Fall Burlap and Flower Wreath

The last week of August is totally a legit time to bring up the Fall decorations from the basement, right? I know it’s 105 degrees outside but I just can’t help myself.

Well while digging through the basement boxes I noticed I needed a new wreath for our front door (I somehow lost our old one in the move). So here’s my first Fall craft, just in time for Labor Day weekend HA!

fall flower and burlap wreathThis wreath was SUPER EASY to make. Trust me.

  • Fake flowers
  • Straw wreath still in the plastic
  • Greenery pins
  • Roll of burlap
  • Fall ribbon

Then you then have the hole where the stem once fit inside the flower. Stick one side of a greenery pin through the flower hole and attach to the wreath. So much better than trying to hot glue!

I bet this entire wreath took me less than 30 minutes.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that tip about the pins and the flower. I love wreaths on my door all year, so that little tip will be so helpful any time of the year!

    My favorite things….quick and inexpensive. I wonder how much you spent for the supplies altogether?

      Burlap roll $3.50 from Walmart. Straw wreath form $5 from Michael’s (on sale from $8). Flowers from Dollar General (about $5 total). Ribbon I think around $4 from Michael’s. And greenery pins I buy in bulk!

        Do you find greenery pins at the Michaels as well?

      • howtonestforless says

        Yes! Near the wreath holders.

    This wreath was so easy and fun to make. If you don’t know how to make a bow ask someone at Michael’s or watch YouTube video. It only took me two hours while watching the Voice on my DVR. I used the burlap with the geo-mesh combined for a little more flare. Thanks again for sharing this easy door project. I can’t wait for the neighbors to ask where I bought it from.

    this is an amazing wreath! Do u happen to remember approximately how many flowers you used? The nearest dollar store/ micheals is a two hour drive I wanted to make sure I had enough.

    Thanks

    • howtonestforless says

      I think I used about 4-5 bunches. It will depend on the size of the flowers you use though. The fuller the flower, the better the coverage. Good luck!

    Beautiful wreath! Thanks for showing how to use pins. I have always hot glued but since I moved & my front door faces west, it’s been a disaster. My wreaths melt, particularly this time of the year. I thought I’d have to give up on wreaths but yay! now I’ll just pin them. Thank You So Much!

    Love this wreath, and what a great tip for the flowers. Do these (or any) flowers hold up in full sun without fading? Thanks!

    • howtonestforless says

      I use cheap flower so they always seem to fade over time. With the pinning in place method though they’re VERY easy to replace years down the road!

      • edith says

        thanks! Gonna go for it!

    What did you use to hang it? Is there anything on the back of it?

    • carmen says

      Depending on the hook, you don’t have to put anything on the back to hang it because you can let it hang on the wreath itself or even stick the hook in the wreath form itself.
