How to Make a Super Simple Woven Rope Wreath

Looking for a craft that won't break the bank but adds a touch of elegance to your space? Dive into the world of woven rope wreaths and let your creativity flourish for just a few bucks in materials.

Ingredients

  • 14-inch wire wreath form from Dollar Tree
  • Cotton clothesline from Walmart, Big Lots, supermarket, etc
  • Hot glue gun
  • Wire cutters and scissors
  • Yellow-orange poppy flowers from Dollar Tree
  • Faux baby's breath flowers from Dollar Tree, Walmart, Michaels, etc

Instructions

  • Start by taking the end of the clothesline and weaving it through the metal rings of the wreath form. Go under and over, then loop around on the inside or the outside and back through. Continue this process all the way around the wreath until you've used the entire clothesline.
  • Secure both ends of the clothesline to the underside of the wreath using a hot glue gun. Apply some dabs of glue to ensure they are firmly attached and won't show.
  • Take several branches of the baby's breath flowers, bunch them together, and place them on the open space of the wreath. Using the hot glue gun, glue the stems to the wire section. You can add two bunches of baby's breath on either side for a balanced look.
  • Pop the flowers off their stems and apply some hot glue to the bottom of each flower, around where the stem would be. Ensure that the glued section attaches securely to the wire section. You can use around 5 poppy flowers for a vibrant centerpiece.

Notes

Material Notes

You'll need enough flowers to cover the 6-8 inch section of wreath that isn't covered by the rope *or* a bit more rope to cover the entire wreath.
For a look like mine, you'll want 2 types of flowers:
    1. an outer layer of smaller flowers or greenery such as baby's breath, lavender, decorative grasses, lambs ear, etc.
    2. a center section of larger flowers such as poppies, sunflowers, dahlias, mums, etc.
*You can see part of the form on my wreath, so you can spray paint the wreath form to match the rope before wrapping the wreath if you'd like.

Variations for the Craft

While the basic woven rope wreath is lovely, you can get creative and try different variations to suit your style and the season:
Seasonal Swaps: Swap out the types of flowers and colors to match the season. Use bright, pastel flowers for spring, warm and rustic tones for fall, or even add some ornaments for a festive winter wreath.
Natural Elements: Incorporate natural elements like pinecones, twigs, or dried leaves to give your wreath a rustic, outdoorsy feel. You can even wrap some twine or ribbon around it for an extra touch.
Monogram or Initials: Add a personal touch by incorporating your family's initials or a monogram in the center of the wreath. You can craft the letters from cardboard, paint them, and attach them securely.
