A Burlap Wreath

So, I really wanted a wreath that wasn't holiday or season specific. All of my wreaths are very specific and I hate when my door is bare! I also really wanted to try something with burlap. I just love the way it looks. When I went to Hobby Lobby, I had grand ideas of what I would create. I was thinking I would make burlap rosettes and glue the rhinestones in the middle. I still may do this later, but once I starting making the wreath I took a VERY easy way out. And I love the result!

So, these are the things I initially started out with: a grapevine wreath, wooden initial, clear rhinestones, natural cord, hot glue, and burlap. I chose the ivory burlap just because I thought it was pretty! Hobby Lobby had several colors to choose from.

So, as you can see, a tutorial is not necessary. All I did was wrap the burlap around in a semi poofy/loose way, so that the grapevine still showed. Then, I tied the cord around the initial and secured it to the wreath. Easy! 
It was really simple, which makes it even prettier, in my opinion! Plus, nothing is glued so I can repurpose all the materials if I'd like!
