Easy way to make a Burlap Wreath

Hi guys!
I've haven't had much time to post anything in past month, but only because we were going thru a major renovation at our house. 

I have wanted to make a wreath for the longest time now,but so much has been holding me back; like my 2 yards of burlap that took over a month to come in the mail. I could of just bought it at Michaels, which actually has 10ft for $12.99 (not bad if you use your 40% off Coupon.) Well by the time I got all my supplies I realized that it is too late to make a fall wreath so I tried going with Semi-Fall/Semi-Winter theme for our wreath.  

Supplies that you will need:
2 Yards of Burlap
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Foam Wreath Form
Pins

and... Lots of Patience

(I bought most of my supplies at Michaels) 



First cut a 2" strap of burlap
Then wrap it around the foam and use a hot glue to keep it sturdy 
 
Now comes the best part...jk. Cut about 2.5"-3" strands of burlap and then cut them into squares
Then fold each piece in half and then again in half (you should get a small square) and put about 2-3 pieces on your pin. Last step: stick the pin  into your foam wreath (I used hot glue gun to make sure each piece would hold tight)
I used exactly 100 pins (2 boxes) 
Last part was fun but probably the hardest for me (I have to have things too perfect) is mastering the Bow. If you need help with the bow, I'll probably make another blog on how to make it. 


So, here is how to make a pretty burlap wreath!!!



Enjoy!
