Supplies
Wire wreath form
Wood slices
Burlap
Ribbon/burlap of choice for bow
Hot glue and hot glue gun
Scissors
Sticks
Pinecones
I started out by wrapping the wire wreath form with burlap as the wood sliced don't cover the wire entirely, and I'd rather see burlap than green wire.
I started by hot gluing it in one spot to start and continued wrapping around until the entire wreath form was covered and the wire was not able to be seen.
To attach the tail, I glued onto the bag, and used extra glue to be sure that it wouldn't fray.
Next, I began hot gluing the wood slices on. Make sure you get a good layer of hot glue to attach it. Push down for 30 seconds to secure it to the form.
The first wreath: I used two rows of the wood slices and burned welcome onto the top layer using my wood burning tool.
I then added a burlap bow, some twigs and some pinecones giving it a very rustic look.
After hanging up the wreath, I decided it need a little something else, so while doing some after Christmas shopping, I found this cute E and decided to add it to the wreath. Just enough fancy to balance the rustic :)
For the second wreath, I opted to use left over items from our wedding. So I incorporated a blue chevron burlap bow from some left over scraps I had..
