Burlap lends crafts both texture and a rustic style. Craft stores often sell the rough fabric in a variety of colors, but consider browsing Craigslist or visiting your local bean roaster for unwanted coffee or rice holders with unique texts and fonts. Burlap can be refashioned into simple table runners and garlands, which is why so many DIY weddings have been featuring burlap. This versatile textile can even add unique contrast and detail to a linen dress or make for a unique envelope clutch. Read on for more inspiration and free burlap crafts how-tos.
Strips of unhemmed burlap are woven together for a unique table runner. Contrasting threads help prevent the edges from fraying while the burlap craft itself contrasts against crisp white plates and a mason jar bouquet of wildflowers.
