Wreath Making Directions:
- Using one end of the burlap, make a knot on the wire wreath.
- Pass the burlap through one of the frame’s partitions. Twist it to create a sideways loop as this helps cover the wreath frame.
- Make more loops but ensure each loop is next to the previous one. This helps the loops appear full and holds each one in place.
- Make as many loops as you want – the more loops you have, the fuller your wreath will look. You can make the loops similar or contrast them.
- If some burlap is left, cut it off. Tie a knot at the end and tuck it into the loops.
- Use hot glue to attach the flowers, leaves, and other fall decorations you might have.

Most informative!!! Most videos don’t show enough details and leave me with so many questions☹️️ Now I am ready to go to work or should I say play?
Dianne Frantz says
how many rolls of burlap did you use?
Ronique Gibson says
Dianne the number of rolls depends on how poufy you want your wreath. You can use 1 roll for a thinner wreath or up to 3-4 rolls double layered for a fuller wreath.

Janet Johnson says
I have tried to watch your tutorials on burlap wreaths and it never lets me watch any of them.So why put watch video if nothing is on there.I’m very disappointed with your website.
Ronique Gibson says
Hi Janet, I’m sorry to hear that. Are you sure your flash player is up to date on your computer/browser? I can see the videos fine on my end and I’ve never had anyone say they can’t be seen. I usually include a you tube link as well. have you tried clicking on the you tube link and watching directly on you tube instead?
