Grapevine & Burlap Rosette Wreath

So I have totally been on a wreath extravaganza lately
It is a simple way to change things up for the seasons
and so far the ones that I have made 
have been really frikkin easy

I found this one 


on Pinterest...of course
Here is the technique Jenni recommended to make rosettes


For this wreath

Really all you need is:

*Burlap
*Glue Gun & lots of glue sticks
*Grapevine Wreath 

Thats it!

I love the wispiness of these grapevine wreaths
but it would work with anything

I am soooo addicted to burlap
Its everywhere
I love how elegant & rough it looks at the same time




So here are few pics I took along the way
and some instructions too

It is really simple, so I am sure my lame attempt at explaining isn't really needed but here we go...



So I started with about a 1 1/2--2 inch thick strip of Burlap 



 I rolled, twisted & glued.  
 as I went to get the rosette look
Roll, twist & glue
Roll, twist & glue

Kinda like
Lather, rinse, repeat...
hee


You really cant screw this up, the faster I went, the more sloppy the rosettes were & I actually liked the sloppy ones better,
kinda like I do in real life
(liking the sloppy ones, that is)








Then I lined the rosettes up along the circle (inner part) of the wreath till they looked right
again i just eyeballed them



I was going with the odd number rule too
Love how that works out!
This is the finished wreath




Hanging on the front door

I also made a tiny one for a bridal shower

& attached a Gift Card.  

Kinda a nice gift?!?!

So that's it, lots of fun to make & super easy!

Let me know if you try one!
