Burlap Wreath Tutorial

I spent a LONG time trying to recreate an exact replica of this wreath. I figured out in the end, that they must have used a much thinner burlap, and possibly took several extra steps. My way is super easy and I think it turned out pretty nice! I purchased about a yard and a half of burlap from Hobby Lobby. With a 40% off coupon, it ended up being about $2.50 a yard. I used an old metal hanger (literally, one of the last metal hanger in our house), and a couple sticks of hot glue. Total cost for this project: about $3. Now, if you aren’t crafty or just REALLY like this particular wreath, here is the link to the Etsy site where you can buy this one! Burlap Wreath on Etsy Oh, by the way, it’s $65 But hey, it’s super cute!

First I formed the hanger into a circle. I cut the burlap into long strips, no more than 12″ wide. Then, I folded these strips in half. I simply fed the metal hanger through the burlap, weaving it up and down, twisting the burlap on occasion to give it a more bunched up look. There really was no clear cut way of doing this. You really just have to play around with it till you get the look you are going for. I used the hot glue to poof certain spots and make it stay exactly where I wanted it. Then, glued the backside in various spots to keep the burlap from sliding around. Have fun!

    What a great tutorial! I also appreciate the fact that you’ve shown how to make the wreath as inexpensively as possible. I love the recycled wooden ladder in your photo. I just might have to steal that idea ;-) Thanks for sharing!

    What a cute wreath! I used your idea to make a wreath for one of our bathrooms which is used mostly by teenage boys. I love that the burlap keeps it from looking to frilly. At hobby lobby I found a red burlap flower with a brown center to use as an accent and added a few brown ribbon streamers to pull it all together. All told it took 30 minutes to complete. Thanks again! I love your site!
