Has anyone made this?
Bought all specified materials and hoped to make (2) wreaths.
Did you cut burlap lengthwise-since I didn't know "how much" bought (4) yds.
It says to start from the back making concentric loops.does anyone have input?
Thanks for your help. |

Marsha, if you do make it, please post a picture. I'd love to see it, and to know how easy or hard it was to make. I love the picture.

Hip-hip-hooray!
Brian (from Mary Jane's) got back to me. Mary Lou was creative force behind the wreath and had very helpful hints.
Cut the 46" wide burlap (4 yd) into 4" wide strips (yes, 4yd lengths). Fold over end a few times, push wire through, then roll loosely tying with wire. Anchor to wire frame.
Going back and forth, make loops pulling to front (refer to cover photo).
I bought 10" wire frame at AC Moore then had to go to JoAnne's for burlap yardage.
All of this labor intensive and time consuming but they look great!
Am going to look for wooden toys to hot glue to wreath (or something homey-themed) and will post completed photos.
Yardage for both=$8.00 and frames less than $2.00 each,; wire paddle app. $1.98.
A shout-out to Brian and MaryLou! |

Kinda picture 4"wide ribbon-strips. Fold over end (accordion-style). Push wire through (light-weight perfect). Noe, make a noose several times. This gets anchored from the back of wire wreath and you're ready to start forming loops.
I didn't think it was as easy as an earlier poster claimed!
Hope this helps.
Maybe MaryLou will have an addendum in next issue. |
