Today I want to show you the easiest burlap heart tutorial. But first something poetic. Love is patient…and not always so kind… especially when you pull on that darn vine.

Even pretty little burlap hearts with red arrows can’t defend against it and all it’s itchy, irritable side affects. If you are wondering what in the world I am talking about let me explain I pulled off a vine on this tree while trying to capture some photos. the vine was poison oak.

The Easiest Burlap Heart Tutorial
Instructions:

Step 1– Remove the red stuff from the heart and put away and save for another project that requires glitz and glamour

Step 2 – For this project I cut my burlap garland in long strips so it was easier to work with. Take one end and begin weaving in between the the plastic frame.

Step 3– As you pull through your burlap leave a little at the end and don’t pull tight or pull all the way through. This is how your burlap will stay in place. Although I have never secured it onto the frame with anything, you probably could use a twisty tie or a piece of wire to secure your end.

Step 4– Continue weaving the loops around the frame. You will create a pattern going through the outer edge, the middle and inner edge. Go back and forth. Repeat this pattern all the way around the form.Your loops should be the same size. When you are finished, fluff all the loops around the wreath.

Step 5– When you are done, take your scissors and cut off any long pieces and any stray strings from the burlap.Move the burlap around if necessary so that the plastic heart frame is not showing. To hang the wreath, I put some jute string through the hole and tied.

  1. I have never been a fan of those tinsely, sparkly, heart wreaths, and I have never once thought about the form underneath! Guess that's why you're the genius! (And a poet…nice job on that!) Love the burlap wreath and the tute! Thank you for sharing it!

  3. Very sweet Laura! I truly think you are the burlap wreath queen. I always wind up pinning yours and have gotten to know your style:) Which I love. Have a great day.

  4. You make me feel like singing, so how about….

  8. Laura…I was thinking of you when I was walking through our woods this morning..thinking I needed to tell you to remember this.."Leaves of 3..let me be." I'm sure you know that now anyway!

  9. It's common not to know that poison plants aren't dormant in the winter when their leaves fall off… And the only reason I DO know is because my husband is an arborist and is EXTREMELY allergic. Just brushing up against it causes him to head to the doctor's office for a shot. Hope you stop itching soon! Love the wreath!
