15 minutes, 3 materials, and less than $8.00! This just might rank as one of my most ‘successful’ projects for those reasons alone! Wreaths can suck in your money whether you are making your own or buying a pre-made wreath. My inspiration for our Fall Wreath this year came from Barbara at 31 Rosemary Lane. When I saw her wreath using a metal hanger and burlap, I thought, “That is genius!” The rest is history {well, actually it’s written below}.
Materials:
- 30 feet Roll of Burlap, 3 in. wide (can be found at both Michael’s and Hobby Lobby)
- Metal Hanger
- 2 Strands of Decorative Garland
Directions:
1. Straighten out the hanger.
2. Fold the burlap back and forth onto itself in an alternating pattern. Thread the metal hanger through the center of the burlap.
3. Secure the ends of the hanger together with pliers (if needed).
4. ‘Fluff’ the garland by releasing the fold creases around the entire wreath.
5. Position garland into the wreath and secure it by twisting the garland ends onto the hanger.
6. Allow it to hang overnight before readjusting a final time.
Enjoy! We are absolutely loving our simple Fall wreath!

What a great idea, especially on such a tight budget! Thanks for sharing!
I know I love finding great inexpensive craft ideas!
Oh wow, so simple yet it came out so great! Love it!
Tracey- Thanks! I love it and am still in shock at how easy it turned out to be!
You had me at “inexpensive!” I love those fall mesh wreaths my neighbors are all making, but the supplies run about $50, and I’m just too cheap for that. Making a cute one for under $10 is what I’m all about! Thanks!
Bonny- Wreaths can be so expensive, I know! This is a fun, inexpensive way to decorate! Be sure to send us a pic if you make one!
Thanks for sharing this lovely, inexpensive fall wreath, Mackenzie! Just what I was looking for!
Featuring YOU today!
