How To Make A Burlap Wreath

<p>We make by our own hands a Christmas burlap wreath - decoration, inferior in importance only to a Christmas tree. The wreath will not be traditional: we will not use fragrant fir twigs. We will replace them with burlap. This fabric is used in the most unexpected way anywhere. In the right hands it is being transformed.</p> <p><strong>We prepare the materials:</strong></p> <ul><li> thick cardboard;</li><li> corrugated paper;</li><li> burlap;</li><li> jute;</li><li> cones;</li><li> white paint (acrylic, gouache);</li><li> multicolored felt (ready labels of felt);</li><li> decorative satin ribbons;</li><li> glue;</li><li> glue gun;</li><li> scissors;</li><li> stapler.</li></ul> <p>The order of making a Christmas burlap wreath.</p> <p>1. We prepare the base from cardboard- ring width of 8-10 cm.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/btz3cdTHGkWK2KRa182KdaZY2J8=/b3564d87b64e472eb2651900b6b1e6db"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/btz3cdTHGkWK2KRa182KdaZY2J8=/b3564d87b64e472eb2651900b6b1e6db" data-image="22975"></a></figure> <p>2. We securely strap the jute around the ring, forming a loop for future suspension.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/rPFUPMa1TOhOAr3aJmMLNyYUHrg=/bbd76be57d6d4036ba953f3cb7a45094"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/rPFUPMa1TOhOAr3aJmMLNyYUHrg=/bbd76be57d6d4036ba953f3cb7a45094" data-image="22976"></a></figure> <p>3. We glue over with corrugated paper the wrong side of the base.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/-D4i62oL2Db3RUYPzOsJ8Nr-J0g=/d025d7fbb90b45c2a19b894dc0f47fb7"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/-D4i62oL2Db3RUYPzOsJ8Nr-J0g=/d025d7fbb90b45c2a19b894dc0f47fb7" data-image="22977"></a></figure> <p>4. We cut burlap into small squares. Then turn each of them into a leaf: first fold the square in half, then fold the edge inside, fix by a stapler, threads and glue (as convenient).</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/wS6_Z6MRYQ9vUivKPb2AzbcTnp4=/dd0b1b5675f44c0098be34d12ea0788a"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/wS6_Z6MRYQ9vUivKPb2AzbcTnp4=/dd0b1b5675f44c0098be34d12ea0788a" data-image="22978"></a></figure> <p>5. Starting from the outer edge, fasten leaves around the perimeter of the ring. We use the gun with hot glue.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/FiEuL-IbQ0g3ZuPcxPRKu5Wqp6E=/2fdaeeb84cb5451db319dab046f2341e"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/FiEuL-IbQ0g3ZuPcxPRKu5Wqp6E=/2fdaeeb84cb5451db319dab046f2341e" data-image="22979"></a></figure> <p>6. Repeat two more times of the same series. Fasten staggered: so that the aesthetic side of the last leaf was hidden by the following one.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/8tb1F6thvpv49t2pGGcyuw4hGmU=/4080b91d241f463ba1599eabfda32faa"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/8tb1F6thvpv49t2pGGcyuw4hGmU=/4080b91d241f463ba1599eabfda32faa" data-image="22980"></a></figure> <p>7. We weave the braid of jute rope, with which we decorate the outer edge of the wreath. Knot the bows. We glue them in the center.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/cpSuqa_EFKey5ubkvxLxh7qeokU=/2bab01da881d40e7970937d7da66abaf"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/cpSuqa_EFKey5ubkvxLxh7qeokU=/2bab01da881d40e7970937d7da66abaf" data-image="22981"></a></figure> <p>8. Natural cones "we cover with snow": we paint the tips with white paint.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/R8xQh3szuE6npc5YxmU5C7RCH5w=/69013754dc6548bc92ce5d4fde8150d4"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/R8xQh3szuE6npc5YxmU5C7RCH5w=/69013754dc6548bc92ce5d4fde8150d4" data-image="22982"></a></figure> <p>9. We decorate a wreath with cones and figurines made of felt. We are using the hot glue for this.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gFmM0IeEkgiP1YbofN1-DsmBOsA=/3bf4e0bd592f428a8a0dccc5f2f9102e"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/gFmM0IeEkgiP1YbofN1-DsmBOsA=/3bf4e0bd592f428a8a0dccc5f2f9102e" data-image="22983"></a></figure> <p>10. We manufacture tassels of jute rope. We tie a double bow from the satin ribbons. This is the last step in the decoration of a Christmas burlap wreath.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/W30XRGT3D5c7_Kh0I0JlViY2KI0=/3aa495f53bf44928b7136db6c52b9c56"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/W30XRGT3D5c7_Kh0I0JlViY2KI0=/3aa495f53bf44928b7136db6c52b9c56" data-image="22984"></a></figure> <p>In your smart interior now you have a symbol of the earth, eternal life and light.</p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/LmnakOi6OX4FhZR_-YEW9h0_AQE=/b7974350ac2043fe8b9d1e8c8c129e1f"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/LmnakOi6OX4FhZR_-YEW9h0_AQE=/b7974350ac2043fe8b9d1e8c8c129e1f" data-image="22985"></a></figure>
