DIY Burlap Wreath

For this project, I started with a 12″ foam wreath, and 2″ wide strips of burlap.  (You can cut burlap fabric yourself or buy it pre-cut like I did).  Wrap burlap around the foam wreath, slightly overlapping, until entire wreath is covered.  Secure end piece in back with two straight pins.

Displaying or wearing poppies (also known as “remembrance flowers”) are one of the many ways you can honor the men and women who have given their lives for our country this Memorial Day.

I used my DIY red felt poppy tutorial to make the poppies.  I made one large poppy, one medium poppy, and one small poppy, securing them with long strands of twine which I tied around the wreath and knotted in the back.

Mini Denim Bunting with Painted “USA” Letters

Lastly, I used my painted denim bunting tutorial to make the USA mini bunting at the top.  Each denim piece is 1.5″ wide x 3″ long, with a little notch cut out of the bottom.  I used 1″ letter stencils to paint the letters on, strung white grosgrain ribbon through little slits I cut in the top corners, and secured the ribbon to the back of the wreath using straight pins.

A piece of 1.5″ red and white striped ribbon is the perfect finishing touch for hanging.
