Burlap LOVE

I know I am not the only one with BURLAP love - something rustic about it
yet it can be easily kicked up to shabby or Parisian or holiday-ish.
{Did you know that Burlap came in a bunch of great colors???}
I want to share with you some fun pillows I made using this awesome fabric.


I cut out rectangle shapes of the burlap, sewed up the four sides leaving
an opening to stuff later. Then I got some fun FOAM letter stamps and I used
speed ball ink - but you could use acrylic paint as well.
Then I just went to town. I thought up some fun sayings and just stamped them
out and used some making memories Halloween stamps (images)
I made some larger pillows too and am just finishing them and will
share them later this week.

 

These are fun to add to your Halloween decorating. They would be great on your
outdoor patio - because they are burlap they can handle the elements.

Just so it's clear. These aren't to be washed unless you make a pillow case for the stuffing.
Because burlap is so cheap - I don't worry much about them getting dirty or
torn. They are cheap enough to toss away.

I will be sharing more fun Halloween projects that you can make and decorate with
between now and October 23...

Happy crafting....
I will be linking this up to the following parties:
