Home Improvement Week 3: Burlap Wreath [part 1]

Since cleaning up all the Christmas decorations, I have felt our house seemed pretty bare.  We had a beautiful wreath for Christmas and I needed to either make or get another one that I could use all year long.  Deciding on the burlap wreath was a no-brainer.  I knew I wanted that look but I had no clue how to make it.  After asking around and watching this video, I figured out a way I could make it work!
step one. get the materials
18'' green metal frame from Michales
I first bought 2 roles of 10' burlap, but I ended up needing to go buy 3 more! 
"B" wood letter to put on the frame when its finished

step two. tie a knot
First thing you need to do is tie a knot in the burlap to the green frame.  Some people suggest painting the green frame so you don't see it when you are finished. I decided not to paint mine since I figured no one will be close enough to tell!

step three. weave the burlap
Weaving the burlap through can be done different ways. I wanted mine to look like the picture below.  To achieve this look, I had to feed the burlap through the 3 rings about 5 times on each of the green ring sections of the wreath.

step four. keep going
Once you get the hang of it, you ave to just keep going steady! So far, this is what I have! Currently our weather here is a little rough and I cannot make it out to get the rest of the burlap!! Look out for part 2 of the Burlap Wreath Tutorial next week!!
