Trend Alert: Burlap

Burlap is nothing new.  It’s been used in country style decor for years.  What is new is that it is being spotted EVERWHERE!  Most surpising . . . in formal and elegant decor.  I’ve been seeing it on wall art, trendy handbags and even couches . . . YES couches.  Pottery Barn has touches of it everywhere.  I decided to try my hand at it and see what I could come up with.  I’d love to hear your comments and and ideas you have.

    I have always loved the look of burlap but have never worked with it. You ideas are fantastic. Where is the best place to get burlap?

    Wow – I love these things. I especially love the place mats and will add them to my list of projects.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I am also a huge fan of burlap. I haven’t ever seen stencil adhesive spray, I have always made my stencils out of freezer paper and ironed them on. Is this type of stencil re-useable?

    Hey Kristine! I just found your blog through Ucreate! Love your ideas! I don’t know if you remember me but our husbands went to law school together. I saw the video and said hey I know her…so good to see you. Say hi to your family and Hi to Dan from Doug!

    Super cute! I have been doing a ton of things with burlap as well! I use recycled coffee bean bags for my burlap source! I have a question on the cutter and true type font software, does that work with the cricut?

    First off I just wanted to thank-you for becoming a fan of “Look What I found Sis”. I am a huge fan of you and you couldn’t have made my day brighter. I didn’t see your studio 5 debute untell just now. You were great!! I think it was nice to see your burlap contributions it is one of my favorite medium’s. Ironically I had just posted a spotlight on my blog about burlap… how funny. Thanks for inspiring me. Keep up the fun crafts!

    Honestly, I just purchased mine at Walmart : )

  16. Kristine McKay Says:

    that sounds cool. the cardstock can be used a couple of times but if it is a shape that you know you’ll want to use over and over, Cricut sells stencil sheets that you can use in any electronic cutter. It is made from a plastic that can be wiped off and reused.

  17. Kristine McKay Says:

    Oh my heck! Small world. Dan said to tell Doug hi as well!
