I started it with some burlap that I had, but I didn't have enough.So Hubby had to stop and get some when he was out running an errand. Joanne's has multiple burlap colors, so he called me asking which color to get. I just had him get extra, that way if it didn't match I could start over and have enough.
It didn't match so I started over.
I don't know how Jennifer got by with only 5 strips. I used 7 strips (or maybe more, I forget now) that were 4" wide. They were the width of the burlap, which I think was a little more than 36". Maybe if I washed the burlap first, but I've never washed burlap (can you dry it?). It would probably make it not lose all those pokey, needle-y threads (or whatever you would call them) while you're working with it.
Still cute.I have some burlap left. I think I'll try washing it now.

I saw that on The Nester too. Yours turned out great!
That's really unique. Turned out great.
I like it, you did a great job. I don't know about washing burlap. I think I would air dry it for sure, or it would be all over the inside of the dryer, probably. There must be an answer somewhere....
Have a nice weekend.

very cute! Great project!
I love it...and I may try it...but I don't think you can wash burlap...maybe by hand!
Hi Daisy Girl!
That wreath is a cute idea!
Happy S&T friday!

I've never tried to wash burlap either. I wonder if you should put it into a pillow case first? Those strings could just go everywhere if it falls apart.
Great job on your burlap wreath.

That is quite lovely and very unique. I may have to try that.
That looks great! I would think burlap would unravel quite a bit if you washed it.
Cute wreath! Joan @Americana By Candlelight
