I am officially on the burlap wreath band wagon! Better late than never, right?
I have to admit that I had a larger plan in the beginning but was deterred by the dry time of the mod podge. It would have been much easier if I had the spray kind- but I was working with what I had.
The point of putting the mod podge all over the burlap is to keep it from fraying when you cut it into your shapes and also to be able to paint on it easier.
After I painted the candy corn stripes on, I went ahead and added my favorite fall slogan- gotta have a Happy Fall Y’all! And then hot glued around 2 of the 3 sides leaving an opening to stuff a bit of the left over burlap in to give it some dimension.
and hot glue up the last side and you are all set! I decided to just make it a simple wreath and wrapped orange burlap around a wire wreath form and then attach the candy corn with some floral wire. I added a black bow to hang it from and then patted my self on the back as I was finally on the Burlap Wagon!
Is everybody ready for Halloween? We have costumes ready to go and I even bought our candy today so we are all set! Trick or Treat!

That is fantastic, there really is something about burlap that I just love ~ Lisa
Thanks Lisa! Me too:)
Hint: Stuff plastic bags into the opening to make it stand out. That way if the weather gets to the burlap it will dry out easily. Also-you can staple the edges which makes it easier to close. Love the Happy Fall Ya’ll!
Great tip! Thank you!
Such a great idea! Thanks Bee!
Thanks so much!
