Customer Creation: Kim’s Burlap Christmas

We were super excited when Kim sent us these photos. Here is what she wrote to us (info@burlapfabric.com – feel free to share photos and ideas, we love posting here!):

Thought I would share my recent ornaments that I made by running the burlap right through my printer. Instead of using large stickers like many suggested, I used Elmer’s spray glue and cut the burlap close to a 8.5 x 11 size, sprayed one side of the fabric and stuck it to a heavy stock paper, not card stock though. It worked splendidly.

DIY Burlap Pillow X-Mas Gift

This is something made from one of our customers. She sent us this in an e-mail with a photo:

This is what I made for me daughter with one of your pillows. They are Xmas gifts for her.
The lace is from her wedding day. It was used to decorate the church pews, the pearls were also used in the pews as well as in her dinner table flower arrangements and the broach was one of two used on her wedding cake.
