Burlap Bow DIY
Burlap: file it under one of my favorite things! Seriously! I love using it whenever I can in decor for a natural look, and added texture. It’s primitive yet timeless, and when applied to the correct color palette or pattern it can work magic! I decided to give it a go making a double-bow ribbon made of burlap for the nursery under a lamb’s ear wreath.
Materials:
6 feet burlap ribbon, wired (I bought it at a nursery on our Massachusetts trip)
Scissors
Tacky Glue
Chip clips
Rubberband (or, preferably, florist’s wire)
Jute string (for tying to wreath)
The STEPS

I like using wired burlap because you can fluff up the loops and make it look fuller.
I tied the bow to this 22” faux lamb’s ear wreath using jute twine.
Ta da!!! I love how the ribbon turned out. I’ll be honest, I had spent days putting off this DIY because I didn’t think I had enough burlap. I would say that 6 feet was a perfect amount - I didn’t throw away a single inch! I hope this is a helpful DIY with clear steps, because this type of ribbon could seriously be used anywhere. It would make a great gift topper or adornment for any type of wall hanging decoration. The double bow adds a bit of extra oomphf too! A single loop would still look adorable if you’re low on material, but I recommend going for the extra :) Happy crafting!
