I have a double front door and need two door decorations and wanted something inexpensive. When I saw this red burlap on sale this week at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 a yard I decided the price was right. I realized for less than two dollars I could make two wreaths.
Supplies for 1 wreath
1 metal hanger
12" X width of burlap (my burlap was about 50" wide)
glue gun
a rotary cutter to make cutting the strips easier
dental floss
Instructions
Cut 3 - 4" X about 50" burlap strips. Sew these three pieces together, so you have one long strip. To gather the burlap, machine zig zag stitch over dental floss. I used red cinnamon flavored floss so it wouldn't show, even though it looks white in the picture. Pull the floss and gather the burlap.
Bend 1 wire hanger into a heart shape.
Adjust gathers to fit around frame, cutting off any extra that isn't needed. Hot glue to wire frame. I used clear fishing line to hang, but a pretty white bow would be nice.
If you want a no sew method, Craftaholics Anonymous gathered the burlap by threading it about every three inches or so right onto the wire Hanger.
Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the feature! I am very honored!! I really appreciate that you emailed me to let me know. Looks great! Although my blog name is Craftaholics Anonymous, there’s a lot of Craftaholics around here
Love your version, especially in red. Very stunning!
happy crafting,
Linda
I love all the burlap wreaths out there! I made a heart wreath from cotton fabric and an old Christmas wreath. But if I had burlap lying around, you can bet your boots it would have been made with that!
LOVE the red.

I think my front door would love to have one of these….and I think I might just have some burlap laying around!
Love the wreath! Can’t wait to make one myself.
I love it!
It’s fabulous!
Have a terrific day!
That is super cute. I already made a heart wreath for my door this year…but maybe next year! Or for somewhere else in my house
Love it, you always have great ideas! Thank you for sharing them with us, you’ve been an inspiration to my blog as well.

Thanks for all your GREAT ideas
The burlap gives the hearts such a country look. Can’t decide if my favourite is the red or the white. Both are great!
That’s the first time I have heard of the gathering technique using a zig zag stitch over floss, genius! Thanks for sharing such a cute design.
