BURLAP WEEK: DAY 3
PLAID PATTERN BURLAP COASTER
BURLAP WEEK DAY 1: Deconstructed French Chaise
BURLAP WEEK DAY 2: "Faux Sew" Burlap Pillow Cover
BURLAP WEEK DAY 3: Plaid Pattern Burlap Coaster
BURLAP WEEK DAY 4: Burlap & Jute Placemat
Are you ready for day 3? Today's simple project uses two items: a square of burlap and a straight upholstery needle.
It involves using the needle to lift a burlap fiber that you want to remove and pulling out the entire fiber from the rest of the fabric.
You can create whatever pattern you like. Here is what I ended up with...
Simply place it under a decorative object as shown below.
Another simple fabric project for us sewing-challenged folks!

PARTY RULES
- Project(s) must involve burlap!
- Project(s) must be your own...not a feature or summary of other people's work.

A very cute idea.

I love this idea! I have leftover burlap from my daughter's wedding and plan to do some plaid burlap projects now. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've never had a project using burlap, so this has inspired me to try it! visiting & now following via Shabby Creek Cottage! Can't wait to see what all the great projects in your party!
ReplyDeleteI love this concept of making a landing place for a treasured object! And your sweet little plaid burlap landing is perfectly simple, but perfectly wonderful. I never give much thought to this concept of making a landing place, but I think I must have genetically inherited the knowledge from generations past - women who collected tatted, embroidered and crocheted doilies and placed them beneath every single candy dish and vase in the house. :) Perhaps this is the fresh version of that tradition? I totally love it! ~diane
ReplyDeleteI love burlap and these would be cool Christmas gifts. My most recent burlap project was for Halloween, should I share?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to invite you to share your work on my Thingamajig Thursday party...

Love it Amy - as I was cleaning out my garage I ran across some really awesome linen that looks very similar. That would be a great table runner too! LOVE the little birdie!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Love that it's super easy too! Love your creativity! :)
ReplyDeleteAmy!!! I love the simplicity of this! I have a jewelry box that needs a little buffer to keep it from scratching my cedar chest!!! this is perfect.
