Wheat Weaving Tutorial: Candle Wreath

In this wheat weaving tutorial, I’ll show you how to weave a candle in a wreath. It works well as a harvest design or an ornament for a Christmas Tree.

Wheat Weaving Tutorial: Candle Wreath

MATERIALS USED:
1 straws with head
15 straws without heads
White thread
Scissors
Soaking basin and water
Ribbon

This is one of my own designs, but it’s inspired by many traditional weaving designs. It utilizes one of my favorite weaving plaits for the wreath area, the chain rickrack.

While the chain plait used in this wheat weaving tutorial can be a bit difficult to master initially, a little practice usually has one getting down the rhythm pretty quickly. And the beautiful end result is well worth the effort.
