Burlap Wreath Tutorial
UPDATE: This post originally appeared on my old blog, Goings on in Texas, so that is why you’ll see my other pics watermarked with my old blog name.
So, the other day (well, actually like a couple of weeks ago) I posted on my Instagram account {follow me: pnkheelspnktrk} a Burlap Wreath that I “whipped” up. And seriously. It was my first ever attempt at this wreath. And let me tell you….SUPER SIMPLE!!

And y’all it’s time for you to learn this SUPER SIMPLE wreath!! 🙂

You.are.welcome. 😉 LOL

Here’s what you’ll need:
Wreath Form (I picked up mine at Hobby Lobby for $2.99. It’s the middle size, I think 12 inch in diameter.)
Burlap (I picked up these 2 rolls from Michaels for $5.99/each. Each roll is 10 yards. I didn’t quite use the entire 2nd roll.)

Okay, time to start crafting…

Start by taking the end of your burlap…

and making a loop. Your first loop needs to be about 4-5 inches tall (so 8-10 inches total from the end of your burlap).

Now take the very center of your loop and pinch it and then push it through the lower space in the wreath form.

Then once you get it through (leaving an inch or so on the other end), puff it back up with your fingers.

Now, after your first loop is through and puffy to your liking, twist the burlap tail a bit (like you are going to ring out a towel)…

and then push some more burlap through the middle space in the wreath form. You don’t have to create another loop on the bottom side before pushing through the hole. Just push the burlap as it is using one of your fingers and then pull it and start shaping it the way you want.

Continue with this twisting, pushing through and puffing up the burlap. You don’t have to twist the burlap each time before you create a new loop, only when you feel that the burlap is all going in the same direction. This is what it looks like with 3 loops through each layer within the form.

After 6 loops…just keep on looping. Squish each loop down (counterclockwise) so you can squeeze more loops within each section of the wreath. You want to alternate lower, middle, upper, middle, lower…or however you want to make it look so that you can’t see any of the green wreath form.

This is what the back side looks like.

It’s 2/3rds finished and now it’s time to start the next burlap roll!! 🙂

The backside with a little tail showing from the tail end of the burlap roll. Simply start the next roll exactly how you started the first one.

SUPER SIMPLE right?!?! It takes me less than 30 minutes to complete one wreath. Once you are finished, time to embellish it!! I plan on adding my last name initial on one side and then thought about putting some velcro on the other side so that I could change out the seasonal items…so one wreath for the entire year.

The embellishment ideas are endless! So be creative and most of all have fun!! 🙂 Now go get your supplies!! 🙂 And come back and link up your finished product or tag me so I can see your creation!! 🙂

Linking up with the following:

Until next time…

    Do you think you could get two wreaths done if you bought three burlap rolls at 10 yards each? Sorry if you answered this already. Thanks!
