Burlap Wreath

So I decided to make my next wreath a burlap wreath. I got burlap (1 roll, I think the brand was Ashland, it's from Michaels). It was about maybe 6 inches wide. I got an iron wreath, wooden letters, 2 kinds of ribbon, and 2 spider accents. I already had black spray paint and a glue gun.

I did some research and this blog had the best tutorial on how to make a burlap wreath: Texas Cottage Blog. I finished that in like 10 minutes and you can fluff and pull to get it to look the way you want. I then spray painted the letters and let them dry.

Next was the bow...I am not the best at making bows, but I am pretty good at researching ways to make them. Lol. This site has the quickest and easiest way to make a bow. She also has tons of others arts and crafts and ideas and tutorials!! Check out her blog....it's pretty much amazing!! Sew Many Ways.The tails of my bow were long, so I cut them off and looped them, and glued them to the back of my bow.

Once the letters were dry and the bow was dry, I decided it was time to glue. The final product turned out pretty good. I'm pleased and cannot wait to make another one.

Please check out the 2 blogs I referenced. They are awesome blogs with lots of great ideas!!
