Burlap Wreath

A burlap wreath is any easy and inexpensive project that can be done in a jiffy! 

Items needed:

·         Wreath ($1 store wreath works great!)

·         Roll of burlap (buy at home improvement store)

·         Hot glue gun

·         Wooden letters, numbers, etc.

·         Ribbon

·         Florist Wire

To begin, paint your letters and/or numbers if needed and set aside to dry.  Next, if you buy a large roll of burlap at a home improvement store, which I recommend because you get a lot more for your money than the rolls sold at craft stores, begin by cutting a few pieces into 8 inch strips; you can always cut more later if needed.  Apply glue to your wreath and adhere the end of one burlap strip.  Now, simply wrap the burlap around the wreath, gluing periodically.  When the strip comes to an end, glue it down.  Be sure to glue down the ends on the side of the wreath that will be hidden against the door/wall.  Continue the process until your wreathe is completely covered.  You may want to do a few layers for it to appear fuller.  Trim any frayed ends if needed.  Next, layout your letters and/or numbers and glue them to your wreath.  While drying, create your bow using your ribbon.  Adhere to your wreath using florist wire.  That’s it – you’re done!  This wreath is so easy & inexpensive - it would make a perfect gift!
