Ingredients
1 1/2yardsburlap
spool of burlap ribbon for the bow(the wire ribbon is often easier to make a bow with)
200floral pins(greening pins)
1straw wreath form
floral wire(to help make the bow and tie the ribbon to the wreath)
hot glue(use when needed to secure burlap and greening pin when loose)
Instructions
First, cut about a 3 to a 4-inch long strip of burlap to wrap around the wreath. Fasten off with a greening pin.
Cut 4-inch squares of burlap.
Fold the four-inch square in half making a triangle.
Bring the edges of the triangle to the center point.
Use a greening pin to attach to the wreath. A dab of hot glue can help secure the pins. I did not need to do this since my pins felt secure in the wreath.
I pinned along the outside edge all the way around, then the inside, and finished off with a row on the front.
Once finished attach a bow and you have a festive decoration. You can see how to tie a bow on this bow tying tutorial. I used the same process that I do for making a bow for a gift package. Hang the wreath on your front door to welcome guests.
Notes
When burlap fabric gets wet it can become saggy and can fade in sunlight. You can apply a couple of coats of clear acrylic spray paint with UV protection to prevent damage due to moisture and sunlight.
By using multiple colors of burlap you can add color to your wreath. Just make squares of the colors you want and interchange them as you add them to the wreath.
