Burlap and Chevron Fall Wreath Trio

SO, you know how sometimes when you start a project thinking it’s going to be a 3 hour deal and it runs into a 2 1/2 week ordeal??  Yep, well.  That happened to my front door.

A few Saturday’s ago my husband, Drew, decided that it was time to give our front door a little touch up and one thing led to another, which led to another and more and so on!   The reason for this story is that a little while ago when I posted my DIY Fall Flower Pots I had intended to share my Fall Wreath Trio but with the door being under construction… I had to wait!

SO, here it finally is!   My Burlap and Chevron Fall Wreath Trio!!  (that door sure looks nice and shiny though doesn’t it).  Most of this little creation came from the Dollar Store, which is even more cool, right?!

 

The burlap, wooden dowel, and chevron fabric came from other stores BUT the entire project cost approximately 7$ AND this is how I made it…

Materials:

5 pieces- 2″ wide by 38″ long white burlap (3 pieces to wrap the wreaths, 1 for each rosette)

1 spool 6 yards, sheer ribbon (dollar store)

3-  9″twig wreaths (dollar store)

1 bunch small flower (dollar store)

1- wooden dowel 25″ long

2- 3″ wide by 40″ long pieces of chevron material

floral wire
