Burlap Wreath Tutorial

Yesterday in my christmas craft  post I said I'd give you a little tutorial on how to make one of these pretty burlap Advent wreaths:
So firstly, pop Mr Buble's christmas album on and pour yourself some festive bubbles!

Cut 3 x 1m length strips of burlap and wrap the entire foam ring, fastening with small nails. (nails hold better than pins)

Cut approximately 80 squares (12 x 12cm)

Fold them in half

and half again

place nail through all folds and into foam ring

The nails should be spaced about 1 inch apart.

Fill the wreath up, leaving a gap for the bow.

Nail/pin bow in place.

Then using two natural coloured burlap squares, as above, plump up the bow loops.

Plump up the bow loops.

Fill in the gaps with more red squares.

Nail in a small ribbon/loop at the back for hanging.

and

Voila!

Merry Christmas

With Love
