STEPS – DIY RUSTIC SWAG

Step 1: Building Your Swag

Start with your base.

Intersperse twigs, if you have them.

Intersperse other dried elements.

Place florals on top. Faux or real works just fine.

Step 2: Binding It Together

Wrap an elastic band around the base.

Cut off uneven bits.

Wrap burlap around the base a couple of times, covering the elastic band.

Wrap an elastic band around the burlap to secure it to the base.

Taking your twine, tie the tip around the elastic at the back.

Begin wrapping the twine around the burlap.

Snip twine and tie the tip to the back with a double knot.

Taking more twine (I used 3 long lengths), tie a bow around the base with a double knot.

Hang and enjoy!

 

I loved adding a touch of rusticity to our entryway. I think it suits our space well.

I hope you enjoyed walking through how to make this DIY rustic swag. It took me about 10 minutes from start to finish (not including my ‘fussing’ over the shape of it😊). Making a quick swag like this one is a great way to dress up your front door or any wall that needs a little love.

Happy crafting 🙂
