Since this is one of my all time favorites, I thought I would share it again! Happy day to you all!
Sometimes there is nothing better than a project that is easy and simple and that you love in the end.
That is the case with my wood and burlap natural fall wreath I made today.
Truly, it could not have been easier.
Step 1:
Update: Since the have been so many questions, the size of the wood discs are approximately 2.5 to 3 inches. For glue, I used E6000. Another good option would be Loctite GO2 glue that is temperature and water resistant. If you were using it indoors, hot glue works just fine.
Slice thin pieces of wood from a dried log. We used our chop saw and did it nice and slowly with a piece of black birch, but any will do. When the log got smaller, we stopped for safety reasons.
Tie a piece of burlap on a flat wooden wreath form first to hang it and then attach the wood slices in a single layer using an adhesive. Do not use hot glue if you are planning to use it outdoors as it can melt and fall apart.
Update: here is a link to the wreath form that I used (affiliate link included).
Step 2:
Add a second layer overlapping where the first layer pieces meet.
Don’t you just love natural wood grain?
Step 3:
I used branches, dried flowers from the craft store and folds of wired burlap ribbon (and a few feathers) and layered them all together and glued them to the front of the wreath.
Almost any type of ribbon or flowers (or feathers) would work it all depends on your style.
And that is it – you are done.
Promised it was easy!
Wishing you a great day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I love this wreath so much that I made one! Thanks for the inspiration!
What type of adhesive did you use? Thanks
This is awesome! I actually have tons of slices of wood from my craft project today that would be perfect for this wreath.
Stopping over from The Lettered Cottage.
Love love love this! Definitely simple and looks amazing! Thanks for the inspiration : )
I wondered if you could share where you got the wood ring and what size it is? I’ve looked at 2 stores and can’t find one! Love this wreath!
Oh, Laura, I love your wreath! That is so different and unique, rustic and charming. Great job!!

France also faced a humiliating exit with loads of controversies.
Just beautiful!
Oh my!! I absolutely LOVE this wreath!! I was never into the whole burlap thing but on this wreath it just adds to the “natural beauty” look!
Beautiful wreath!! What kind of adhesive did you use?
What a wonderful idea!! This is definitely something I’d love to make– we’ve had a storm with a lot of trees down. This might just be the thing for some of those branches.
Glad you shared it again….definitely one of my favorites too!!!
So pretty for Fall! 🙂
So, so pretty! And you could do so many thing with it!!

This is gorgeous! Thanks so much for linking up at the Creative Collection Link Party!
This is gorgeous!!! I am going to be sharing it on my facebook page today. Love it!
What a beautiful fall wreath! I love how you used the wood, it looks absolutely beautiful! Happy (almost) Fall! 🙂
Beautiful! I’m pinning. All the natural elements call to me.
I found you via Lines Across. If you’re interested in new link parties, I have one at Gingerly Made and would love to have you join us. Have a great weekend!
Simple but gorgeous!! I love the woodsy, natural colors and look. So Adirondack feeling (I’m from NY!) pinned to my I Love Wreaths board!
This is beautiful!
LOVE the natural, woodsy look of your wreath. Showed it to my husband as he just had cut up two trees that fell in our driveway. Going to definitely make this ASAP. We live on 20 acres of heavily wooded land in a log home. How perfect this will look on our door! One question: what type of she since did you use?

This wreath is absolutely gorgeous. Would love to try to make it. What type of “adhesive” did you use
Thanks
Lynn
Love it….so fall looking. Great idea.
This is really cute. Need to know how many inches is is the large pieces of wood
Kathy – I am sorry, I do not know as this is now packed away. I am thinking it was around 30 x 36 inches. I hope that helps.
I really like the wood slice/burlap, pinecone wreath. My daughter and family are outdoorsy people and she would
like this wreath. Do you sell wood slices…what is a good size slice ( I would like maybe three different sizes) , 3″,31/2,
maybe some 2″ slices. Also, do you sell the 12″ wood back for the wreath. What is the best wood to use for this.Could
you give me an idea of prices. Thank you
it’s lovely! I pinned to my lets get crafty board xo
Did you use something to prevent your wood slices from splitting? I made this and once I had my wreath hanging, within 3 days each slice started to spilt to the middle.
Thank you!
Kris – I didn’t, but I didn’t have a problem with splitting. It may have been the type of wood you were using. I am pretty sure we used black birch.
Hi there,
Curious what the approximate diameter of your wood disks are for this wreath.
Thank you,
Penni Kinkade
This wreath is so perfect. Thanks for sharing it at Work it Wednesday.
So Rustic and perfect for Fall. LOVE!!
Love this wreath!
We’re cutting birch logs for another purpose, but had a question. We’ve had some trouble with our chop saw and the birch logs. It kept catching on the log and breaking the wood, then the small wood piece kinda flew off. Any tips? Not sure if this is typical, or if we’re trying to cut it too fast. Let me know if you’ve found anything that works in this case. Thanks!
Love the Wooden Burlap Wreath. I made it with a friend and it was very easy and turned out so pretty. I have had several compliments on it….Thank you for sharing. All your wreath are so nice and pretty, I will be trying my hand at a few others soon. Thank You!!
LOOKS SO SIMPLE! WILL MAKE SOME THIS YEAR. THANKS!
I loved your wreath and tutorial. One question, do you think we need to use a wood sealer so that the wood doesn’t split? I have also been using grapevine wreaths as a base. Your flat form looks a lot easier and neater. So next time at a craft store, I am picking up some flat forms!!
You’re so talented!
Blessings,
