Burlap Garland *red* *white* *blue*

EASY Burlap Garland!

I got these rolls of burlap from burlapfabric.com 

(awesome site for all things burlap)

OH THE POSSIBILITIES!!!

 Thread a big yarn needle and make a big knot at the end of your yarn.

 Then all you do is weave your needle thru the burlap! SO EASY!!!

 If you know me tho, I can't keep anything plain! I added in all kinds of different ribbons, doilies, feathers, book pages, the kitchen sink.. HA!

 It's hanging proudly above my front door!

Burlap Cones and Paper Bouquet

BurlapFabric.com is a great resource for all things burlap! 

(great prices too!)

 I am working on some other projects as well I will be posting all month.. and into the next :)

Check out some other Burlap Projects I have already done. 

I thought some paper bouquets would be pretty around my house, or to give as gifts, so I made one.

This one turned out better than I imagined in my head.

I made the cone shape with some card stock, then I wrapped it with 4in burlap that I got from BurlapFabric.com.  

Making the flowers was so fun, I just got to play around with different textures.. and my glue gun!

I used pages from old books, paper doilies, ribbon and vintage typography that I printed off from The Graphics Fairy.

For this cone, I decided to go very simple...it probably wont stay that way :)... Anyway I draped it in a decorative ribbon, and put some feathers inside it. I think it's VERY shabby chic. I just love mixing textures!

Planter Drawers {Makeover}

Well I have done it again! I have been wanting to add some more planter drawers to the other side of my porch, and I finally did! 

To see the OTHER drawers go HERE

 I got these drawers from my late father in law.. he had a 'man room'.. and they were going to throw these out... well you all know I wasn't going to let that happen!

I got a (free) GORGEOUS stencil from Royal Design Studio at SNAP, I have been waiting for the perfect project to use it on, and I think I couldn't have chosen a better one! 

The stencil is called Indian Paisley 7.5inX10in 

I am still putting the finishing touches on our curb appeal makeover, so keep checking back for the whole reveal!
