Wreath Materials
- Roll of 6″ wide Burlap Jute Ribbon * (30 feet long)
- Twine for hander
- Scissors
- 12 inch Wire Wreath Frame
- Ribbons and trinkets to decorate if you’d like to add after the wreath is completed
- Clothes pins – to attach embellishments temporarily. (I change my wreath look each month/holiday/season)
- Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks – to attach embellishments if you want more of a permanent wreath
- pipe cleaners, floral wire – optional to secure burlap and trinkets to wire hoop
Directions for Making a Burlap Wreath:
1. Use one end of the burlap ribbon to make a knot around the wire wreath. You can also secure the burlap with a piece of string or pipe cleaner.
2. Push the burlap into one of the sections of the frame. You can then secure it onto the frame with a pipe cleaner or knot. Make a loop or bubble with the burlap as shown.
3. Continue making loops but make sure that the next “bubble” in the wreath is next to the one you just did. This helps hold the previous loop in place. Keep the loops even in size as you push the burlap through the frame.
4. Continue making loops until the wreath is as full as you want. You can make all your “bubbles” the same size or vary the size for a more asymmetrical finished burlap wreath.
5. Cut off the burlap if you have extra.
6. Make another knot to complete the wreath or tuck the end into the bubbles.
7. Use pipe cleaners to keep the burlap in place on the back of the wreath.
Add something special to your Burlap Wreath
8. Add trinkets, flowers, ribbons, and embellishments. I attach mine with clothes pins because I change my wreath up several times during the year. It makes changing things out easier, and I think the clothespins help give it that farmhouse feel that I am looking for. You can use hot glue to make it more permanent, or floral wire/pipe cleaners.
9. Step back and look at your wreath and see if you need to fluff some of the bubbles or reshape them.
10. Add a twine loop held together with a simple know to the top of the wire wreath. I cut my twine 6 inches and folded in half giving me a 2 inch hanger plus the knot.
I used plain burlap, but there are tons other ideas of burlap and material that you can use with this DIY Wreath idea. Burlap comes in different colors, and designs. You can use burlap with chevrons, dots, or lace overlays. There are so many fun and creative ways to make your wreath unique and beautiful. ~Susie Peas
