Square Burlap Wreath
Do you love burlap for anything Fall?
I have been admiring all the wreaths on Pinterest and other sites and wanted a burlap wreath, but wanted something a little out-of-the box. I have had a square wire wreath form for a couple of years, just hanging around waiting for me to decide what to do with it. (Bought while it was on sale)
Using the pull string method of marking and cutting the burlap, I cut strips of burlap at 1 inch wide and 16 inches long. I had burlap leftover from previous projects and so I am not for sure how much material the wreath took but I would say you would need at least 1 to 1 & 1/2 yards of burlap, depending on the width of the material.
Tie the strips on the wire (this was a 3 wire 17 inch form) randomly on two different wires and sometimes around all three wires. Push the tied strips close together.
Since this is a square, you will need to work-in several strips to fill in the space at the corner.
I then made a bow using burlap, striped ribbon and a twiggy type ribbon and placed in the corner of the wreath. I strung the letters (BOO) together and tied onto the wreath. I didn't want to glue the letters on as I wanted to use the wreath for Thanksgiving also. Tip: Spray the strips of burlap with spray starch to keep them looking fresh.
Loving my new colored door with my square burlap wreath. Fall is my favorite season!
