Equipment

Materials

Instructions

Prep Your Wreath Form

  • Fluff out all the twist ties on your 10" wreath form so they're ready to grab the burlap.

Cut Burlap Strips

  • Cut red, white, and blue burlap into 18-inch strips
  • You'll need 6–7 strips per color (adjust depending on how full you want it)

Create Ruffle Bundles

  • Take one strip of each color
  • Lay them on top of each other and scrunch or ruffle down the center
  • Pinch the ruffle in the middle to form a "burlap bouquet"

Attach to Wreath Form

  • Secure each ruffle bundle to a twist tie on the wreath form
  • Keep alternating your tie placements to spread color evenly
  • Fluff and separate the colors as you go for a fuller look
  • Repeat around the wreath
  • Continue adding ruffle bundles until the entire wreath is full and even
  • Adjust any tight or flat areas as needed

Add the Accent

  • Hot glue or wire the red velvet star to the wreath
  • Place it slightly off-center or wherever it feels balanced
