If you remember, a few weeks back I posted a Textile Tuesday featuring burlap wreath designs. I was so inspired by the many designs that I crafted my own burlap wreath just in time for my fall door.
It was really quite easy and only took about 15 minutes to do the whole thing. I watched this great You Tube video on how to make the wreath and I was off and running in just a few minutes.

I purchased my burlap ribbon on a 10 yard roll, wreath form, and florists wire at Wal Mart. I found the great orange and burlap chevron ribbon at Hobby Lobby on a half off sale. I found the cute pumpkin plaque at Michael’s where I bought it for 40% off. Overall, this project was very affordable coming in at less than $20 for the whole thing.
I tried to pick really easy to work with colors for fall, because while I was at Michael’s buying the pumpkin plaque I also found a great Thanksgiving one on the same sale. I didn’t attach the plaque to the wreath. Instead, because it had a hanging wire attached, I just hooked it on my wreath holder before hooking the wreath on.
After Halloween is over I plan on just changing the plaque to a cute Thanksgiving one carrying the wreath all the way through Thanksgiving. Next spring I will pull the wreath out again, change out the orange ribbon for something more springy and get more miles out of this wreath. I call that a good investment.

Really liked the wreath. Great idea to make it work for more than one holiday. It would look great with shells on it for summer too
Thanks Marilyn! It looks so cute on the front door.
