I was looking for peat pots in the garden center at Lowe's recently and ran up on these rolls of landscaping burlap for $9.98.
I think it looks just as good as that bought in a fabric shop.
I'm thinking I might make some kind of window treatment for the sun room from it, but so far all I have used it for is as a runner of sorts on the dining room table.
One side of the burlap is fringed. It looks like this when it is spread out completely. This would be fine for fringe on a window treatment, I think. But I decided to change it some and just folded the edges under for now.
I think this looks alright, although I might trim or hem the sides at some point.
This urn was a ten dollar consignment find as was the cake plate below.

I like the look of white and pink with the burlap.
I'd love to hear your ideas for using the burlap. I have 72 square feet!
I'll share at:
WOW, love this post! I have never noticed burlap in my garden centers before. So glad you shared this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun find in the garden dept! I have always liked that pretty Pfaltzgraff pattern too. Jane
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...I may have to go get some burlap!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI like this idea, Kathy! You could also make place mats or stencil a piece for a wall hanging. I have 2 or 3 yards of bleached burlap from JoAnn's and I'm hoarding it until I can think of something to use it for! ;-D
ReplyDeleteXO,

Love your ideas. Tweeted your post.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of burlap! An easy way to use some is to wrap it around a plant container and add a bow made of jute or something similar. I love to combine fabric and burlap to make banners too. You'll think of something. Thanks for visiting my blog and for the follow and I'm happy to follow back!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Kathy! I didn't even know they sold "landscape burlap". What a great find. I made curtain panels out of mine. You could recover an ottoman and stencil a graphic or lettering onto it. I have a feeling you'll find plenty of uses for that.
