DIY Burlap Window Coverings

Time to change it up...I have been wanting a new look for our nook area. I love my coverings now but I'm ready for something new. 
 
Before: (Spring/Summer Coverings)
 
 
I am really loving Burlap (although it is very itchy to work with). While paroozing the internet I saw this blog post from Red Barn Candle Company . It looked simple enough. Learning how to sew takes awhile when you don't practice, but she made hers with hot glue. I purchased the burlap it was about $7 dollars, ribbon was about $2.50 for 7 yards, I already had hot glue and my trusty mini glue gun. I used my iron to fold a "seam". It took me about 2 to 3 minutes for each panel.
 
After: (Fall/Winter Coverings)
 
 
Have any of you worked with Burlap? Do you have Burlap incorporated in to your home decor?
 
 
Thanks again to Red Barn Candle Company for the inspiration!

  3. In our last house I made our drapes with burlap. I love the natural look it has. Your window dressings look so nice! And you are right, they are perfect for fall!

    1. Thank you, I was suprised at how easy it was to make them, other than the itchy fabric these were very simple.
