Supplies
Orange burlap ribbon
Green burlap ribbon
Wire wreath form
Floral wire
Raffia
Driftwood piece
Scissors
Hot glue and glue gun
NOTE: I used an 18 inch wreath form which required three rolls of orange burlap ribbon and one of the green. Your supplies will depend on the size wreath you choose and how large you make your bubbles.
Instructions
Start with your orange burlap and your wire wreath form.
Cut a segment of floral wire.
Put it through the end of the orange burlap ribbon.
Secure the end anywhere on the inside edge of the wreath form by twisting the wire around.
Start from the back of the wreath and put the orange burlap ribbon up through the first segment of the wreath form.
Make a "bubble" with this piece of burlap ribbon however do not pull it all the way through.
Go to the next segment and make another bubble.
Repeat for the third and final segment.
Then twist your burlap ribbon twice and go back through the first segment making another bubble right next to your first one.
Continue like this all the way around your wreath form.
Be sure to leave a small area at the top for some green burlap ribbon.
To start a second roll of ribbon when your roll comes to an end, overlap the two ends. Then add floral wire through both pieces. Secure to the wreath form by twisting the wire.
Floral wire should also be used to secure the ends of the burlap ribbon when you are done.
Once you have all of your orange ribbon added and a little green, you can add a stem.
Secure a piece of driftwood in your wreath with some hot glue.
Tie on some raffia pieces to complete your burlap pumpkin wreath.
