I can't believe that Fall is already here....so to get in the spirit of things I made some projects using burlap.
Here is a cute little pumpkin I made from a foam one I found at the $ Store. About 6" tall - it's just the right size. I used a technique I saw on Alexa's site - Swell Designer - a very clever way to cover a pumpkin and so easy. I cut out the stem then glued the strips of frayed burlap around the pumpkin, pushed the ends inside and held them in place with a few short sequin pins and glue. The leaves are two layers of burlap glued together for stiffness then cut into leaf shapes. I added a single strand for veins on each then glued these inside.
I covered the stem then pushed it back into place to hold everything together. Add a bow and it's done. I like how it turned out.
Here is my wreath - I found the foam wreath in the $ section at Target. First cover with strips of frayed burlap then glue and pin a pleated strip around the edge. Make easy flowers and leaves from different colors of burlap, glue into place and it's ready to hang. Very fun and easy to make. Well, now that Fall is done - onto Christmas - which will be here in no time. Hope you like them.
