What You Need

Step-by-Step InstructionsLearn how to make a burlap wreath by weaving ribbons with rustic burlap in this

easy step-by-step tutorial. By following these instructions, you'll have a pretty

wreath to hang on your wall in no time. A video tutorial is also available at

https://www.kenarry.com/diy-summer-burlap-wreath/

1. Start the wreath with a knot. 

Turn the wire wreath frame upside down. Wrap a small amount of burlap

ribbon around one of the center wires in the wire frame and tie a knot as tight as

you can leaving only a small tail remaining.

2. Begin weaving the burlap ribbon throughthe wire frame. 

Flip the wire frame around so the top faces you now and the knot you just made

is in the back. Gather a small amount of burlap ribbon, like 6-7 inches, into a

loop and push it up between two of the wires in the frame.

Next, take another 6-7 inches of burlap ribbon, create a loop and twist it once to

change the direction. You’ll then push the loop between two of the other wires in

the wreath frame so it’s not right next to the first one you pushed through. If you

want a full wreath like mine, press your burlap loops together as closely as

possible.

3. Add the first accent ribbon. 

As you did in step one with the burlap ribbon, tie the end of one of your accent

ribbons to the wire frame so the knot is on the back side of the burlap wreath.

Now create a loop using 6-7 of accent ribbon and push it up between two of

the wires in the wreath frame that you haven’t used yet. Press the accent ribbon

as closely as you can to your burlap loops.

4. Start weaving loops and add your 2ndaccent ribbon. 

Create your third loop of burlap ribbon, twist it to change directions and push it

up from the back side through two wires in the frame you haven’t used in a

while. Repeat this process for your fourth loop of burlap ribbon, remembering to

twist the loop to change directions and choosing to push it through two different

wires than you just used for the previous loop. As in step three, tie your second

accent ribbon to the wire frame so the knot is on the back side of the wreath.

Create a loop of accent ribbon and press it up through two different wires than

you just used for the burlap loops.

Add a fifth and sixth loop of burlap ribbon to your burlap wreath using the same

process as before. Each time you’ll twist the loop prior to pushing it up

through the wire frame so your loops are constantly changing direction. You’ll

also keep changing which wires you’re pushing the loop through so that no two

loops are immediately next to each other. After the fifth and sixth loop of burlap

ribbon, insert a loop of your first accent ribbon. In my case, it’s the orange polka

dot ribbon. You’ll see in the photo I made sure to push it through two wires that

were opposite of where my first polka dot ribbon loop was.

5. Continue weaving loops of ribbon throughthe wire frame. 

Continue the process of weaving loops through the wire wreath frame. Following

the pattern of two burlap loops, then one loop of the 2nd accent ribbon, two

more burlap loops and then one loop of the first accent ribbon. Repeat this

process over and over again as you make your way around the wire wreath

frame. Continue to twist the ribbon each time before you push it up between the

wires so the loops change direction. 

To maintain the fullness of the burlap wreath, press the loops together after

every 3-5 loops. I used 15 feet of burlap ribbon per quarter of the 16 wire frame

to get the fullness you see in the pictures.

When one of your spools runs out of burlap ribbon, tie the end of the next spool

to the previous one and hide the knot to the back of the wreath. After a while,

the back of the wreath doesn’t look very pretty, but it doesn’t matter since no

one sees that side anyway!

6. Tie the last knot and fluff your burlapwreath. 

Once you’ve worked your way all the way around the entire wire wreath frame,

tie the last end of the burlap ribbon and the two accent ribbons to the wire

frame so the knots again are to the back of the wreath. Now fluff and rearrange

your loops until it appears as full and colorful as you’d like. Remember the ribbon

loops are only woven in and out of the wire frame, so be extra careful not to pull

any of the loops out of the frame as you fluff.

7. Embellish your burlap wreath. 

Use hot glue to add flowers or other accents and embellishments to your wreath

to give it more character. 

8. Hang the wreath and enjoy! 

You can use a wreath hanger or put a nail in a wall to display the burlap wreath

by your front door or anywhere in your home. 

1. Start the wreath with a knot. Tie the end of the burlap ribbon to the wire wreath frame in a knot.

2. Begin weaving the burlap ribbon through the wire frame. With the front of the wire framefacing you, gather 6-7 inches of burlap ribbon into a loop and push it up between two of the wires inthe frame. Next, take another 6-7 inches of burlap ribbon, create a loop and twist it once tochange the direction. Push the loop between two of the other wires in the wreath frame so it’s notright next to the first one. Press the burlap loops together as closely as possible.

3. Add the first accent ribbon. Tie the end ofa wired accent ribbon to the wire frame so the knot ison the back. Create a loop using 6-7 ofaccent ribbon and push it up between two of thewires in the wreath frame that haven’t used yet. Pressthe ribbon as closely as you can to the burlap loops. 

4. Start weaving loops and add your 2nd accentribbon. Create a third loop of burlap ribbon, twistit to change directions and push it up through twowires in the frame. Repeat this process for your fourthloop of burlap ribbon. Twist the loop to changedirections and push it through two different wiresthan you just used for the previous loop. As in step 3,tie a second accent ribbon to the wire frame, make aloop and press it up through the wire frame. Add two more loops of burlap ribbon using the sameprocess as before. Each time twist the loop prior to pushing it up through the wire frame. Changewhich wires you’re pushing the loop through each time.

5. Continue weaving loops of ribbon through the wire frame.Continue the process ofweaving loops through the wire wreath frame. Follow the pattern of 2 burlap loops, then 1 loop ofthe 2nd accent ribbon, 2 more burlap loops and then 1 loop of the first accent ribbon. Repeat thisprocess over and over again as you make your way around the wire wreath frame. 

6. Finishing the burlap wreath. Once you’ve worked your way around the entire wire wreath frame,tie the last end of the burlap ribbon and the two accent ribbons to the wire frame and fluff it. Usehot glue to attach flowers and other accents to your burlap wreath. Hang and enjoy!
