Burlap Fall Wreath

Sometimes I pretend I'm crafty and attempt a project.  I actually enjoy making wreaths when I have the time, except I didn't have the time this week, I just keep procrastinating my math homework.  I love this wreath because it looks like I spent a lot of time on it but it only took me about two hours (most of the time was cutting the burlap squares).  So I watched the two new episodes of the Big Bang Theory and Modern Family and I was done!


What you need:

13-14" Styrofoam Wreath
2 Yards of Burlap
Ribbon
Pins
Good Fabric Scissors


Cut a 2" strip of burlap and wrap around the wreath
Cut the rest of the burlap into 3x3" squares


Fold each square in half and in half again
Place a pin in the corner and attach to the wreath


Repeat the above step with each square until your wreath is covered
(I only covered the front and not the back)


Take ribbon and cut in different lengths (to get different size flowers) 
Tie a knot at the top of the ribbon
Take the knot and keep twisting around and around in circles until it forms a flower
(I kept hot glueing every time I went around so that it wouldn't come undone)
Hot glue the flowers to the wreath


And there it is! Cute and Simple!
