DIY Patterned Burlap & Fall Harvest Wreath

I’m getting so excited for Fall! It is my favorite time of year, hands down. Now that I am finally settling down in our new home (okay, so I’m not even close to being unpacked yet), I am working on a few fall projects for my front porch. I decided to recycle my summer wreath and use the burlap as the base for a neutral harvest wreath for my front door. I fell in love with these stems of shimmery burlap leaves, and added a few stalks of dried wheat to complete the look. I even created my own patterned burlap ribbon to hang my new Fall Harvest Wreath:

 

• Wreath base {wrapped in burlap} – recycled from my Summer Succulent Wreath
• 2 stems of Ashland burlap leaves
• 1 bundle of dried wheat stalks
• twine
• DIY patterned burlap {tutorial below}

When I was shopping for my wreath materials, I came across a section of patterned burlap at JoAnn’s that was to die for! They had spiders for Halloween, geometric patterns, and even a gold polka-dot one! I really wanted to grab some for my wreath but it was $14.99 a yard. I already had some plain burlap at home so I decided to make my own 🙂

For this project, I needed a strip of burlap about 5 inches wide to hang my wreath. But you could definitely do this on a larger piece of burlap too! First I cut my burlap and laid it out on the table. Then I grabbed the rest of my supplies:

I love the new stencils from DecoArt, and picked out this classic hounds tooth patterned stencil. I also used some of their acrylic paint in Light Buttermilk (one of my favorite colors!)

I just went section by section, down the length of the strip until the pattern was complete. So easy!
