Instructions
Step 1: Covering the Wreath Form
Flip over the pumpkin wreath form and place the burlap fabric on the backside. Wrap the fabric around the form, cutting excess fabric with scissors.
Apply hot glue in small sections onto the wreath form and pull the burlap fabric over it. Continue until the entire form is covered. Trim any excess fabric if necessary.
Step 2: Attaching the Sunflowers
Remove the sunflowers from their stems using wire cutters, leaving about an inch of the stem.
Apply hot glue to the backside of a sunflower and push the stem through the burlap fabric, ensuring the glue spot aligns with where the flower touches the fabric.
Repeat the process, covering the entire wreath with sunflowers.
Step 3: Creating the Stem and Finishing Touches
Reserve a small section of burlap (about 3 inches by 4 inches) for the stem.
Fold the burlap piece to reduce transparency, then secure it to the wreath stem with hot glue.
Fold the back sides of the burlap over each other and glue to secure.
Attach a leaf from the sunflowers to the stem using hot glue.
