How To Make A Wreath

You can make these lovely fall wreaths for your office space, give them away as gifts, or make them and sell at craft shows. Either way, it’s best to make things that don’t take forever when you craft a lot. It’s so rewarding to see the finished product. Here are the super-easy steps for you to make this burlap wreath.

First Step: Begin by dabbing a few spots of hot glue to the end of your burlap ribbon. Place the ribbon with hot glue on the inside of the green wreath form. You will need to hold it for a few seconds to make sure it has dried and the ribbon won’t come off when you move your hands away.

Second Step: Tightly wrap burlap ribbon around the wreath. It’s completely fine to overlap it as you go. As a matter of fact, it looks much better when you do overlap. It gives the rustic wreath more character and depth this way.

Third Step: Continue wrapping the wreath with ribbon until it’s been completely covered. You don’t want there to be any green showing through from the wreath form. Add a drop or two of hot glue to the ribbon end to keep it in place.

Fourth Step: Figure out where you think you will like the fall foliage best. Then wrap some black ribbon in that area. You just want to cover about 1/4 -1/8 of the wreath with the black ribbon.

Fifth Step: Add a fair amount of hot glue to the back of your decorations. Place and hold the decorations to the area with the black ribbon. Keep it in place until it’s dry. Continue adding pieces until you have it how you like it.

Optional Tip: If you are intending on using this as a front door wreath or wall hanging, you will want to tie a piece of burlap at the top so you can hang it. Otherwise, you can set it on a mantle or shelf without this step.

Can I Use Different Decorations For This Wreath?

Of course, you can literally use any kind of materials you want for this rustic wreath. If you want to decorate for other holidays like Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day or anything else, feel free to use burlap and another ribbon that matches.

How Long Does It Take To Make This Burlap Wreath?

You can throw this wreath together in 30 minutes even if you are a beginner. I love to make a wreath that is quick and easy because I don’t always have the patience for ones that take hours to make. Plus, I think the simple look is more rustic and stylish for my home.
