Burlap Bubble Wreath
Who'd a Thunk it came from Junk? . . .
Did you see how I made my own wreath form
using an old steering wheel cover, stuffing paper and tape?
No? Click HERE to see how.
Sa-weet upcycle idea, huh?
Cut 4" squares from burlap.
Bring the corners together, staple and glue onto wreath.
If adding embellishment, I suggest leaving about a 2"
wire flower stem; This big and beautiful seed pod mum
came from JoAnn's Fabric and Craft store - it's a bit heavy -
make a hole with scissor point, add hot glue, insert the stem.
Stand back and admire your handy work :)

Thanks Christina, it was fun to create the base form of the wreath from "junk" :)
DeleteI'll have to say that was the most creative use of a steering wheel cover I've ever seen! Your wreath is beautiful. I have a similar white burlap wreath that I just haven't decided how to adorn again.
ReplyDeletetee hee! well, you know how it when you see something and then those wheels in your head start turning and churning :) Thanks for visiting and commenting.
DeleteThanks for showing how to do this...I've seen them all over the place, but didn't know how to put together.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Your welcome! I think some folks skip the stapling part, but it helps to keep from burning your fingers with hot glue. Glad you stopped by to comment. Have a great weekend!
DeleteWow really love how your wreath turned out! Seriously genius idea using an old steering wheel cover!!

Thanks Cassidy! Have a great Monday!
DeleteThat's adorable, JoAnn! And whoever would have thought it began life as a steering wheel? And now you make your own seed pod flower to add without buying one too! Thanks for sharing in Pinned it, Made it Monday!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Tammy
OH my gosh! This is super cute, I love burlap!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie, glad you visited my site :)
DeleteJoAnn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty way to make a wreath, never would have thought to use a steering wheel! Your wreath turned out BEAUTIFUL! I love how you did the burlap squares, sounds easy enough. I might have to try your version out since I've been wanting to make a burlap wreath for sometime now.
I loved making it! the burlap smell dissipates eventually, thank goodness. I want to do another in a different color. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteAwesome idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous wreath! I can't believe it is made with an old steering wheel cover! How smart...I would never have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! yeah, somehow I get those thoughts of "don't toss it, you can make something with it" moments ! So happy you stopped by to comment - I appreciate your visit ;-)
