Welcome to Heather's House of Burlap. I feel an intervention coming. So I went to the grocery story and bought one of those Christmas wreaths with the cheap red bow on it for $9.00, and did a change up. First let me say how annoying is it when you drive somewhere to get something, and they don't have it. I wanted to get some burlap garland that they had at Michael's, and of course they didn't have any. I decided to go to the fabric store and buy some burlap and make my own. The garland at Michael's was like $3.59 for not that much. The fabric store wanted $2.99 a yard for burlap. I bought 4 yards, and decided to cut it into strips.
I know it's not very straight, but all you have to do is fringe the edges a little bit and it looks fine.
I wrapped burlap around the wreath, and then used some red tulle ribbon that I had to add a little attitude to it. I made a bow out of the burlap, and added a piece of greenery that I had. Here is the finished product.
It literally took 10 minutes, tops. Love it! Click on the pic for a close up.
