Hey y’all! It’s a busy time of year for us crafters. Trust me, we know how helpful it is to know how to make different types of wreaths in a short amount of time.

Grapevine wreaths are one of my favorite ways to make beautiful wreaths quickly – right behind ruffle wreaths!

We asked our friend from Burlap Bowtique to teach us how she makes her beautiful, simple burlap wreath. This technique will give you the perfect base for a ruffled DIY burlap wreath that you can take and decorate any way that you want.

A little bit of background info about Melissa…

DIY Burlap Wreath Instructions

Simply follow these instructions to create your own beautiful ruffled wreath that you can decorate any way you want to!

Step 1

Using a zip tie, attach the burlap to the wire wreath form on the inner ring at a cross bar.

Step 2

Push the burlap into each section of the form creating about a 3 inch poof. Twist the burlap as you move from one ring to the other. It usually takes about 3-4 poofs in each section.

Step 3

Continue making the poofs till the form is as full as you like.

Step 4

Cut the burlap off and secure with a zip tie.

Step 5

Fluff the poofs to reveal a nice full wreath.

Step 6

When you’re done fluffing, you can make a bow using your bow maker, or whatever you like to dress up your wreath.

You can always dress up your wreath for whatever season you’re in. It’s simple to attach and hangs beautifully indoors and outdoors. We hope you enjoyed this easy DIY burlap wreath tutorial!
