Easy DIY Burlap and Floral Fall Wreath
Is it possible to have too many wreaths? I’m trying to be serious here!
I absolutely love wreaths: round, square, big, small and everything in between. In my home I already have a large un-embellished pine cone wreath (because it looks gorgeous just as it is) as well as all these wreaths which you can see more of in these past posts:
I may have a problem.
Then again, who could resist the urge to make a new, easy fall wreath with burlap and gorgeous silk flowers if they were provided with the opportunity? Not me.
That’s exactly what happened for this month’s #12MonthsofDIY challenge with faux florals which is sponsored by Afloral.com. They have such an impressive collection of silk flowers that are unbelievably realistic. We chose some faux anemone flower sprays in vanilla, an ivory dahlia flower stem which we’ll share in a future project and some green aloe picks which you can catch a glimpse of in our recent upcycled nautical table lamp post:
As soon as we saw the rich and velvety anemone stems, the tones reminded us of burlap. We love that although the wreath is quite neutral, the pinecones and burlap do give it a rustic autumn feel.
Be sure to check out all the amazing faux floral DIY ideas made by our fellow Canadian bloggers as a part of the #12MonthsofDIY challenge at the end of this post!

And there’s the latest wreath for my growing collection! It didn’t take to long to find a spot for it, on one of the bedroom doors upstairs, although it may eventually find a new home.
I’m quite happy with the neutral colors as the wreath will look great all through the winter and into the spring.
Did I mention that we have a whole Pinterest board devoted to nature-inspired wreaths?

So, do you have a thing for wreaths as we do?
this is so perfectly pretty. I love the simplicity of it – great video by the way!. The neutral colours really make it a season-less wreath, which is just awesome!
Thanks, Heather! We do have thing for neutrals and anything that can be used across all seasons is a bonus.
This is so lovely! I love the burlap contrasting with the vanilla flowers. I actually only have one wreath. Now I feel like I NEED to get working on another! 😉
Thank you, Joann! We’ve actually run out of doors to hang all of our wreaths and have moved onto walls;)
This is beautiful! I love the colours and tones, very ‘you guys.’ I love it! Make me one?
Awe, thanks Ariel! We should do a craft exchange…there’s some pieces of yours I’ve got my eye on;)
Those are very realistic looking flowers, which is perfect for something people will see up close and personal. I love a good burlap wreath!
Believe it or not but this is our first burlap wreath! We were so pleased with the anemone flowers when we received them…they are so soft and lovely!
Love your rustic style in your creative projects. Love the combination of the burlap and the flowers. Great marriage of textures!
It’s funny but we never realized how much we loved "rustic style" until we started making our projects regularly.
Love a little neutral, love a little burlap -great job girls.
A little burlap goes a long way!
Your wreath is so pretty, I love the great big impact with such a simple design, it’s light and fresh and adorable! AND your photos are just stunning!
I love this wreath! Pinned to my fall decor board.
Love your wreath! And easy is my favourite word 😉
