DIY {easy} Burlap Wreath

January 2, 2014 By Erica Deuel 16 Comments

DIY_burlap_wreathToday it is cold and rainy. The perfect day to craft and push-off cleaning, doing laundry, and packing those last odds and end Christmas items away. Come make an EASY burlap wreath with me. This thing is so easy. It will surprise you. There is no sewing. No glue. If you want, it can be as simple as only three supplies. Have I got your attention?

Let’s get started. Grab some burlap, a pair of scissors, and a metal ring. I have no clue what this ring is really supposed to be used for. I found it while browsing a craft store and got this idea. I have found some rings here though for $2.49.

Burlap_wreath_suppliesThe first step is to cut your burlap into strips. I used strips that were about 10″ by 1.5″. Depending on the size of your ring and how you want your wreath to look, you may want longer or fatter strips. One easy way to cut burlap straight is to pull out a thread and cut down the open space as you see below.

Loop_wreathThat is the basic step. You just repeat that all the way around your wreath with additional burlap strips. Depending on the size of your ring, it will depend on how many burlap strips you use. I wanted a really full wreath. The fuller the wreath is, the easier your wreath will have pieces that stick straight out and up at the end. Rather than them flopping over or forward as the wreath is hung up.

Which gives it a multi purpose function. It would be cute as a table’s centerpiece with flowers or something in the middle too. I see a pumpkin in the center in the fall!

I wanted my wreath to actually be used as a wreath. So, I made a quick lace bow and slipped some wire through it to attach it to my burlap wreath. That way I can easily untie the bow, if I want to switch it out or use my wreath for something else.

I hope you are settling into a new routine with the holidays behind us, and the new year here! Happy new year! I hope it is a beautiful year for you and are able to live out using your gifts and passions for good.

      Thanks so much Jen! I think the ring is either an 11″ or 12″ ring. I found it at Hobby Lobby. The finished wreath measures about 17″ across. I hope this helps!! Xo, Erica

    I am new on the scene here, but I am so excited at all my possibilities. Haven’t “crafted” in years – my specialty is in the needle arts, but I’ve been away from it all. Can’t wait, but don’t know where to get my supplies, and am in a wheelchair…good excuse for being lazy! Thanks so much for inspiring me!!!
