The Christmas decor is down and it's time to fill in spaces with something for the new year. I had a pine wreath on this mirror for Christmas and liked the way it looked so I wanted to replace it with another wreath. I didn't have what I wanted on hand but I did have burlap. I always have burlap. I have seen wreaths similar to these on blogs so I decided to whip one up for myself!
It's VERY simple- that's why I was capable of making one, so here's how it's done:
1. Get a wire hanger and shape into a circle. If your hanger you find is anything like mine was, this is easier said than done.
2. Cut 4-6 inch strips. I started with 6" but decided I liked the 4" better. I used about 5 strips that were about 3 feet long.
3. Poke hanger through burlap in about 3"folds and scrunch down.
4. Keep poking and scrunching, poking and scrunching... and poking and scrunching. Then just when you think you might be done you most likely need to poke and scrunch just a little more! I then hung with my favorite Ballard Designs check ribbon.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I made one tonight. I used 6 strips of burlap and it still wasn't enough to fill the hanger, so I ended up cutting the hanger with a wire cutter. Fun, free project!
ReplyDeleteStopping over from Funky Junk- I love this wreath!
ReplyDeleteI just linked this to my page! I totally love it. I have been looking for wire hanger craft ideas

also use brown packing paper! It works great!
ReplyDeleteI love it, thank you so much for the directions!
ReplyDeleteReally Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of yours. I used exacly one yard of 54" wide chocolate brown burlap cut into 4" strips, which I was very lucky to find on sale yesterday for $4. However, I can't get mine to look as cute. I will keep trying. I think I have to keep twisting the burlap. But definitely a super easy and inexpensive project! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTotally Awesome idea. You win the blue ribbon on this one. Love it and can't wait to make one tomorrow.
