Burlap Fall Wreath

Even though the weather is still very summer like, I have been dying to put up my fall decorations. I love seeing all the fall crafts and activities on other blogs and Pinterest. So I decided it was time to make my fall wreath. I have been looking for inspiration for several weeks, and it finally struck when I saw this simple burlap wreath at Create Craft Love.

Here is what you need:
A wreath- I got this straw wreath at Walmart for $2.50.
Burlap cut into strips
Fall Leaves and Flowers
Twine
Paint
Ribbon
Hot Glue

1. I started with this straw wreath. It was very messy once I took the plastic off, so be prepared for that. I wrapped it in the burlap and hot glued the ends down.

 

2. I arranged and glued on the fall leaves and fall colored flowers.

3. Next came the bunting. I cut out the triangles and the letters on my cricut. I cut out burlap triangles and then used the letters as stencils.

4. I was planning on stopping here, but as Husband and I looked at it we agreed that it just felt like it was missing something. So I added this ribbon around it, and glued it under the leaves.

I love the way it turned out! I love how the burlap makes it feel very rustic, and I love the fall colors. The only problem is that it is too fat to fit in my wreath holder.
