DIY Square Boxwood Wreath with Burlap Bow

Pin It

 I'm ending my Holiday DIY Week with my very favorite project to date!  A square boxwood wreath with burlap bow!  Love, love, love this!

 

Square boxwood wreaths are everywhere this holiday season, but the price tags are very high on these beauties!  I was determined to have one myself, but didn't want to pay the $70 (and up) price!

My Supplies:
The square frame came from Goodwill. It originally framed an interesting print, but I just wanted it for its square shape.  The frame was 18" on each side.  The spray paint is Krylon's "Seaweed". I also needed some green floral wire and four pieces of boxwood garland (found at JoAnn).

First I removed the print and glass from the frame and spray painted it.  I needed it to be green so that the frame wouldn't show through the garland.

Next, I attached my first piece of garland to the frame using the green floral wire.  I simply wrapped the garland around (and around, and around...) the frame.  One piece of garland covered about 18" of frame.  I repeated this process until the whole frame was covered!

There!  Beautiful, no?

I found some nice, thick rolls of burlap at Hobby Lobby for half price!  $2.50 a roll!  Whoot!

I used this tutorial to make the bow and attached it to the wreath using more floral wire.

 

 

The finished product looks great in my holiday vignette! :)
