My kids have been enjoying several “snow days” this month so we’ve had lots of time at home for creating! One of the days we decided to pull out our Valentine’s decorations. I decided to bring out some of my craft supplies and we got to work creating a Burlap Bubble Wreath! If you’ve been around for a while, you know I LOVE making Burlap Bubble Wreaths!

Here’s the one we made for the inside of our door.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut the Burlap into Squares

One of the key elements of a bubble burlap wreath is the “poufs” that create a full, fluffy look. To achieve this, start by cutting your burlap into 3″ x 3″ squares.

💡 Pro Tip: Burlap tends to fray, so handle it gently and consider using a rotary cutter for clean edges!

Step 2: Fold the Burlap to Create the Bubble Effect

Now, let’s make the signature “bubbles” that give this wreath its textured appearance.

1️⃣ Take one square and fold opposite corners inward.
2️⃣ Fold in the other two corners the same way.
3️⃣ You should now have a pouf shape!
4️⃣ Insert a pin through the bottom of the folded burlap to hold its shape.

Step 3: Attach the Burlap Pieces to the Foam Wreath

  • Start at the top of your foam heart wreath form and begin pinning your burlap poufs.
  • Continue adding more burlap pieces until the wreath is full and fluffy.
  • Make sure to cover all gaps so your wreath looks lush and full.

💡 Do you love a rustic, farmhouse-style look? Leave the frayed edges for a textured appearance. If you prefer a neater look, you can trim the excess frays!

Step 4: Add Decorative Heart Picks

  • Once your burlap bubble wreath is complete, insert the heart picks around the wreath to add some extra Valentine’s Day charm.
  • Trim the wooden sticks if needed to fit securely.

Step 5: Attach a Hanging Loop
