Burlap Wreaths

I decided to make a few burlap wreaths to sell in my home decor store (Wisteria Lane) in Senoia.  I bought a 24" styrofoam wreath ring at Hobby Lobby.  I picked this red color burlap to make the wreath with.

You will need a hot glue gun and a screw driver or some thing to push the burlap into the wreath. You will make a hole in the styrofoam fill with hot glue then push your burlap into the hole. I cut 4" X 4" squares since my burlap was 4 inches wide.  When I finish I will let you know how many squares I cut to make this wreath.
You can see where I started on the top working my way around the styrofoam. Then I filled in along the outside of the styrofoam moving to the inside last. I put black felt on the back of my wreath instead of covering the back with burlap. You should cover your wreath in burlap fist by wrapping the burlap around the wreath. I was short on burlap and decided to put felt on the back.
This is what the wreath should look like just before you finish.
