Supplies

You can buy all of the supplies in one easy step using our Wreath Recipe™ here.

6" Loose Weave Burlap - 10 Yards, we used just about the whole roll.
12" Wire Wreath Form
Floral Wire

You'll also need: Scissors, Wire Cutters, and a Ruler.

From start to finish, this wreath takes around 20 minutes to create. The cost for all three supplies total $8.65, so you'll definitely want to think twice before buying another pre-made wreath again! Easily make multiples to gift to your friends and family, only making them think you splurged!

Has this easy tutorial ignited that crafty flame? Craft Outlet has everything you need to make any size burlap wreath. A 16" wreath form, for example, with the same 6" Burlap would take about 2 rolls instead of 1. You could also use a 9" Burlap for a bigger wreath form if you desired bigger loops (which also comes in different colors!) We also have 6" frayed burlap if you want a more distressed look. Just be aware whatever size wire frame you pick, that is has not just two but three wire levels to place your loops in.

Below we'll show you examples of how to decorate this versatile wreath as well as a list of the supplies we've used in them. We made a 18" Burlap Wreath as well using the same method in the video to get an idea of what a bigger wreath would look like. (The 18" wreath used around 1.5 Rolls of burlap) The only tools we used to put these wreaths together are a bit of floral wire & hot glue! Let your imagination run wild.
