DIY Burlap Christmas Wreath + Tips and Resources

Do you enjoy making wreaths? We have made all types of grapevine wreaths and now I am sharing how to make a Burlap Christmas Wreath. This tutorial and guide will walk you through how to make your own DIY Burlap Christmas Wreath. Plus, we have included video tutorials that will help you make your own.

This is an easy wreath to make for the Christmas season. The Christmas wreath is made with a two-colored burlap ribbon and a wired frame and then decorated with ornaments, poinsettias, pine cones, and ribbons for the holiday wreath accents. You can make it with one color of the burlap ribbon for the wreath if you prefer.

DIY Burlap Christmas Wreath

This DIY Burlap Wreath can be made with one color or two colors. It's up to you. To make it festive, pick out decorations and ribbons to add to the Burlap Christmas wreath!

It won't take you long once you see how easy it is to loop the burlap fabric in and out through the frame! Once it's done, it's ready to hang in your home! Or give it to someone as a gift.

A Christmas wreath can be stored and used for years.

Burlap Christmas Wreath Supplies

• 14-inch Wire Wreath Frame
• Burlap Ribbon – Green 1 roll and Red 1 roll (Or if you prefer Natural Color Burlap Ribbon)
  Note: When picking out the ribbon, the wider the roll (4 inches-6 inches wide ribbon), the bigger the loop. The smaller the width of the roll (2.5 inches-3.5 inches), the tighter the loop. The overlock stitching will make it look finished, whereas unfinished edges on the burlap ribbon will fray and look more rustic.
• Faux Poinsettia floral picks with Pine Cones
• 2 different Wired Ribbons for making ribbon tails and bows for the wreath. But not for looping. Or grab a Christmas–wired ribbon set for all your wreaths and Christmas decorating projects!
• Santa Ornament (or another focal ornament like this two-pack Santa and Snowman (I picked up the Santa face on the sleigh at the Dollar Store). But I listed a few options, or you can shop at your local hobby store or Target's Christmas Dollar Spot.

Tools You Will Need

• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Pipe cleaner or Floral Wire for connecting the burlap at the ends.
• Craft Scissors
• Optional Floral Wire Cutters Set or Wire Cutters.

How To Make A Burlap Christmas Wreath

Step-by-Step Instructions for making a Burlap Christmas Wreath

Gather your supplies and protect your table surface

1. Get out all your supplies. Set your frame on a work table or a covered table for working on.

Make a wired look on the back for hanging

1. You can make a wired loop and secure it to the top/back for hanging the wreath, or do that at the end on the back of your wire wreath.

Looping the burlap to make the wreath and finishing it off

1. Begin with one colored burlap and begin looping fabric in and out of the wired frame as demonstrated in this video (HOW TO MAKE A TWO COLORED DIY BURLAP WREATH). Or use this technique, but you will also need to get extra burlap and twist ties. (DIY Burlap Wreath) I used the first technique.
2. After you finish making your wreath, secure the ends and fluff your fabric loops. This makes the “bubble design” and your wreath look fluffy.
3. Then you are ready to add your decorations and ribbons to the top and into the burlap.

Adding the decorations and embellishments to the wreath and finishing it

1. Decide where you would like your decorations and begin securing them carefully with your hot glue gun. (Use tweezers or Finger Protectors like this)
2. Cut your ribbons with dovetail ends, make bows if you like, and glue them onto the burlap wreath!
3. When you are happy with the decorations, stop, step back, and fill any holes. And then you are done.

Now your wreath is ready to hang

Now your wreath is ready to hang! Pick a spot in your home or entryway to hang it. Stay tuned, I have another holiday wreath coming up soon!

Store your wreath for next year by using a Christmas Wreath Storage Bag. They come in different sizes and prices, and are worth owning.
