Materials
- Wire wreath form (mine was 18")
- Fabric (I used about 2.5-3 yards)
- Scissors
Method
The fabric strips are about 1" x 6", which I cut free hand. I eyeballed the length and width--no measuring, no straight edge. I "started" each strip by cutting a little and then tore it the rest of the way. This resulted in straighter strips than when I cut them free hand and was faster than cutting them all the whole way through.
It took me about two episodes of Downton Abbey to finish cutting the strips. After I cut all of the strips I began tying them onto my wreath. Tying the burlap was the hardest part since it isn't very forgiving.
I just keep tying them on until it looked full enough to me. The tying part took another two episodes of Downton.
Tie a pretty ribbon on the top, and you're done!
