Ruffled Burlap & Jute Wreath {Interchangeable Embellishments}

I’m so excited to show you this wreath!  I made the wreath itself for $3. Yes, just three dollars.  I’ve been dreaming of making a burlap wreath for my spray painted front door, so I finally did it.   I also got the brilliant idea one day while in the shower {hello, don’t y’all get earth shattering ideas in the shower?} to make various embellishments for different holidays! Booyah!

Ruffled Burlap & Jute Wreath

You can make this wreath.  It’s so easy and I’m confident that you could make it under $10 at the very most.  SO frugal!

I used a wreath that I found at the ReStore for $1 {it had a $1.99 Big Lots tag on it}, 2 rolls of Jute from Dollar General, a scrap of burlap that I had on hand, upholstery thread {because it’s much stronger than standard thread} and hot glue.

I hot glued the end of jute down and started wrapping. It took a very long time to wrap the wreath. Wrap while watching a movie or some Netflix! The most frugal things aren’t always the fastest. But it was worth it…at least I think so!

I almost left it just wrapped in jute, but I decided it needed a ruffle. I love me some ruffles!

I had a strip of burlap from a previous project. It was 2 1/2 yards long and I cut it about 5″ wide.  Then I used upholstery thread and gathered up the fabric. To keep the upholstery thread from pulling through the open burlap, I used a bit of hot glue to keep it secured to the burlap.

I gathered the ruffle evenly and to a length that would fit the wreath’s circumference. Then I hot glued it on the back of the wreath.

I’m so happy with out my $3 wreath turned out, but it still needed some embellishments. I dug out scraps of ribbon, burlap and fabric and made these “flowers.”

In order to make the embellishments interchangeable, I hot glued velcro circles on the back of them as well as on the wreath.

I made a little St. Patrick’s Day clover hickey-do for the center of the wreath with my Silhouette machine.  Love that thing!  Do you see the velcro?

I kinda goofed when I realized that I hadn’t planned a good way to hang the wreath, but a little bit of floral wire did the trick. I wired it through the jute on the back.  It’s working really well…thankfully.

I added my scrappy, homemade embellishments and I’m in love.

Totally in love with my pretty burlap, jute wreath. The next set of embellishments will be for Spring!! Bring. it. on.

I have been self diagnosed with a burlap obsession.  Thank you for humoring me and putting up with it!

Have a mah-velous day y’all!
