Nine Ways to Add Burlap to Your Decor

Hi, my name is Carolyn and I'm addicted to burlap. 

There, I said it!   Although, admitting it doesn't necessarily mean I have a sincere desire to change.  :)

How could anyone not love burlap?  It's inexpensive, looks natural, is easy (although slightly messy) to work with, comes in a variety of colors and even patterns, and is readily accessible. 

If you like burlap but aren't quite sure where you can fit it into your décor, here are a few examples from around our home:






Burlap tucked between objects in a vignette - as filler and to add texture and softness

 



 

Burlap monogram -
Cut monogram out of thick cardboard, cover in burlap using hot glue and outline with brass thumbtacks. 
Wooden laser cut frame purchased at Michaels and spray painted Rustoleum Heirloom White

 

 

 



Burlap runner - Cut to size and fringe all four sides - no sewing needed

 

 

Wreaths - Cut strips of burlap and tie to wire wreath form

 

 

Burlap backing for framed monogram

 



Burlap charger (purchased at Hobby Lobby) to brighten a dark bookcase

 

 

 

Burlap trees - cover Styrofoam cone forms with strips of burlap using hot glue.

These were then spray painted with metallic gold paint.

 



 

 



Dress up a plain candle - wrap with burlap trim and tie with a pretty ribbon.  Easy peasy!
 



Burlap drum lamp shade purchased at Lowe's



 

Looks as if I'm bordering on overuse of burlap .... maybe it's time to introduce a new material to my décor? 

 

In what fun ways have you used burlap in your home and your décor?
