TWO WAYS TO MAKE A BASIC BURLAP WREATH | FULL TUTORIAL |

[@DavesWreaths]

Hello everyone,🤗 This video takes you through a step by step tutorial on how you can create two different base burlap wreaths. The bubble method and the ruffle method. Each wreath can be decorated for whatever season you wish or just hang it on it's own. I hope you enjoyed this video and I hope it gave you some inspiration to try one of your very own.

[@cherylwade5177]

I love to watch your videos. I always am confident in making a wreath anything you do I try. Love you Dave and your tutorials that you do. Thanks.

[@elaineforan4751]

I love these Dave thank you. Can I ask, is the ribbon wired? How do you prevent the ribbon from popping off again, especially with the ruffle method.

[@thatgardeninggirl2864]

I'm here AGAIN I swear I'm gonna learn how to make a burlap wreath!!!! Thanks Dave!

I hope you got what you needed to make your burlap wreath. And if you have any questions, you can always ask me, I'm here to help. Happy wreath making. 😊😊😊

[@MyOver50]

Your presentation is excellent & relaxing... lol. I think there's a "twist" in 1st wreath, but I actually like the 2nd one better. I never knew the difference until today. Thank you.

[@DavesWreaths]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Yes th here normally is a twist with that method, but I don’t use it as I find it is too bulky in the back…and I find it works just as well without the twist. Thanks again 😊

[@kimberlysnell724]

Can you use burlap for an outdoor wreath for cemetery decor? If so would a UV resistant spray work for weather proofing in addition to fade protection? And would you treat the burlap before making the wreath or after it’s completed? Thank you! I’m excited to try the ruffle method.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Kimberly, thank you so much. I have not tried using UV resistant spray on burlap wreaths before. Sorry, I'm not sure how that would react/work. I usually only put my burlap wreaths on my front door, which is under a porch and no sunlight directly hits it. So it's been safe. However, I am not sure whether burlap would be able to withstand the elements in a cemetery. Burlap does fade with sunlight. I haven't tested it outside yet. If you're going to use a UV resistant spray, I would maybe contact the manufacturer and see if it has any effects on the burlap, or do a test piece and see how that works. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Take care.

[@clarissabochel133]

Hi Dave loving your tutorials . Question please how do u stop the poly mesh form fraying when you wind round your 7 inch cutting board and cut all together . It certainly would be a great time saver

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Clarissa. Thank you so much. I am so glad to hear your are liking my videos. Deco mesh tends to fray, that is the nature of the beast when working with deco mesh. That is just something that will always happen. When I do my little "trick" to cutting, it does fray, it's not a perfect method of cutting, but it does cut down on time. Usually I do this trick when I'm doing a curly loop wreath, that way the frayed edges are concealed when you roll up the mesh to make the curls. Other ways that you can reduce the amount of fraying is to use a burning tool when you cut your mesh - this comes with some warning though, best in a well ventilated area and use extreme caution as this is a hot tool. Some people use hairspray or a spray varathane to hold the mesh in place - I have never done this as I would think this may add a yellow hue to the finished product. For me, the best way is to use a base wreath method that hides the fraying, like he curly loop, ruffle, or bubble methods all work really well. I don't mind the fraying, it's something I just got used to when working with deco mesh. I hope that helps a bit....thanks so much and take care.

[@clarissabochel133]

Thankyou Dave yes I do have a wood burning pen . But burning through that much I’m a bit nervous I will burn myself . Thankyou for the tip for good ventilation . I used yesterday for 4 hours and didn’t realise I needed well ventilation .it was the curly loop one I wanted to have a crack at. I’m in New Zealand and don’t have access to a lot of the materials needed so it’s challenging .But I am enjoying your tutorials and very easy to understand . So Thankyou

[@bernadetteboyce6157]

Hi Dave Do you twist the burlap after each column or just the 1st one? BTW I just made my 1st wreath using your video for deco mesh. I must say it came out better than I thought. Your videos are great. Thank you so much.

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Bernadette, thank you so much. I am soooo happy to hear your first wreath come out looking good. YAY!!! Congrats on your first one!!! I showed how to do the twist as some people do like the twist to hold the burlap in place. Personally, I twist on the first and last ones, and that is it. I find that when the burlap is squished together tightly, like I have in my wreaths, it doesn't move or come out. If you do a looser ruffle, then I would suggest adding the twist. Hope that helps.

[@KreativelyMelisa]

Hi Nancy...I had used 5" width by 10yrd rolls for these burlap wreaths. You should be totally fine with your couple of 5 yards rolls. Plus, if the burlap is fairly thick, you can get away with doing a looser ruffle or bubble and use less. 🤗 The yellow sounds amazing...I'm jealous!! LOL. Thank you so much and have a great day.

Did you twist the burlap just that one time?

[@DavesWreaths]

Hi Laurel, yes, I twisted it the once to show that method. I don't twist my burlap usually for this method as I find it adds a lot of bulk to the back of the wreath and when I do mine, I fill it to capacity so the bundles don't fall out. If you're doing less bundles, then I would twist at each turn to make sure it stays put. 😊
