After seeing burlap used in a variety of ways the last couple of years I wasn't easily convinced. It usually doesn't take me too much time to embrace a new concept for decorating and crafting but the burlap just didn't speak to me...that is until I found this cute wreath
HERE. She has a really great tutorial on how to make this.
She used a simple metal wreath base (which I just happened to have in my
crap craft stash. I found a 10 yard roll of burlap at Michael's that had the edges finished so it wouldn't fray for $6.99.
Here is my completed burlap wreath...............but wait there is more!
I had played around with some felt and made these flowers a couple of months ago and wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them.
They worked perfect for my fall wreath. I also tucked in a few fall silk leaves.
Here is a shot without the leaves. I think I like it better with the leaves.
And there you have my very first burlap craft. Now fall needs to hurry up and get here so I can put it on my front door.

Ya, that's speaking to me. I did burlap for a couple of Christmas things last year and I loved it.
That is adorable. You have inspired me.
Watch out....I need some burlap!!!
I love your wreath! I feel the same about burlap, it grows on you sooner or later. I also wish Fall would hurry and get here. I'm looking forward to cooler weather! Have a great weekend! :)
Ooh, the wreath with the leaves looks great. I love fall. It's going to be awhile for us though. Today's expected temp is up to 112- 113*F,
I love burlap wreaths! You done good!
Really cute! I have loved burlap for years, even before it became the huge craze. Maybe it's time I made a new wreath for the front door!
