Burlap Christmas Wreath

Hi!

This year I decided to use the same burlap wreath I used for Fall ,just updating the chevron bow It is now red and not so pretty:(.

I also added some Christmas bells. To make it more festive. Christmas is here!

Despite the sloppy job I did in the chevron, I like it anyways:)

An Old Case Revamped with Burlap

Hi!

A while ago, I bought his case, suitcase, cytlery box, I dunno exactly what it is, at my local most favourite thrift store in the whole wide world:).

I did not have a clue what to do with it tough, lol.

But I had my eye on that hardware, simply loved it (italian!!). Maybe reuse it and throuw the "box"away

Well, it had been forgotten in my house for months, when a trip to Michael's gave me the idea , finally, what to do with it.

Some of you who follow this blog know that I love to spray paint everything ! But somehow I did not want to spray pain this one.

When I saw this gorgeous burlap at Michael's I knew it!

$ 6.99! Nice price for an unique decor piece uh?

Cover it!! With spray (!!) adhesive, the job was done in no time.

I spray painted (!!haha!!) the hardware and the box?case? cutlery box? suitcase?

It sits now in my living room, spreading its charm everywhere :)

Burlap Wreath

Hi!

I love wreaths, love making them for each season, and this year I wanted a burlap one. Well, I love burlap. This is why:)

Browsing for inspiration , I saw this on Etsy , fell in love , but resisted the urge to buy it, as it is a bit pricey ( but hey, I see now, it is a lot of work:) .

I decided to make one.

By the way this shop has the most beautiful wreaths I have ever seen.

Material:

- Foam form from Michaels. Use your 50% cupon and you get it for $ 4.99. wink wink!

- Burlap - You wil need 1 yard. Cheap!

- Safety pins, I used the ones without the head. Lots of them.

- Scissors.

Star by making lots and lots of 5 " squares with the burlap

Fold in a rectangle ( lengthwise) and then as above.

Start attaching them to the foam with the safety pins. This is what I love about this, no glue, no mess, so clean looking!

It took me a good hour of ( not so hard) work, but so worthy!

My burlap wreath for Fall!!

Make a cute bow with whatever you like ( i used the burlap, but you can use any beautiful fabric, ribbon, you name it)

I may change the bow if I find cute painted burlap ..or paint some..let's see, will updated it for you girls, if this is the case:)

Happy Fall!

HEY!!! I decided to update it and painted some burlap ( check here) in a chevron pattern. Some colour but still chic and rustic, I 'd say?
