Rope Wreath

If you’re looking for a last minute idea for a holiday wreath, Timi Schmidt from BuyRope is here today, sharing a wonderful how-to for a rope wreath!

 

OVERVIEW

• Experience Required: Low
• Tools Required: Hot Glue Gun, Scissors
• Materials Required: 9 Meters of 10mm Jute Rope, 1,5m wire, 1m Jute Burlap, Clear Tape (or any kind of tape), Decorated Garland, Pinecones (optional)

• Measure out 3 x 3 m pieces of rope.
• Fold each one in half and lay them down next to each other.
• You should have 3 sections with 2 strands now.

 

• Secure the strands to the work surface with clear tape.
• Start braiding by taking the left section over the middle section.
• Then take the right section and cross over the new middle section.

 

• After you finish braiding the rope, secure the ends with a hot glue gun.
• We will hide this section with ornaments later.

 

• Take the piece of wire and form a circle. To make it sturdier, double it

 

• Glue the back of the rope wreath (choose the less aesthetic side) to the wire circle in multiple points.

 

• Take your garland and cut it into little pieces. It is best to have pieces with different length.

 

• Take the longer pieces and glue them to the wreath where the ends meet.

 

• Glue the smaller pieces to the longer pieces. Arrange them to your liking.

 

• Take the burlap and fold it 3 times around itself using your hand.

 

• Tie the bow in the middle using a small piece of wire, then divide the layers and fluff the bow.

 

• Glue the bow to the middle of the wreath and conceal the wire by attaching a small pinecone to it with the hot glue gun.

 

• After the glue dried, your wreath is ready to hang on your door.
