Coffee Bag Burlap Wreath Tutorial

Hello all! It's no secret I LOVE Pinterest!!! I even lead Pinterest Night at the Library where I work. We take blog posts and popular pins from Pinterest and do interactive nights where for $5 we provide the supplies to make these wonderful projects so you do not have to do these projects at home alone. It's magical! 

For the month of September, we partnered with the local coffee house to donate burlap coffee bags to create these beautiful burlap wreathes. This was our first Pinterest Night project and we wanted to repeat it. 

  This tutorial was inspired by The Dishy Decorator. We couldn't find one that dealt with coffee bags. 

Coffee Bag Burlap Wreath Tutorial 

 First, you'll need two coffee bags. The coffee house locally donated them to us to use but I'm sure you can find them at an antique store or by even asking your locally owned coffee house.

 Next, you'll need to cut the seams of the bag.

 This step can be skipped. You can either keep the bag closed if you are strapped for space or you can open it. Either way is fine.

 So now we are going to get to the actual construction of your wreath. You will need to measure strips 4-6 inches wide depending how wide you want your wreath to be and cut the bag(s) into strips. I cut mine at 6 inches. You'll need about 4-5 strips to make the wreath.

 Next take your hanger and if it already isn't straightened for you. You will need to take the pliers and straighten it out.





















Now, fold the burlap strips accordion style (Repeat this step for each strip after step 7). If you would like to fold all of the strip at once take a rubber band and put around each strip to hold into place.

Then you take the hanger and thread the burlap onto it. 

Once you have the desired fullness, bend the hanger around the "O" (if your hanger has one). Bend it to the size that you want also.  You then twist the left over hanger back around itself. 

Now take burlap and thread it over the twisted hanger and fluff the burlap to your desired fullness. 

Next undo the "O" (if your hanger has one) and bend it over the other loop and twist around to complete the circle. Repeat step 9. 

Finished product!!! 

You can also add flair to your wreath. Flowers, Ribbon, bows..whatever you want! Make it yours and enjoy this fall wreath on your door. :) 

I hope you all enjoyed my first tutorial!! More Pinterest projects to come...:)
