...you know, because everyone is doing it.
What you need:
This mama's blog post. She has it laid out perfectly. From supplies to pretty pictures of 'how too's'. Thanks, AP!
I bought an 18 in wreath, so when I only got 2 yds, I ran out. Boo. So if your wreath is 18" then I would suggest 3 yds.

cut your burlap to 5x5 squares
Go and follow AP's post, because, well, she explains it perfectly!
It does make a huge mess, just FYI
Then find the perfect place! Husband thought I was way off base by thinking this looked good. I loved it, and after talking with a few friends and twitter, the wreath stays. Sorry, husband. You lose. I still need to add a bow. Im working on that....
A dear friend is a bonus for your wreath-making-party...her's was WAY simpler but obviously a different look. She is hosting a 'barnyard' theme for a girlfriends baby shower - it will go just perfect!
A toddler supervisor helps the process too. Except when she is done eating and wants to play. Then the burlap-making-wreath-party takes a break until bedtime. Just in case you were wondering :)
Happy Thursday!
You did such a good job on this! I've been wanting to attempt a burlap wreath for a while but I've been too intimidated to try
