Start

at the top or bottom of the wreath form and pull burlap up into a loop about four inches. Then twist the burlap and pull up the middle bar of the wreath form. Twist again and pull through the bottom of the wreath form, now twist and start over at the top again.

Do

this until you have placed four rows of loops on one section. I am choosing to put two sections of two colors and four sections of the red.

Step 7: Ending the First Color and Starting the Second.

To change colors you first take the color you have just finished and cut about four inches away from you last loop.

. Then pull the four inches through the bottom wire part of the wreath form, it will stay in place for you. Now repeat with your new color as you did with the first. You will do this until the wreath form is covered in all of your burlap.
