I haven’t had time for many DIY projects lately. But during our leisurely Labor Day weekend, I found this cute burlap wreath idea. (Great tutorial using a coat hanger!)
My hubby just brought home a couple of burlap feed sacks he found for a $1 and I had wire in the garage. I grabbed an old wreath and took off the greenery.
Within 20 minutes, this cute burlap wreath was hanging on my door!
It was so easy and cheap, too.
I cut the burlap sack into 4-5 inch strips, nearly the entire sack–probably 10 strips.
I twisted a loop at the end of the wire and weaved the wire (about 24″ or so) in and out, and gathered the strips, one after another:
Once the wire is covered in burlap, I twisted a loop to hold the burlap. Then I just used several pieces of small wire to attach it to the wire wreath frame:
And, that’s it!
Cute, huh?
Thanks so much for hosting! Love you wreath! This week I shared Holistic Tips to Keep Your Family Healthy during the cold and flu season, and year-round. Thanks again

Such a cute idea!! Thanks!
I’m kind of a sucker for burlap…
Love the burlap wreath….burlap is a favorite of mine right now! I am going to do a whole series on helping kids get Back to School…stay tuned! Thanks for the party!
OK. Now I have to find me some cheap burlap! Love this wreath
I love the wreath and it looks especially beautiful with your red door. Thanks for the idea and the link up.
Thank you for the tiaorutl – so cute! I made my own version and made sure to link back to you! I was lazy and just pinned mine, instead of heating up the glue gun! Thanks for sharing your always great ideas! Happy Fall!
I love burlap! I found 2 large pieces of it in the clearance bins at Joann Fabric. I use them in the fall to line a huge white basket that I keep on my back porch table. Then I fill the basket with mini pumpkins and gourds. The burlap helps pull it all together so well!
I have a tutorial on how to make a rug with burlap that I’ve wanted to make for years. But I’m not very crafty, so I’ve never made it. Oh well, I suppose I’ll just create in the kitchen.
I linked up How to Create Allergy-Friendly Recipes today. No secrets to the tip, just some simple reminders.
Thanks for the opportunity to share!
OK, I think I’ll have to attempt this and include some burlap flowers, too!
My linky got mixed up, so I retried.
What works for me today is imagining if one million people went out and made a difference in someone’s life. On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, we’re doing just that!
Kristen,
What a pretty wreath! Thanks for hosting…this week I shared about a recent kayaking experience of mine! My birthday is this coming weekend (9/11) and I am planning on heading out on the water again. This time with a girlfriend (another first!!)

Absolutely LOVE the burlap wreath!
AWESOME fun! I have actually been looking for some burlap sacks for another project with no luck… now on the double hunt for then!
It’s really nice! I like it. I just get nervous when I think of making something like that. Will you make me one?
