Hello bloggin' friends! While shopping at Hobby Lobby this weekend; I ran across the most beautiful rosette burlap wreath. I thought to myself -- this would be perfect hanging on the sweetheart table for the wedding! Then I saw the price -- $49.00. Too steep for me. (Especially since it was only about 10 inches tall.) So -- I set out to make my own. I already had tons of burlap and a styrofoam wreath from a left over project. I gathered my Styrofoam wreath, hot glue gun, scissors, and began cutting strips of burlap 2 inches by 24 inches long. I wrapped the wreath in burlap to cover the white part. Next, I watched lots of youtube videos on how to make burlap rosettes. None of them seemed to turn out right for me. I just kept playing with my burlap until I got my roses to look the way I wanted them. Last, I attached them to the wreath form with pearl tipped floral pins. I was really happy with the way it turned out! It's bigger than the Hobby Lobby one -- and ALOT cheaper!
Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again soon!
