  Step 1

  First get two pireces of wood about the same size. I found an old piece in my basement and cut it in half.

  Then take the hangers and straighten them out. Bend the wire into a circle like in the picture. Do this with all your hangers and make sure the circles are the same size. I used 6 hangers, but you could use more or less if you want it smaller or larger.

• 

  Step 2

  Then attach the hangers together with the excess wire and build the frame. You could just buy one of those frames from a gardening store, but this way is a little cheaper!

• 

  Step 3

  Attach the wire frame to the wooden stakes with wire or string. Straighten the hangers as much as possible as you work your way up the frame.

• 

  Step 4

  Spread the burlap out and attach it to one side of the frame. I used hemp and just did I a little X stitch around each hanger circle.

• 

  Step 5

  Roll the rest of the burlap around the frame and stitch it all together. Fold the top over and stitch that down as well.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut holes in the burlap, making sure to leave enough space between each hole, so it will still hold it's shape.

  I left the bottom part of the hole still attached and just folded then inside once it was filled with soil. I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but it should strengthen the opening a little.

• 

  Step 7

  Then fill it with soil from the opening at the bottom and plant your strawberries in the openings.
