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!

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!
