Burlap Wreath

This year was full of crafts and home improvement projects for me.  That was actually my New Year's resolution.  I would say I went above and beyond...

Burlap Wreath

This was my first time making one of these.  I think it turned out really nice.  Nice enough to give away as a gift.  I won't say to whom I will be giving it just in case she reads this...

Supplies:
1 roll of burlap
1 wire wreath frame
2 sheets of red felt
3 decorative beads
Thin wire to assemble the flowers

First weave the burlap in and out of the wire frame.  I looked up some tutorials on YouTube until I found the one that I liked the best.  There are tons of them to choose from...

Next I cut 6 pedals for the flowers. Thread the pedals together and pull them tight.  Twist the wire to keep it together.  Once you have that finished, cut a piece of wire and thread the bead.  Stick the threaded bead in the center of the flower and attach the flower to the wreath.

There are different size wreath frames that you can buy.  This is the smaller one.  You may need to use 2 rolls of burlap if you decide to go with the larger frame.

I plan to do a few more posts before Christmas so keep checking...
