How to make a burlap wreath:

Start by ripping some scrap canvas into strips. Ripping the fabric gives you that tattered edge we all love. You can snip the edge and rip and you will get the perfect strip with the grain every time. Repeat until you have enough strips to cover your entire wreath form.
