Burlap and Lace Runners

We've all seen the different types of burlap runners all over blogland. I've found a simple way to have them without sewing, gluing, or doing anything. All you will need for these is a pair of scissors.

I found this roll of burlap with lace already attached, a while back at Wal Mart, in the wedding section!! The roll has about five yards on it, and cost either $5.99 or $6.99, I can't remember.

Here are the places I've used this for runners. First I measured and cut off enough to cover this large table on my side of the bed. I have sleep apnea and require a bunch of paraphanalia, so I use a long table as my night stand.

I also cut a section to fit the night stand on the other side of the bed.

I only had a small piece left, just perfect for the coffee table.

I wish I had bought more than one roll, and plan to see if there is any left, next time I go to WM.

If you need runners, this is a great idea to get them at a great price, and really easy.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it. The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little. It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it! I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before. So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00. I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway. First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase. I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project. I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow. First, I found an old pillow I no longer use. I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it. I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers. I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night. The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion. I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
