Getting Crafty- Burlap Wreath Edition

I'm not usually that crafty. I spend a lot of time on Pinterest admiring things other people have done, but rarely do I give those crafts a try myself. But one of my co-workers recently got into making wreaths. She showed me how she made them and I decided to give it a shot. This is how it turned out:

Not too bad if I do say so myself.

I didn't take pictures of the step by step but I'll try to explain it. I took a wreath frame like this one ($4.99 at Michael's): 

I bought two rolls of burlap from Walmart ($3.47 each) and two rolls of black mesh ribbon from Michael's ($9.99 each).

All I did to make my wreath was feed the fabric, burlap/ribbon/burlap/ribbon/etc., up through each of the three layers all the way around. The closest tutorial I found is the one below:

The M was actually attached to the bow at the top and was given to me by my boss for Christmas last year. I think she got it from Kirklands. I attached it to the top with pipe cleaners. 

It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I did make it twice because the first time I made it too tight. I like wreaths to be floofy. All in all it took me about an hour and a half, but that was making it twice. 

Even if you don't think you're crafty, give it a shot every once in a while. You might surprise yourself.
