Craft #2 of 30 Day Challenge

For my second craft of my 30 day challenge, I decided to make a burlap wreath.  Burlap wreaths have been a popular for a long time but I never had much interest in making one.  Then I saw a super cute one at my mother-in-law's house.  It was OSU themed & she got it as a Secret Santa gift.  The lady who made it told her how easy it was.  I decided it give it a try.

I saw this tutorial on Pinterest & used it as my starting point.  But once I started pushing the burlap ribbon through the wreath frame, I kind of figured it out from there.  It was super easy.  My wreath ended up not as puffy/big because I didn't buy enough ribbon but I like how it turned out.  Then I used wire to attach some fabric flowers & a "C" from Hobby Lobby.  I like that I can easily switch out the decorations on the wreath for different holidays or just to mix it up.  Overall, I'm a fan because it was easy, quick & inexpensive.

Doing good on my challenge so far!
