Cheap, Easy & Fun Ideas

I love finding fun, cheap and creative projects to do!  I found this one on etsy and on pinterest.  It's called a Burlap Tie Wreath.  I was hoping to get a new wreath for Christmas decorations this year and thrilled with the natural look of this one.  I was even more excited when I realized it would be cheap to make!!

To make:  

Cut burlap into 1inch strips that are either 6 or 8 inches long.  

The top one is 6 and bottom is 8, not much of a difference.

Tie each strip on 12" wire wreath.  

You can see the wire wreath below.  I found it at JoAnns for $2.49.  I used just under 1.5yards of burlap that was $3.99 a yard.

So project total was $8.50 plus tax, and that's without sale or a coupon! (which I had both of!)

I wanted to use some color, so I bought a 6inch wreath and some cotton fabric and here is the result:

Have fun!!
