LOVING Burlap

Happy Sunday to you!!!  I hope you are having a GREAT weekend!  Our has been super fun so far.....cheer competition yesterday (went really well...so proud of the girls!), and today we decorated our tree!  I am SO happy!  LOVE LOVE LOVE that it's beginning to look and feel like Christmas!

I know, that's a weird title, but I'm having TOO much fun with burlap these days!  It's a nice cheap crafting medium that is neutral and can be matched with so many things (like Stampin' Up!'s Deck the Halls fabric!)

These were so fun and simple to make.....mason jars with a little burlap twist.  Now, I burned candles in these little guys, but you could create the fun recipe in a jars, homemade hot choclate, or anything else that fits in a jar!  To make these I simple ironed (yes, I ironed!) over the edges of the burlap and sewed them flat.  Then I took some of our Deck the Halls fabric and ironed over the edges.  I then stitched it onto the burlap, marked where the two seams overlapped, stitched the two ends together, embellished and voila....a little mason jar sleeve!!!  FUN STUFF!  Hope you like the quick post today....off to visit with a great friend this afternoon with Mark and Nathan before heading to cheer with Emma.  Hope you have a GREAT day!  (How many Christmas lights do you think Adam will get up with Cole this afternoon:)

Hugs,

Heather

love the natural look for Christmas, so reflective of "old home", and loving mine too ;)
