Halloween Burlap Wreath

Wreaths are an elegant ornament that effortlessly spices up your home decor. They are also an easy DIY craft! You’ll need square pieces of burlap (whatever colors you choose), T pins, glue and a large wreath form. For instructions, click here. To achieve a Halloween feel, combine natural burlap with a decorative ribbon or other burlap colors (oranges, blacks and browns). Use our plaid orange burlap fabric for an extra decorative display. Make your design your own by adding additional touches, such as a bow on top, or cut-out of a ghost or pumpkin in the middle.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_single_image image=”80023″ style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”orange”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Pumpkintime Burlap Door Hangers

Door hangers are another fun way to get in the holiday mood. These are great for kids’ rooms and the front door.

To make your door hanger, you’ll need a large piece of paper (or newspaper) to sketch your shape, burlap fabric, pencil and pen, scissors, hot glue gun, aluminum wire, stuffing (paper, plastic grocery bags or cotton will work), paint if needed, and any other desired decorative materials.
