Instructions:

Step 1:

Place the wreath frame on the cream felt and cut out the cross shape.

Step 2:

Use a mask when using the wood burner. Cut the cream poly burlap into 10-inch wide pieces.

Step 3:

Take your 10-inch burlap, fold it in half diagonally, then start gathering it in the middle section. It will look like angel wings. Put it at the center of the brackets at the bottom of your cross and secure it in place using a zip tie. The leaf should be halfway from the edge. Cut the excess zip tie with a wire cutter.

Step 4:

Take another 10-inch burlap and fold it the exact way. Place it 2 inches higher from the first one. Repeat until you fill up until the intersection of the cross. It should have 7 pieces.

Step 5:

For each of the 3 sides left, do the same but put the first one 2 inches away from the edge, then repeat two more times. You’ll put 3 folded burlaps on each side.

Step 6:

Take another 10-inch burlap and fold it the same way. Cut two inches from the bottom and zip tie on the middle of the cross.

Step 7:

Put greenery on each corner of the intersection and the two sides. Secure using zip ties. Next, decorate it with flowers.

Step 8:

Take a zip tie, insert it on the top of the wreath, and make a little loop for the handle.

Step 9:

Glue the felt you cut earlier to the back.
