Burlap Wreath
















1 Kings 9:8-9
8 And this house will become a heap of ruins. Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?' 9 Then they will say, 'Because they abandoned the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the LORD has brought all this disaster on them.'" 

I bought this burlap from Michael's.
It comes in a roll and it will take several rolls depending on the size you want to make.
I used a wire wreath base.
You gather the burlap in your hand to make a
loop, tie off the bottom to help it hold it's shape, then keep doing this
until you get to the end of all the rolls you will
use to make your wreath!
In between each loop tie the loops to the wire frame.
The loops need to be close together.
After you finish, twist and turn until
you get the desired look.
