Take one end and begin weaving in between the the plastic frame.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SA96VsoZLns/UQg5hkOVhiI/AAAAAAAAZ-8/W0fNDglbcYQ/s1600/IMG_6448.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SA96VsoZLns/UQg5hkOVhiI/AAAAAAAAZ-8/W0fNDglbcYQ/s640/IMG_6448.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Step 3- As you pull through your burlap leave a little at the end and don't pull tight or pull all the way through. This is how your burlap will stay in place. Although I have never secured it onto the frame with anything, you probably could use a twisty tie or a piece of wire to secure your end.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2BQZ8KTktA/UQg5vqvzP4I/AAAAAAAAZ_E/0BPyXFZR_QM/s1600/IMG_6451.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2BQZ8KTktA/UQg5vqvzP4I/AAAAAAAAZ_E/0BPyXFZR_QM/s640/IMG_6451.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Step 4: Continue weaving the loops around the frame. Your pattern should be the outer edge, middle and inner edge and repeat going back and forth. Your loops should be the same size. You will fluff and move around your burlap when you are finished.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IBFXBdiIu5w/UQg6JXL18II/AAAAAAAAZ_U/1DRo_82NB5g/s1600/IMG_6453.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IBFXBdiIu5w/UQg6JXL18II/AAAAAAAAZ_U/1DRo_82NB5g/s640/IMG_6453.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Step 5: When you are done , take your scissors and cut off and long pieces from the back and any stray strings from the front. Fluff out and move the burlap around so that the plastic heart frame is not showing. To hang, I put some jute string through the hole and tied. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iyC1I1PQevI/UQUmxlhgJmI/AAAAAAAAZ74/Bt8_maMLhNA/s1600/IMG_6358.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iyC1I1PQevI/UQUmxlhgJmI/AAAAAAAAZ74/Bt8_maMLhNA/s640/IMG_6358.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The things we do for love... the things we do for love.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H5ysYKoHVfs/TwEIGl8ZIgI/AAAAAAAARN0/ZQxgRse_W6Q/s1600/signature.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H5ysYKoHVfs/TwEIGl8ZIgI/AAAAAAAARN0/ZQxgRse_W6Q/s1600/signature.png" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">PS- for more instructions on how to make the wreath, not how to get poison oak, you can click <a href="http://keswickcountry.blogspot.com/p/additional-instructions-for-burlap.html">here</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Grateful for~</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">My little cub getting his Bobcat badge last night.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><script src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></center><center><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Want Top This Top That delivered directly to your inbox?</span><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #6a6969; line-height: 20px; padding: 13px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It’s easy!  Just enter your e-mail address.</span></div><br /><div><form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=TopThisTopThat', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true" style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" target="popupwindow">Enter your email address:<br /><input name="email" style="width: 140px;" type="text" /><br /><input name="uri" type="hidden" value="TopThisTopThat" /><input name="loc" type="hidden" value="en_US" /><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" /><br />Delivered by <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/" target="_blank">FeedBurner</a></form>Sharing at:<br /><a href="http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2013/02/sns-174-its-all-about-valentines.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20blogspot/KCcu%20(Funky%20Junk%20Interiors)"><i>Funky Junk Interiors</i></a><br /><a href="http://tatertotsandjello.com/2013/02/weekend-wrap-up-party-and-kiwi-crate-giveaway.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20blogspot/OivM%20(Tatertots%20and%20Jello)">Tatertots and Jello</a><br /><a href="http://frenchcountrycottage.blogspot.com/2013/01/feathered-nest-friday_31.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20blogspot/QoLtm%20(FRENCH%20COUNTRY%20COTTAGE)"><i>French Country Cottage</i></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></center>
