Easy No-Sew Burlap Rose Wreath

I am excited to join the no-sew gang for our No-Sew Showcase for May. And…since it is May and flowers are in order, I thought I would show you how to make a wreath with no-sew burlap roses!

My assistant, Miss Isabella, loves burlap! It’s practical, cheap and adds lots of texture…and it’s just plain fun! That makes this wreath an easy and inexpensive way to welcome your spring and summer guests into your home!

Here’s what you will need:

• Straw wreath form
• Strips of natural burlap to cover the wreath (1/2 yard should be more than enough)
• Strips of brightly colored burlap to create the roses (I used pink, orange and yellow…1/4 yard of each)
• Two squares of green felt for the leaves
• Stapler
• Hot glue gun
• Jute twine to hang the wreath

 And here’s what you will do:

1. First, cover the wreath form with strips of burlap, always starting and ending each strip at the back for a more finished look, wrapping at an angle and stapling them in place as you go. Next, create the burlap roses following the instructions that you will find here. Then cut the leaves from felt. I drew them freehand and adjusted the size to fit the size of my roses.
2. Now you are ready to attach the roses. I placed them without gluing them until I had an arrangement that I liked. Then I secured them in place with hot glue. Be careful! I like to use a bamboo skewer to press down so I don’t get burned.
3. Next you will create the leaves. First, fold down one end about 1/4 of the way and hot glue in place. Next, you will fold in from the two sides and secure with hot glue.
4. Your finished leaf should look something like this when you are through. This is to give a little dimension to your leaves.

Now simply tuck your finished leaves around the wreath then hot glue them in place and…taaa daaa!…a pretty wreath that you can use not only in the spring but all summer as well!

Mine will be hanging on my back door to greet all of my favorite “back door” friends and my family! I love how colorful and happy it is!

And just in case you need a few more no-sew ideas, here are my no-sew basket liners…perfect for storage or for serving flatware for your guests.

Or how about my French farmhouse numbered napkins to add a little frenchiness to your table or to serve as a fun and easy handmade gift.
