Easy to Make: Rustic Burlap Wreath

by Lisa

3 Materials

In my home I love to add a bit of rustic with a bit of new. In this video I’m creating a burlap wreath to add new life to some of my “junk” and to make the new stuff not look so “new”. Did I confuse you? Take a look at my video, it makes more sense!

Supplies

Burlap: I used about 1.5 yards of burlap for my large wreath.

Grapevine Wreath: Purchased at a thrift store.

Measuring Tape

Hot Glue Gun

Chopstick or screwdriver. (Something thin and long to poke the burlap through the grapevine gaps.)

Scissors

Measure

Measure a square 4 x 4. This will be your template to make more squares out of the burlap.

Glue

Add a dab of glue to the center of the square.

Fold

Fold the square in half.

Fold

Fold the half one more time.

Glue

Add another dab of glue around the fold of the square.

Cut

Round out the top edges.

Stuff

Stuff the burlap into the grapevine.

Repeat

Repeat the entire process until you’ve reached the fullness you prefer. I didn’t use a pattern to add the burlap to the wreath, it was all random.

Perfect for indoors or out!

How much burlap did you need to purchase?

Firstly... BRAVO! Secondly, just to clarify... you said : ""Add another dab of glue around the fold of the square."" so... along the entire length of the fold or just in the corner...?

I like the wreath but would definitely try to add a little bit of color somehow. Any ideas? Thanks.

  Hi Rosalie, There’s burlap available in many colors and patterns to add little pops of color to your wreath or if you want to keep the wreath neutral you can tuck some mini faux flowers into the burlap after you make it. Let me know what you come up with and thanks for leaving the comment. ~Lisa

  Hi Lisa, I found large burlap flower pins in a variety of colors. They were on sale so I bought two of them and they will go perfectly with the wreath. And, as an extra, I will be able to unpin them so the wreath can be changed according to the season. Thanks for the idea.

  I was thinking this burlap wreath could be used for all the seasons/holidays. Just add and take away additional decorations as needed. 🤗

I did just that and added fall colored peonies and it looks great. One thing I did learn is do not use hot glue on these wreaths. You run the risk of destroying the form because of the glue and removing the old decorations. Just sharing,
