A floral and burlap DIY wreath tutorial

I have always wanted to make a Christmas wreath, but have just never actually gotten round to do it. This year I decided that I would have to add one to our whimsical inspired Christmas shoot, so now I get to share the floral & burlap wreath tutorial that I made with you. Note that in South Africa we know burlap as hessian if you decide to purchase some at a fabric store.

Floral and burlap wreath tutorial

What you will need to make a DIY wreath?

• A roll of Wire, side-cutter, soldering iron, pliers OR I just bought a ready made ring from a florist
• A Pair of Scissors
• Florist wire or cotton
• Flowers of your choice
• Hessian/Burlap or your fabric of choice
• Ribbon or a piece of string (used to hang the wreath)

Step by step instructions on how to create your own wreath

1. Cut the hessian or fabric into strips of about 7 cm wide and 30 cm long.
2. Tie these pieces as bows around the wire frame until the frame is filled up.






3. Add some branches or stems of flowers to the wreath weaving them through the bows.





4. Use some cotton or florist wire to secure the flowers to the wreath.
5. Add a piece of ribbon to the one side to hang it from.
