Burlap Rosette Wreath

I stumbled on this burlap wreath tutorial the other day and thought it would be a great wreath to get me through the holidays. It's simple and elegant. The burlap makes it a great fall decoration, but I think it could hang on my door straight through Christmas. {if I don't get bored and make something else before then}

Start with a wreath. 

You could use foam, sure. But you'd miss out on the lovely straw mess you see in my pics:)

Cut strips of burlap a few inches wide.

Wrap strips around the wreath, hot gluing the ends, until it's completely covered.

All burlapped up

Take a strip of burlap, and start twisting it and wrapping it around itself, gluing it as you go.

Make a whole bunch.

Attach a ribbon to your wreath for hanging.

Start gluing on your purdy posies.

Just for a little glam, I added some sparkle. Why not, right?

I put some fabric paint glitter on a paintbrush...

...and brushed it onto the rosettes.

It's hard to see it in the photos, but it does add a little something.

Tie a bow and glue it to the hanging ribbon.

I don't have a hook on my door, so I use a staple gun to fasten the ribbon to the top edge of the door. 

It works great. No hook or hole needed. 

When I remove my wreath, there's no trace of what was there.
