It’s been almost a month since the kids have started school. The past few weeks of getting settled into a new routine left me with no crafting time. Can we say…serious crafting withdrawals?! Now that things are settled, I can share my first fall craft of 2015. The inspiration of this wreath came from a wreath that I saw at Joann’s craft store. The cost was over $35 and I knew it would be easy to replicate something similar for less, so here is my less expensive version.
Fall Burlap Ribbon Wreath Supplies:
- wreath form ( I used a 12″ wire form, but have used a pool noodle too)
- 2 1/2″ wired burlap ribbon (Walmart)
- scissors
- hot glue/glue gun
- burlap fabric or painter’s cloth
- flowers (Dollar Tree has great fall flowers)
How to put together:
Step 1 –
Cut 1 1/2″ strips of cloth to wrap around the wreath form. I used several strips of painter’s cloth remnants to cover my wire wreath form.
Step 2 –
The size of the wreath form will determine the amount of cut burlap ribbon needed. For the 12″ wire wreath form, I used 9 – 3 1/2″ pieces for the top, 9 – 3″ pieces for the outside, and 9 – 2 1/2″ pieces for the inside.
Step 3 –
Accordion fold one side of all the cut ribbons and glue together.
Step 4 –
Glue the 3 1/2″ ribbons in the center of the wreath. Space the ribbons about 2 1/2″ to 3″ apart.
Step 5 –
To cover the outer edge of the wreath, glue the 3″ burlap ribbons at an angle under the ribbon running down the center. Aim the lower edge to just meet the wreath form.
Step 6 –
Using the 2 1/2″ ribbon, repeat this step for the inner wreath edge.
Step 7 –
Glue flowers onto the empty space on the wreath. Hang on a hook.
And now it’s done! For under $10, I now have unique Fall Burlap Ribbon Wreath!
Here is one that I made using a pool noodle…
To make the wreath using a pool noodle, make sure to wrap the entire noodle with fabric or the hot glue will melt it. The steps are the same as above, but the ribbon strips will need to be cut longer to cover the sides of the wreath. I also used two colors of burlap ribbon for this wreath.

Thanks Dee. When I first started making these, I almost stopped before finishing because it didn’t look quite right. I’m glad I stuck to it and made adjustments because it turned out pretty neat…lol.
That is awesome! I wish I had your skills. I usually buy mine unless they’re super easy to make. I might try making yours.

Thanks Shirley. I love burlap and sunflowers any time of the year 🙂
I always have a wreath on my door during the christmas season but I think this year I need to make a cute fall one. I love how simple this is to make but how gorgeous it looks on the door.
I love to make a wreath for each season. It’s so easy to do and a quick way to make a big impact.

Fall and burlap just go together, don’t they? I love mine and I love yours, too! Yours is a little different and so beautiful – looking forward to making it. I get “in the mood” for DIY projects in the fall and this is a great one. Gorgeous!

Thanks, I like the sunflowers too. Yes, it’s super simple to make.
You know what impressed me most? There is not a lot of fall coloring in this but I like it so very much – it is simple and can go anywhere.
Thanks Carol. I wanted to keep this wreath simple, but I may add some other flowers closer to Thanksgiving.
I love DIY Projects. Burlap is such a fun and easy material to work with. So much can be created. I think this burlap ribbon wreath came out great
I love to work with burlap too. I love that wired ribbon can be shaped and it’s really easy to work with.
Wow that is so pretty. This would be such a welcoming decoration to have out on the door.
Thanks Liz. I have the last one on the front door and the smaller one in the house.
That is so pretty. Love the burlap. Fall can’t get here fast enough for me!

What a cute wreath. I love how the sunflower makes it pop.
Thanks. I wanted to use a flower that could work from summer to late Fall and I think the sunflower is perfect.
This is such a cute wreath!! Perfect for fall! I would love to have it on my classroom door!!
Thank you. I used the 12″ wire wreath form and it’s the perfect size for a classroom door. It’s light enough to hang from a 3M hook too.
I love this, it came out adorable! It looks so fresh and clean, perfect for Fall and for Spring!
Thank you. It’s definitely something different that I’ve never done before.

So cute! I love both versions and with this one I love the way you layered the burlap and you can’t beat making it for under $10.
