ADDING EMBELLISHMENTS TO YOUR BURLAP PUMPKIN WREATH:

 

STEP 9

Now that you’ve finished the hard part, it’s time for some fun…

Take those Fall embellishments and start hot gluing them onto your wreath.

Whatever doesn’t stay with a little hot glue, I use some simple Sewing pins to better secure them onto the form.

*For this burlap pumpkin wreath I used the Chicken wire to form my stem and then pinned and hot glued to attach.

The I finished it off by attaching some green burlap ribbon, the burlap leaves, and then hot glued a lot more of the Fall Floral embellishments until I had it just the way I wanted it

 

STEP 10:

In order to finish off your burlap pumpkin wreath, I typically use the last of my cut burlap squares and hot glue them to the back of the wreath form.

This is not a necessity, but I feel it’s part of the finishing touches and is also another way to help prevent any exposed burlap corners on the back of your wreath from fraying over time.

And there you have it! This petal technique is definitely a great way to use texture to add another level of visual interest in your wreaths.

  1. Love this wreath, thanks for sharing!! Do you think this wreath could be made using a pool noodle as a base instead of the pay form? The area I’m located in is currently under lockdown so my dollar store is inaccessible at the moment. Thanks in advance for any reply! Jo-Anne 🇨🇦

  2. How many burlap squares did you need to complete this project? How many rolls of burlap (length and width) did it take? Thank You!

  3. Just beautiful, will definitely put this high on my want to do list. Thank you for sharing the step by step how to!

  4. Do you think that you could make this pumpkin wreath using inch burplap ribbon? Just curious because that is what I have found in the stores.

    1. I appreciate that. It does involve a bit of time cutting and pinning, but I think the time is definitely worth it. I love the texture this technique makes. Good luck with yours!!
