To begin your wreath, secure your end by taking one end of the burlap and wrap around the wire rim, pulling tightly to secure. OR without pulling so tightly leave end in place ( this is the method I use)
Using the other end (in one continuous piece or cut it in equal pieces) ,weave the burlap in and out through the wire rim, going back and forth and in and out. You will do this for the entire wreath form.
Make sure your loops are approximately the same size as you work your way around the wreath.
Make sure your loops are approximately the same size as you work your way around the wreath.
For a fuller wreath, use more burlap. This project took 1.5 rolls of burlap on a 10 foot roll to complete.
Make sure your loops are the same size around your form or your wreath will not look even.
Use burlap garland with a slight edge. Ribbon with no edge will not work as well. This is a picture of the garland that I use
Use the wreath in covered outdoor spaces or indoors only.Occasionally you can spray with fabreeze to eliminate any odors from the natural fibers.

Thank you so much for sharing you talent. I love it and plan on making 2 to give to my daughters for their homes this Christmas.
Very nice. I really like that it can be changed for the seasons. Great job! I will enjoy coming up with designs of my own.

I love this too. I bought some burlap from walmart and it is shedding like crazy even after I washed and dried it, which did help a little.
Is burlap alway so messy or did I get some junky stuff? Thanks
I LOVE this wreath and successfully made one that is *almost* as lovely as yours. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I wanted to put this out there, though: This wreath stinks. Literally. The panacea burlap garland emits an odor that is apparently released by heat. We discovered this on a sunny afternoon. It took us a little while to pinpoint the source of the smell, but it was definitely the wreath. I'm hoping that as it airs out, this will go away. We have it hanging on our front door- between our glass door and wooden door and the smell filters through into the house. Just a word of caution to those folks making the wreath, or those wondering what that weird smell in their home might be. :)
I love your wreaths. Truly inspires me! Thank you and happy holidays!
I just made one in about an hour Love it! I have a question, though--how do you temporarily attach the difference embellishents so they stay secure but can be removed next season?
Thank you!
I love this!! Can't wait to make it. Thank you for sharing!
I LOVE IT!! i'm on #3.. making them as gifts. Thank U sooo much.
how do you secure the very last loop, glue gun?
are you weaving through every wire piece or weaving over some.you don't show an actual picture of the first few weaves as you did them, only after they were done.
I saw on another site that burlap does not like the sun, do you agree?
Thank you for sharing! I found you from Rooms For Rent. I think her suggestion of using Febreeze is a good one judging by the comments about the smell :) The wreaths are just beautiful; I really like the birds' nest on the one, and I have some nests with eggs in them-so many ideas, not enough doors or wall space! Good idea about leaving room to change out the decorations on the wreaths..
