How to Make a Burlap Wreath for Christmas
This wreath starts out with a basic wire wreath frame. You can pick these up at your local craft store or I like to order mine on Amazon.
Burlap ribbon is the base and it really makes it nice and full.
And if you don’t already have a hot glue gun, you will need one of those to attach the berries and pine cones. I have a regular size one and also a mini one that I love. (You can see several here).
The Believe sign is really darling on the wreath. You will need a little chalk paint to complete this look. I keep this paint on hand because I use it for so many projects!

How to make a Christmas Wreath:
1. Place your wreath form onto a flat surface and fold one end of your burlap in quarters. Slide a small piece of wire through the end and attach it to the inside portion of the wire frame by twisting it on tightly.
2. Begin to weave the burlap into each section of the frame. Start from the inside of the frame and move to the outside. As you put the burlap into each section of the wreath form, pucker it out so it forms a bubble.
3. Once finished, grab the 3 loops and squish them together in your hand. Flip over the wreath so you are now working on the back of the frame. Twist the loose end of the burlap 3 times, and push the burlap through the sections of the wire frame again.
>4. Repeat the process of scrunching, holding and twisting the burlap. I placed 3 sets of burlap loops into each of my 6 sections on my wire frame.
5. As you repeat this process, look at the wreath and fluff the burlap, making sure the loops are about the same size and look okay.
>6. When you are finished, cut the burlap if necessary. Fold the end in quarter just like you did initially. Slide a small piece of floral wire onto the frame and affix it to the frame by twisting tightly.
7. Add the santa suit by attaching with hot glue. Tuck in some pine cones and gold beads. Attach with hot glue or simply weave into the burlap.
8. Paint the wood sign with 2 coats of chalkboard paint, letting dry between each coat.
9. Add water to red acrylic paint to lightly wash the wood sleigh cutout. Let dry completely. Attach the sleigh to the sign with hot glue. Attach the sign to the wreath with hot glue. Write on the sign with chalk. (Believe, Joy to the World, Be Merry, etc). Tuck additional pine cones and gold berries around the sign.
