Patriotic Red, White & Blue Burlap Wreath

Every month I get together with some of my blogging friends to create a new seasonal wreath.
 
I love making wreaths with burlap, since it is so versatile, inexpensive and easy to work with. Plus, burlap  comes in so many fun colors and patterns!
 
This month, my friends at  BurlapFabric.com were kind enough to supply me with all of the burlap I needed for my wreath!
 
Plus, they have a gift for you, too! Use the code MOMHOMEGUIDE5 at BurlapFabric.com  to get $5 off any order above $5!
 

Simple Red, White & Blue Bubble Wreath

I’ve seen all sorts of burlap “bubble” wreaths on Pinterest, and have long been wanting to make one. A bubble wreath is a wreath made with burlap fabric and a wreath form — I made my wreath with a metal wreath form. For a bubble wreath, you create 3D loops of burlap for a multi-dimensional effect.

Materials

2-inch-wide white burlap ribbon

2-inch-wide-red ribbon

2-inch wide navy blue ribbon (I didn’t find navy navy blue burlap ribbon on  BurlapFabric.com, so I used 60-inch-wide navy blue burlap fabric (cut into 2-inch strips) instead.

Wire Wreath Form
Straight Pins (or you could use a Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks)
Scissors

How to Make a Burlap Bubble Wreath

I started out by tying on my blue burlap on and then alternated the red and white ribbon. I found the easiest way to make the loops (or “bubbles”) of ribbon was to tie a long strip of burlap onto the wreath, knotting it in the back. I then tied loose knots of burlap ribbon onto the metal wreath form, being sure not to tie the ribbon tight. (That way I could easily create big loops of burlap for my wreath.)

As I created my loose knots or loops, I bunch them together to form a tighter mass of burlap loops.crafting a burlap bubble wreath

I’ve read tutorials that say you can create a burlap bubble wreath in about 10 minutes. But honestly, I think mine took 45-60 minutes, or about an hour. I had trouble at first figuring out how to create stable looks of burlap that wouldn’t slide on my metal wreath form. (That’s where I found that creating loose knots is a good technique.)

My daughters say that this wreath is my best wreath so far this year!

I usually take my wreath apart each month and re-use the metal wreath form, but I might keep this wreath around for a while — it would work well for both Memorial Day and Fourth of July / Independence Day.

    You did your bubbles completely different than how I did them on my bubble wreath, but I used a foam wreath form. This is so cute and really could be used for all summer with Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day!

    Love all of ya’ll’s offerings this month. I just am so fumble-fingered lately, that I can’t seem to get anything crafty completed. Heed my advice, and don’t get old.

    I LOVE your Patriotic Wreath! Do you have any idea how much burlap you used? I have a group wanting to make them and I need to make sure I purchase enough burlap 🙂

      Hi, Beverly! I really didn’t use a lot of burlap. For the blue and white burlap, I purchased 10 yards of 2-inch ribbon, and I probably only use 3 yards of ribbon at most in each color. I hope this helps!
