How To Make Christmas Wreaths With Burlap

At the start of the holiday season, most of us want to give our homes a festive makeover. A great way to spruce up the house is with a classic Christmas wreath. The traditional evergreen style is always beautiful but this year, why not try something new by crafting a unique burlap wreath? Burlap is a versatile and affordable material and you can easily create a charming wreath that will last through the seasons. Read on to discover how to turn this seasonal staple into an eye-catching decoration for your home.

Steps for Making a Christmas Wreath With Burlap

Making a Christmas wreath with burlap requires just a few simple steps. Here's what you'll need to get started: burlap fabric, wire wreath frame, scissors, hot glue gun, and festive decorations of your choice.

Step 1: Create the Burlap Base

Start by cutting the burlap into strips of about an inch wide and 12 inches long. You'll need at least two dozen pieces for a full wreath. Next, take one piece of burlap and loop it around the wreath frame, securing it with a dab of hot glue. Continue looping and gluing each strip of burlap until the entire wreath is covered in fabric. Make sure to keep the fabric tight and secure.

Step 2: Add Decorations

Now it’s time to get creative and add decorations to the wreath. You can use whatever you like – ribbons, pinecones, glitter, bells, even baubles. Get creative and have fun with this step. Arrange the decorations on the wreath before you begin gluing them down. Once you’ve settled on a design, start adding the decorations to the wreath using the hot glue gun.

Step 3: Hang the Wreath

When you're done adorning the wreath, hang it on your door or wall. Burlap is quite durable, so your wreath should last through the holiday season and beyond. If you'd like to add an extra touch of festivity, tie a colorful ribbon to the top of the wreath for a pop of color.

Tips for Making a Burlap Christmas Wreath

When cutting the burlap, make sure to cut the strips slightly wider than an inch – this will give your wreath a fuller look.

To make the wreath more secure, dab hot glue in between each strip of burlap to make sure none of them move.

When adding decorations to the wreath, use different textures and colors to create visual interest.

To make the wreath more festive, add a few sprigs of evergreen or faux foliage.

If you'd like to keep your wreath looking fresh throughout the season, spray it with a clear sealant after you've added all the decorations.

Conclusion

Christmas wreaths are a wonderful way to bring the holiday spirit into your home. With a little bit of creativity and some simple supplies, you can craft a stunning burlap wreath that will stay looking great throughout the season. Be sure to follow the steps and tips outlined above to create a charming wreath of your own.
