Diy Farmhouse Christmas Wreath

• My wreath foam was homemade, I made it for my Rustic Christmas Wreath and you can find the tutorial to make one if you want to save some money!

THE WREATH BASE

• Start wrapping the wreath foam with my light beige burlap ribbon. Cover about 70% of it.
• Secure the ends of the burlap ribbon with twine or yarn. This is a great way to secure it because you’ll be able to reuse the wreath foam and the burlap in the future so we don’t want to damage either of them.
• Then wrap the wreath with yarn overlapping the burlap on both ends. Here again using the same yar to secure the ends.
• When you reach the other end cut the yarn and tuck it into the yarn loops.
• The wreath base is ready!

THE RUFFLED SIDE

• For the ruffled part, take the natural color burlap ribbon, and ruffled the end.
• Place it over the light burlap but about 1 inch away from the yarn.
• Secured it with white yarn and don’t cut it just yet, you will be looping around to secure each ruffle section.
• Don’t worry about the yarn since it won’t be visible at all. You can also use a similar color twine.
• A few inches away ruffle again and place it anywhere close to the first ruffle.
• Wrap the yarn or twine a couple of times and tighten it.
• Keep doing the ruffle and wrap with yarn slightly switching sides until your burlap is over.
• When you reach the last end of your burlap, ruffle it and wrap it 2 or 3 times to secure it and then turn the wreath back side up.
• Make a knot like a half bow so you can untie it later.
• Ruffles done!

THE GREENERY SIDE

• Now, take one of your pine tree springs, and try to curve it a little to match the wreath shape.
• Then insert it into the yarn loops right below the ruffles.
• When you get it in the desired place, insert the other spring so it will look like a larger spring. I inserted it between the ruffles and the first sprig.
• You should get something like this:
• Cut a couple of strings of yarn, wire, or twine and secure your springs wrapping them to the back.
• What I did was find the central column of the springs and insert the yarn through the branches so it wouldn’t be visible and then tied a knot on the back.
• Then make a cute bow with a plaid ribbon (or your favorite one) and glue it to the cranberry spring and insert it through the yarn loops between tree springs and ruffles as well.
• When you like the position you are almost done.
• Time to place your Merry Christmas sign. Decide the place and position of your sign.
• Using strings of yarn secure the sign on the back of the wreath.
• Finally, use your plaid ribbon as a hanger for your wreath.
• Make a knot depending on how high you want your wreath to be on your door. Met hanger is long so I left a little ribbon at the top.
• I love bows on the hanger so I put in place the hanger and tied a pretty bow.
• You are all set! Let’s hang our gorgeous farmhouse Christmas wreath on the door!
