I can’t wait to start sharing all my projects from Trouble’s Beachy Mermaid Party! It was such a fun party to throw, and now that it is over I am thrilled to have some great home decor left over to give my house a casual summer beach house vibe. These burlap wreaths were ridiculously easy to make and I absolutely adore them! The best part is that when summer is over I can swap out the starfish for something a little more fall-ish, with almost no effort at all.
The burlap garland made this project especially painless. At first I thought about just cutting regular burlap into strips, but this stuff is lightly wired AND the edges are finished, which makes it much easier to work with. It was about $8 for a roll at the craft store, but of course I used a coupon to get it for half off!
Here is what you need:
1 roll of burlap garland (10 yards) 1 wire wreath frame twine a starfish or other embellishmentStep 1: Hold the wire frame in one hand, securing the end of the burlap ribbon with that same hand. With your other hand, begin pushing loops of burlap through the back of the frame, alternating sections and pushing them together as you go.
Step 2: Continue pushing loops through the frame all the way around. This takes about 5-10 minutes. Easy!
Step 3: Once the frame is full, fluff & even out the loops.
Step 4: Use twine to secure the starfish to the wreath.
Step 5: Hang and you’re done. Seriously. That’s it. Can you believe it? Easiest. Craft. Ever.

Do you think you’ll try this one yourself? How would you embellish it?

Do you store your wreaths? If the burlap isn’t secured to the frame, how does it stay together and not fall part when you store it?
What size wreath form did you use, & did you use the entire roll of burlap?
This is super cute! I have lots of starfish and seashells around my house and have been thinking about making a wreath too. Think this is the one! Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Rebecca! I’d love to see a photo of your finished product if you decide to make one!
I love this! Where did you get your starfish?
I got some of them at local stores and some on Etsy. 🙂
Very cute!
Thanks Michelle!
