Super Easy Ruffled Burlap Wreath for Fall

It's as easy as pulling the ribbon edges up through and between the center frame bands. Hopefully the picture depicts this more clearly. I started to thread the ribbons along the middle rings and scrunch and gather as I moved along. I used a crossbar as seen below to be my starting point, it helped to stop the ribbon from sliding on back on the ring as I gathered and scrunched it.

Once you get the ring filled up to the next crossbar support you simply cross over underneath and pull up again on the other side to continue again.

I pulled the ribbon edges taut as I slid it along the frame, back checking and retouching as I saw the need to create even gathering and fullness. The back should look even as well, if it wasn't it helped me pinpoint areas that required an extra tug on the front side.

Once I met back up to where I started on the ring I simply snipped the tails and folded and secured them at the back with hot glue.

At this joining point I tied some jute string in and out through the metal frame for a hanging loop.

Now comes the fun part, my favourite time in wreathmaking...D & B, decorate and make it beautiful! I used copper spray paint to paint a purchased sign to reallly highlight the message to all my visitors. It was sealed with a satin spray varnish to protect the mdf wood from any wet weather.

It was hung onto the wire frame with pieces of jute string and not glue, this allows me to easily change out the accent if I want or hang it straight instead of diagonal.

I glued on an assortment of floral stems and fall leaves in color tones to match the copper sign and pumpkin bow. I made the wired print and burlap ribbon bow to give it more color and fullness while coordinating it with the Fall theme.

It's completed and ready for display to greet and welcome our guests, D & B completed! It couldn't possibly get any easier than that, this is one you need to try to see it for yourself!
