Chevron burlap wreath

Okay I must confess... I'm a chevron addict. I don't know how or when this happened,  all I know is that it has taken over my house.......fabric, picture frames, pillows...( I need to stop!)

   I love the look of burlap wreaths but the original color was just a little to "prim" for my style so I spiced it up a little when I saw this printed burlap in rolls.


 Hobby Lobby has several prints and now that they offer online shopping with their coupon codes, anyone can take advantage of their great pricing.
And let's face it..... I love this Christian based company and the values they have.

Here is what you will need=

Metal wreath form (mine was a 22 inch ) $ 3.49, you can go smaller if you want

3 rolls of 5/8 inch burlap if your choice ($4.99 roll, it was 50% off) score!! If you have a smaller wreath frame or larger buy accordingly

Wooden letter of your choice, $1.99

Spray paint, free in my stash

First I would go outside and take your letter, spray paint a light coat of paint and come back inside to relieve yourself of the fumes.

 I have been doing a little too much spray painting lately... whew!!

The second step is to take the roll of burlap and gather a bit in your fingers and push some through the other side of the wreath.  Take roughly the same amount and repeat, staggering as you go.

I like to bunch it to the left push through, bunch it to the right, push through... gathering roughly the same amount in your hand each time.

 Keep going...... and going.... you get the idea...

This is what one roll looked like completed. To start the new roll just repeat the beginning of the process.  There really is no wrong way to do this :) Well maybe I'm doing it the wrong way, but I like to live on the wild side...

Now that your living on the edge, go give your letter another coat of paint...

Ta-da!!! All 3 roll on this baby....

 Added my letter M, don't mind the faded burgundy door, this has a new face lift now to a rockin' gray!

Pay no attention to the baby behind the glass!! ( he was mad I stepped outside to snap this picture) lol

Enjoy this wreath!  I love the way it turned out and I think it is a great project for anyone wanting to give wreath making a try.

 Besides these sell on etsy for an upwards of $80 so forget that business (unless that's your business) :)

  I made mine for under $25!
