Your directions are a little sketchy on the burlap wreath, on the flower part…couldn’t find a video on that…
Sorry I only have pictures and did the best I could.
I adore this wreath. I can see it hanging inside my big picture frame in my living room or on a door, or on one (or more) of my bedroom walls. Easy to make and super pretty. Thanks for giving such a clear-cut tutorial! Keep on inspiring us!
This would look great if you could use yellow burlap or fabric, spray the center brown and make it a sunflower. I haven’t bought burlap in years. Don’t know if it comes in colors.
You can find it in colors!
How much burlap do you need? A yard, 2/2 yard???
My squares are 10″ by 10″ and I used I believe 18. It will depend on how wide your burlap is. If it’s 52″ wide you could get 5 across and then would need 40″ in length. If your burlap is wider you wouldn’t need as long of a piece.
