How to make this easy burlap wreath!!!
The hardest part of this wreath is finding all of the materials!!
The hardest part of this wreath is finding all of the materials!!
The picture above is the one that I found off of Pinterest.
What you'll need (and where to find it):
Start by hot gluing the end of the burlap onto the foam. You are going to overlap the burlap. If you don't, you will be able to see some of the foam through the burlap. Every time you go around the wreath once with the burlap, you want to make sure that you secure the burlap with a small amount of hot glue.
Once the burlap starts to bunch, you are going to want to cut the burlap. Then begin wrapping the burlap again.
I couldn't find the exact color glitter that I wanted, so I bought this packet of glitter and I mixed the 3 middle colors, the 2 golds and the bronze color.
P.S. Notice the cute dog in the background!!! ;)
I mixed it in a zip lock bag and then cut a hole on the corner of the bag.
Then I glued the middle of the flower. I took a plastic knife and I spread the glue all around in the middle. I didn't worry too much about getting the glue out to the black part of the flower, I just made sure that there was a lot of glue in the middle.
P.S. Your flowers will come with stems on them, you will need to cut the stems off with wire cutters. And be careful the wire is very sharp!
Then with the bag of glitter (with the hole cut) I started sprinkling the glitter in the middle.
If you do all the glittering and gluing over a paper plate, it saves a lot of clean up time and it saves you from having a huge mess.
Finished product of the flowers
I took the hot glue to the back side of flowers and glued them onto the wreath.
I then made my bow. It took me a while to make because I am a perfectionist. But you make the bow exactly how you tie your shoe. Once you have the bow exactly how you want it, you glue it onto the wreath. Since the burlap bow is wired, you can form the bow tails to sit however you want on the wreath. Once the tails were exactly how I wanted them, I tacked them with a little hot glue.
And LASTLY, you put your scrabble pieces on. You can spell anything with the scrabble pieces, I liked the welcome, but you could also do someones last name!
Here is what my wreath looks like!!!
