Burlap and Buttons Wreath
I think summer is my weakest crafting season–I just don’t seem to have many ideas. I don’t really know why. Enter Buttons Galore and More’s BGM Boxes. They’re full of fun seasonal goodies that open up all sorts of crafting possibilities. Sometimes the included embellishments are available separately on the website, but there are always box exclusives, as well. This fun set of buttons and ribbon was one of those–there are similar sets on the website, but not exactly like the one I used for this easy burlap and buttons wreath.

Supplies:
- burlap ribbon (I used a 3″ wide ribbon–I’d recommend a smaller width. Mine was unwieldy and I didn’t like how it wrapped. Just make sure it doesn’t have wires.)
- 12″ styrofoam wreath form
- Waterfall Colored Buttons and Ribbon from BGM Box
- straight pins
- Aleene’s Tacky Glue
- scissors
Directions:
Attach the end of the burlap ribbon to the wreath form using straight pins.
Wrap the ribbon around the wreath until it is completely covered. Cut off any excess ribbon. Use more straight pins to secure the end.
Glue the buttons onto the wreath. This glue will dry clear, so don’t worry if you can initially see the glue through the clear buttons. I kept my buttons clustered along the bottom of the wreath, but it would be cute to scatter them all over, as well.
To make the ribbon flower, fold loops over onto a center point until you have the shape you want. Attach it to the wreath with a straight pin and then glue buttons in the center.
An alternative for the ribbon would be to tie it at the top and use it as a loop hanger.
Once the glue is dry, hang up your burlap and buttons wreath and enjoy!
You can see how easily customizable this is–I suddenly have all sorts of ideas. In the meantime, I’m enjoying having some neutral-ish summer decor!
