DIY Burlap Wreath and Burlap Flowers
I finally had some time to play with burlap today! I have always been a HUGE fan. Recently I have made Thanksgiving banners for my home but today it was all about using my burlap by the yard! I was at Jo-Ann Fabric recently and was able to pick up some burlap for around $2 a yard! I grabbed 3 different colors, white, light brown (classic) and green. So on to the wreath!
