DIY Burlap Rudolf Wreath

So I saw the rudolf wreath on pinterest and fell in love! I thought it was shabby chic,  elegant but also kid friendly. Unfortunately, it cost WAY more money than I was willing to spend. I had a friend who posted an adorable burlap wreath on Instagram. I told her I wanted one but she told me it was super easy to make!

This is where my eyes light up and my husband cringes. Haha. Craft time!

I knew I wanted to make rudolf so I used the picture, some advice from a friend and my own intellect to make him! I am so happy with the result!!!

What you need:

40ft burlap 

A wire floral wreath

One sparkly ornament

Sparkly things that can resemble antlers (mine were smaller than I wanted but it was all the craft store  around me had)

Floral wire or a pipe cleaners

What to do:

Take your wire or pipe cleaner and weave it through your burlap.

Secure your burlap to the wreath so that it won't slide.

Unravel your entire roll of burlap and weave it through going under, over, under, over.

You then need to pull your burlap up and fluff it. Make sure to fluff in 3 spots: the top, middle and bottom.... You don't want it wrapped tightly at any turn. I'm stressing this because I didn't know this until I figured it out on accident half way through. 

I do 4 rows of weaving in every section on the wreath. This is what it looks like if you were to have if snug.

The long tail of burlap can be a pain to deal with it just try. Ot to snag it while you are up,long it through. It also makes a typical burlap mess. My OCD husband wasn't a fan but it's really not bad... Just warning you! If you're allergic to burlap I suggest doing it outside or using the plastic wreath stuff they have out these days... No idea what it is called but it's at most craft stores. 

Secure the end of it like you did the beginning (weave the wire through then secure it).

Now secure your ornament on with wire also! Weave your antlers through the metal wreath... This should hold well but you could do extra securing if you want!

Hang and Enjoy!
