DIY Rustic Burlap Christmas Wreath

• Since the pool noodle is used to being mostly straight, you need to train it to go in a circle. To do this, you just need to bend it. I had a little one help me a bit.

STEP 1: MAKING THE DIY WREATH FORM

• Just bend it one way and another, being careful not to make creases or kinks. You might need an extra pair of hands for this though!
• Bending the pool noodle into an spiral
• I decided to give it time so I created kind of a spiral and place it inside a box where it fit and left it for a couple of days.
• Once the pool noodle is retrained, you are ready to put it all together.
• Insert the hose piece into the pool noodle on both ends and make both pool noodle ends meet.
• Tape it up!
• Taping up both ends of the pool noodle together to close the wreath form
• Work it a bit so it gets as circular as possible.
• There you go! Now you have your inexpensive foam wreath form.

STEP 2: WRAP THE WREATH FORM!

• We are going to make two sections of the wreath form. one for the light burlap and another one for the natural burlap.
• Using your light beige burlap ribbon start warping your foam form. I overlapped every half of the ribbon so the pool noodle color wouldn’t show up and also wrapped it from one end of duct tape to the other.
• I used a couple of rolls of burlap ribbon for this section.
• Finish up wrapping over the duct tape with your natural burlap ribbon. It should take more than 1 roll.
• I did it like this because most of the decoration I used was darker, especially the bow so it would match.
• Use twine strings to secure the ends of your burlap ribbon by making a couple of loops and making a tight knot. Or you can use pins if you prefer.
• Our foam form is covered!

STEP 3: DECORATE YOUR RUSTIC DIY WREATH

• Now, take your decorated burlap sprays and bend the stem so they get a round shape like your foam form.
• Place 2 of them on each side of your natural burlap ribbon space. Play with the composition as you think is best for you.
• Secure them with a strip of twine. Use one on each end and one around the center. Adjust positions as needed.
• Insert your cranberries and pinecones spray decor between both branches to add pops of color making sure it fits into the twine too.
• You can add small tree ornaments here or any type of decor if you like to give it your own twist.
• Repeat the process on the other side and place your burlap bow in the middle.
• Also, tie it up with a twine strip.

STEP 4: FINAL TOUCH, THE HANGER

• Time to add your plaid ribbon…
• Now, take the decor you chose to hang inside and place it where you want it to be, and secure it with a twine strip in place.
• Finally, run your plaid ribbon through the wreath and over your hanging decor hanger. Join the ends at the top and tie them into a bow. I did the bow with the wreath already on the door to tie it well to the wreath hanger.
• There you go! Your Rustic Burlap Christmas Wreath is now ready to be hung.
