Burlap Wreath

Our house is kind of like a fishbowl--you can see straight in.  Our across-the-street neighbor is so blatant about it that she'll come over and say "I saw you had the TV on" or call and ask "what are you cooking?".

Take a look at the glass door and three windows in front:

They look right into our dining room, living room, and all the way through to the back deck.  We have a landscaper strategically planting some trees, but in the meantime, I decided a wreath was in order.

I made this by tying strips of burlap to a wire frame.  Time consuming and a bit messy as the burlap frays, but very inexpensive.  My mom reminded me of how we used to tie baggies to a wire hangar to make something similar (Google it!  People are still doing it!).  Now that the 80s are long gone, I think I'll stick with the burlap.
