wire hanger burlap wreath

Hello crafting friends!

I have been asked if I had some ideas for Valentine’s front door wreaths. I’m always on the hunt for new ideas, especially ones I can tweak a little. I stumbled onto this burlap wreath- from craftaholicsanonymous.net ( whom I had the pleasure of meeting in person on my trip out to CA with Michael’s). What I loved about it was the SIMPLE beauty. Valentines can be gaudy, glittery, and honestly- WAY too much pale pink for my taste… so I was thrilled with this find. I made a few slight tweaks, but mainly followed her directions. Here we go~!

DIY EAS-Y Valentine’s burlap wreath

Materials:

*burlap – @ 12 yards ( either bought at a fabric store by the yard, or in rolls) – any pattern, design you’d like

*an old wire coat hanger

*scissors

*ribbon

Can you GET any easier than that?? :O)

Okay- here are the steps!

Step 1-Take your wire hanger and untwist it. Then bend into a “heart” shape. No perfection here! Do not twist ends together yet- you will need an open end to start threading the burlap:)

Step 2-Cut your burlap ( if it’s in a big sheet) into strips about 2-3 inches wide.

If you have burlap on a spool already, you can skip this step!!

Step 3- Take your open end of the heart shape, and begin to thread the burlap onto the wire – in the middle. Continue threading about every 3 inches or so- once again- eyeball it- no need to measure- it will look great, I promise:O)
