I will show you how to make this DIY square boxwood wreath with burlap bow for far less than buying one!
Square boxwood wreaths are everywhere this holiday season, but the price tags are very high on these beauties! I was determined to have one myself, but didn’t want to pay the $70 (and up) price!
My Supplies:
The square frame came from Goodwill. It originally framed an interesting print, but I just wanted it for its square shape. The frame was 18″ on each side. The spray paint is Krylon’s “Seaweed”. I also needed some green floral wire and four pieces of boxwood garland (found at JoAnn).
First I removed the print and glass from the wooden frame and spray painted it. I needed it to be green so that the frame wouldn’t show through the garland.
Next, I attached my first piece of green garland to the frame using the green floral wire. I simply wrapped the garland around (and around, and around…) the frame. One piece of garland covered about 18″ of frame. I repeated this process until the whole frame was covered!
There! Beautiful, no?
I found some nice, thick rolls of burlap at Hobby Lobby for half price! $2.50 a roll! Whoot!
I used this tutorial to make the bow and attached it to the wreath using more floral wire.

Super simple & elegant! Looks great!
I came over from Southern Hospitality – your photography is simply beautiful! I’m in love with anything boxwood, and that burlap banner is adorable. And the pops of red are a perfect touch 🙂
Love burlap and boxwood — super cute!
Great idea and you did a beautiful job. I especially like the look of the burlap bow.
This is so beautiful and cleaver too. I’ve always wanted a boxwood wreath but never splurged on one. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Hi there! Saw your project in Kate’s line up. I’m so excited…I have strands of this garland sitting in the garage waiting for a new project…and this is it! I LOVE your square wreath, and think this will be so fun to have out even after the holidays!
You didn’t mention the boxwood garland? Is it fake? Did you buy it or is it real?
Ann- The boxwood garland is fake and is from JoAnn Fabric. 🙂
Thanks…I did just see it in your tutorial. Sorry!
So charming, love it!
Have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas!

I really like that! Hope to find a square frame so I can make one. Why is it that the boxwood wreath looks so much more snazzy when it’s square? 🙂
Ha! That is a great question….maybe because it’s so much different than a traditional wreath?? 😉
