  • 1  4-inch roll of Burlap ribbon (10 yards)
  • Scissors
  • Wire
  • Instructions

How to make the classic burlap wreath. Best tutorial I've seen, clear instructions with step by step photos. 1. Place the Burlap ribbon underneath the wire wreath. Now here is an important step, make sure the burlap is perpendicular to the circular frame. The ribbon (and the roll) should be pointing in the direction of the outer circle.

2. Wrap the ribbon around the inside ring. Then thread the a piece of wire through the burlap and twist around the wreath structure.

5. Continue the same for the final outer space. At this point, you will have three loops of ribbon.

5. Turn your wreath over. Grab ahold of the burlap and twist it two times. The twisted section will act as a knot and secure the burlap.

6. Here is the next tricky step. Flip the wreath over to the front side. The ribbon should still be on the backside of the wreath. Bring the ribbon to the inner circle right next to the last row. Again, make sure the ribbon is facing perpendicular to the structure just like in step 3. Repeat step 4, making another row of loops.

7. Repeat step 5 through 6 and keep repeating till you have gone all the way around the wreath. At the final row, twist the burlap around the outer backside of the wreath and tie down with wire. Fluff and arrange the burlap until it’s exactly how you’d like it.

8. With the wire, make a loop for hanging.

9. Decorate your wreath with additional ribbon, silk or dried flowers and any decor. And if you want you can change the style throughout the seasons. Swap out the flowers and the decorative ribbon and you’ll have a whole new look!
