“I recently made this burlap spring wreath, and I love the way the yellow and burlap compliment each other. So cheery!
Here is what I used:
· One yard of burlap, cut into 2″ strips
· One wreath form (I used a pool noodle I have used before, bent into a circle and taped together at the ends)
· Three small bundles of spring flowers (Dollar Tree)
· Jute twine and about one yard of white lace
· Craft paper
· Craft scissors
· Letters
· Flowers
· Hot glue
· Scissors
· Hole punch
· Glue stick
How to make:
I began by wrapping each strip of burlap around the wreath shape, tacking the ends down with hot glue as I covered the wreath base.
Once the base was covered I cut my white lace into a few pieces, wrapping each around one side of the wreath and tacking down.
Next I wrapped some jute the other side of the wreath and tucked my floral sprigs in place.
I cut out six pieces of craft paper and used my decorative scissors across the bottom of each. Using a hole puncher I made holes in the upper corners and wove a piece of jute thru each, creating a banner. I added my letters and flowers, and hung it across the burlap, tying the ends to the wreath to secure.”
This is a fun pop of color for your home for spring.
