For awhile now, I’ve been keeping a rather long list of the things I would like to make. Well, Friday night husband was working late so I decided to get my craft on (after enjoying a Cafe Rio salad, of course). This fall burlap wreath was cheap and easy to make. As I craft more I am learning I am in no way a perfectionist, so you may notice flaws but I’m okay with it. I’d rather have the project done with!

I got the idea for this wreath from the blog “a little lovely“. So, you can go there for her break down, but here’s what I did.

1. Cut the burlap (used approximately 1/2 yard) into 3 inch strips. (Jan, the measurements are for YOU!)
2. Take a coat hanger and make a circle shape.
3. Weave the burlap strips along the coat hanger wire. I hot glued every so once and awhile to try and keep the ruffles even.
4. Connect wire at the top. (A little hot glue helped out in this step, too.)
5. Add fabric flowers.
6. Add ribbon embellishment if desired.

Cost:

• Burlap (1/2 yard) – $2.00
• Coat hanger – free!
• Hot glue
• 3 Fabric fat quarters for flowers – 99 cents (on sale)
