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!
- Wire Wreath Form
- Burlap Ribbon
- Scissors, Hot Glue Gun
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!
- 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.
