How to Make a Burlap Halloween Wreath

Learn how to make a burlap Halloween wreath using a wire wreath form and burlap ribbon to add a festive touch to your Halloween decor!

Materials

  • Wire Wreath Form
  • Burlap Ribbon
  • Scissors, Hot Glue Gun

Instructions

  • Using the general technique used in this burlap ribbon wreath tutorial, weave the ribbon over, under, over, and under the wires in the wreath frame.
  • I worked with two colors of ribbon, first threading the black one through the frame and then the orange.
  • Come back again the other way with the black and followed with the orange.
    Over, under, over, under. Snugging up the burlap to prevent any gaps.
  • Keep threading the ribbon onto the wreath frame as you go around the circle.
  • When the whole wreath is covered with woven burlap, there should be two remaining tails of ribbon - one of each color. Tie a bow with those two remaining burlap ribbon tails to finish off the wreath.
  • Trim the two tails of the burlap ribbon below the bow, so the edges are neat and clean. Your Halloween wreath is finished!

Notes

  • You can use any type, shape, or size wire wreath form to make this wreath. You just need to use a wire wreath form so you can weave the ribbon through it.
  • You can use burlap ribbon that is wired or non-wired, in any shape and color you want. Just make sure your ribbon is at least 1.5" wide so there is sufficient material to create the fun texture as you weave.
  • PRO TIP: If you finish weaving the wreath and don't have any extra ribbon to tie off into a bow, you can finish the wreath by hot gluing the ribbon ends to the back like we did in the original DIY burlap ribbon wreath, and then tie a ribbon bow onto the wreath separately.
