How to Make a Burlap Wreath

Posted by on May 23, 2013 in burlap, crafts, wreaths | 7 comments

I broke one of my cardinal rules of grocery shopping last night.

My kiddos are having movie day at school today.

This means that they are allowed to bring a drink and special snack.

So, in a moment of weakness. . .

. . . I bought a can of Pringles.

(Such a delicacy is usually saved only for our annual beach trip.)

When I arrived home with them,

I quickly made up 2 baggies of the dried potato goodness.

The problem then was,

the can had been opened.

Once the can is open,

it is all over. . .

I wish I could invite you to a garden party this week.

I would make a fudge pie.

Along with some sweet tea.

I don’t know exactly how I would set the table.

I know I would use my blue dishes

and, my grandmother’s green glasses.

I have a few ideas on the centerpiece. . .

Old Door for Photos

We were sitting at the dinner table last night,

when my oldest daughter, Daisy said with a smile,

“I learned something new about myself today.”

It is always fun to make new discoveries about yourself.

I thought maybe she was going to share a new food she likes.

Or, a new interest that she has.

I never knew that I wanted an old door. . .

until, I found blog world.

I have been on the hunt for months now.

So, you can imagine my excitement when I happened upon a yard sale last weekend

that was selling doors from a 100+ year old house!

My 13 year old daughter bought one too -

with her own money.

She follows a lot of you gals in blog world as well!

Once I got it home, I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do with it?

No Sew Burlap Table Runner

I LOVE the look of burlap.

Great texture.

Beautiful color.

Rustic look.

It doesn’t get any better than burlap.

But, as for sewing with it. . .

NO Thank You!

All of that great texture starts flying through the air. . .

and in my nose!

Yet, I really wanted a burlap runner for my dining room table.

So, I had to think of another way.
