Burlap Sack Wreath


Well everyone...I found a craft to incorporate burlap in my house! I found it on one of my favorite sites at Jones Design Company! She does a amazing job giving step by step directions. I can even do it which says a lot! The total cost of the project is about $12.
Step one: Suppplies



 Supplies:
1. Glue Gun
2. 2 yards of burlap= $2.99 at Joanne's with a coupon
3. 10 inch Styrofoam
4. Needle, thread- This was the first time I ever threaded a needle..I know so crazy!
5. Push pins

Step 2:
1. Cut burlap in 5 strips of 4 inches by 70 inches. On her site she used only 3 strips but I added an extra one to cover the wreath. I also added an extra one around the wreath. Then use two to cover the wreath like below.
Step three:Wrapped the wreath
 Step 4: Create the ruffles
1. Go to Jones Design Company to see the step by step directions to create the ruffles!
Step 5: Attached ruffles
I love my burlap wreath!
On Emily's site she created her own amazing flower but I don't know how to do that. Yes, I want to learn how to create flowers too! This flower is a pin I had in my jewelry box.

I hope you all enjoyed me new wreath creation!

  1. I love the burlap and book wreaths. They kind of have a vintage or PB feel. I saw one in an antique mall for $69... Looks great!
