my christmas wreath

 so for this year's christmas wreath, i made a Holly Berry Burlap wreath....at least that's what it looks like! {haha} but isn't it so pretty? {yes, i couldn't help myself. i had to make *yet another* burlap wreath.}colored burlap is just too fun to play with. the texture is awesome, although the mess it creates.... is not so awesome. oh well.
 this wreath is similar to my Valentine's Day wreath {you can find it here: Valentine's Day Burlap wreath with Turotial}. i did a couple things differently though; i used a wire hanger and increased the burlap to 1.25 yards. i also cut each 3" strip using this Burlap Cutting Technique.
 the red burlap flowers remind me of holly berries on my green wreath.
want to see last year's Christmas wreath? i'm a bit torn on which one to hang this year. i love them both! which one do you like better?

  4. Also, I'm pretty dumb when it comes to hanging wreaths. How are you hanging the wreath without seeing a wreath hanger or ribbon?

  9. k, first a quick question: Is the wreath green or grey? My monitor is showing grey, but all the comments say green!?!
    Anyways, I like this year's wreath for sure! I need to get some burlap!

  15. Super cute! I just found your blog a few months ago and have been so inspired! I am having a girls' craft night tonight and am working on your wreath from last year. Question...how do you get the burlap so bunchy? I've just started on mine but it looks like it's not going to be as full as yours. :(

    Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!

    I just made some burlap stockings and I love them... who knew burlap could be so pretty?

  22. Hang one on the front door and the other on the back door! Who says only the front needs decorations?
    I'm with missbossypants, my monitor shows a grey/blue wreath with chartuse flowers. Either colour shows nice and burlap is so "now' isn't it?
