Enjoy Making A Burlap Wreath By Following Several Simple Steps

When most people think about the material burlap they immediately envision feed sacks and other rustic imagery.

However it is not complicated to turn this material into a decorative wreath that can be placed around your home anytime of the year. A burlap wreath is an excellent addition to any plain wall, inside or outside door and you can take a lazy weekend afternoon to make a burlap wreath that you will be proud of and will impress your friends and family.

You will need to first decide the color of burlap that you would like to use when making your wreath. If you have a neutral décor, beige burlap may be the best option for you. If you want the wreath to stand out in your decorative scheme you can choose different colored burlap.

The Materials That You Will Need

The next thing that you will need to do is gather the materials that you will need to make the wreath. The list should include:

•    The burlap material
•    Scissors
•    Ribbon
•    Glue gun
•    Foam wreath

The Process To Make The Burlap Wreath

Once you have gathered the materials that you need you can then begin to construct the wreath. You will need to cut the material into square pieces. Make sure that these pieces measure five inches all around.

After the material has been cut into equal square pieces you can take one piece and fold it in two halves. The finished square should be at least four layers deep.

You will then take the glue gun and place some glue on the center folded piece of the square. The glued end of the material can then be placed on the wreath. Be sure to hold the material firmly in place until the burlap sticks to the foam wreath.

This process can then be repeated with each square until the foam wreath has been completely covered in the burlap squares.

Make sure that the burlap dries on the wreath before you begin the process of fluffing the squares.

Once your wreath has dried you can take the ribbon and tie it around the wreath and hang the wreath in the desired location.

Making burlap wreaths can be an enjoyable project that the entire family can participate in. These wreaths are popular during the autumn and winter months but they can be used as decorations in the home anytime of the year.

Pink Kitchen Towels are perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day

Pink kitchen towels are fun way to decorate your home for Valentine's Day. I love decorating for holiday's and Valentine's Day is no exception. A lot of Valentine decor is in the red color theme, but I tend to like pink better.

When decorating for a holiday, I don't necessarily want everything to have a quote or a saying on it. I pick one key item. For example, I might hang up a wall hanging in our entryway that says 'Happy Valentine's Day'. The rest of the decorating will be in a theme. Hearts, flowers, doilies and definitely a lot of color.

I also like to have useful items as part of my holiday decorating. Rather than a bunch of knick-knacks sitting around, I'll choose functional items to make the home feel more festive.

I've found some great Valentine's Day kitchen towels, as well as a few other towels in these categories.

• Patterned Pink Kitchen Towels
• Solid Pink Kitchen Towels

Love Your Laundry Room

I'm getting ready to do a laundry room face lift.

Just a little one.

Nothing too fancy.

I don't have a full room.

It's more like a closet, but I've neglected it the whole time we've lived here.

I'll have pictures up soon. Here's a little laundry room inspiration in the meantime.

I wish I was brave (or secure) enough to show you my laundry room in the true before stage but I fear that if you saw the mountain of dust bunnies and slimy soap scum I encountered I would be run straight out of blogland.

In my dream house I would have a laundry room like this.

This is actually a room.

Not just a walk in closet with a door.

How relaxing would it be to kick back and have a coffee, a good book, and the hum of the dryer in the background? Heck, with a room like this I wouldn't leave.

Sorry, honey, I have to do the laundry.
