    How to Make a Burlap Wreath Adorned with Flowers

    March 4, 2020 by Patti Estep 4 Comments

    Learn how to make a burlap wreath with pretty flowers for spring or summer. This tutorial is very easy and can be completed in about 20 minutes.

    Several years ago when I first started blogging using burlap was pretty popular in home decor and other DIY crafting. I created a fun herb garden in a burlap sack and an easy burlap hanging flower vase. And today, I'm sharing an easy burlap bubble wreath that I can make with my girlfriends on our annual weekend getaway.

    How to Make a Burlap Wreath

    Supplies

    14-inch metal wreath frame
    15 yards of 6-inch burlap ribbon
    Floral wire or twist ties
    Artificial flowers
    Hot glue gun and glue

     

    Wire on end of burlap ribbon

    Start by gathering the end of the ribbon and wrap some wire around it.

    Tying ribbon to wreath frame

    Then attach the wire to the wreath at the bottom of one of the cross bars.

    Making burlap bubble between wires on wreath frame

    Begin pushing some of the ribbon up through the first opening at the bottom, between the wires on the frame, creating a loop or bubble a few inches above the frame. Repeat through the middle and top openings.

    Next, twist the ribbon and then push a loop through the top opening either to the left or right of the first set of loops.

    Then continue pushing ribbon through the middle opening and then the bottom inner opening creating a second row.

    Once you have completed the second row, twist the ribbon again and repeat the same action for the next row, twisting the ribbon at the top or bottom, before starting again on a new row.

    Finish burlap wreath

    You can scrunch or push the loops to the side as you go along making the wreath as tight as you like.

    When you run out of ribbon, use some wire to tie it to the closest wire on the frame and continue with a new roll of ribbon.

    Artificial flowers and branches

    Decorating the Burlap Wreath

    A nice large silk flower with some smaller branches of complementary flowers makes a nice adornment for this wreath. Just cut the branches up and lay them under the larger flower and hot glue them all into place.

    Here's a shot of my friends' completed wreaths.

    Once you get started this project goes very quickly, making this a great project to create with others.

      I love this and still use burlap. Mostly in the garden but also for decorating because I like the natural vibe. Great presentation and the flowers you chose - perfectly placed and simple. Definitely a fun activity to do with friends.
