Given the recent popularity of our new Burlap and Gingham Kitchen Curtains, I am guessing that you all still really enjoy a good burlap project! Burlap is certainly a home decor trend that's not going away any time soon. And with its versatility and modest price, why not give it a try?!! Here is a quick recap of some of the burlap projects from the past year here at Opulent Cottage.
My love affair with burlap started with a couple of Painted Initial Burlap Pillows, made for our back patio last fall.
I wanted a special decoration for our daughter's weekend home from college, so I used some Collegiate Duck Tape and burlap strips to create a UT Themed Bow for our front door wreath.
This lumbar/body pillow received an update with a Fall Greetings message painted onto burlap! It's a perfect fit for the bench on our front porch.
A simple drape of some leftover burlap created an elegant tablecloth for a relaxed dinner on our back patio.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a recap of some past burlap projects! There's more, too, so I'll keep digging through the archives, and be back soon with round two! Hope you all are having a good week :)

Love your Fall Greetings pillow, Andrea! I haven't done any sewing projects with burlap yet. I keep thinking it will jam up my {still fairly} new sewing machine.

For the lumbar pillow, did you just stuff it or did you have a pillow form?

Still just love the Fall Greetings pillow. I must make one for my front porch bench. All of the projects are great!

I came to your blog through Pinterest following the Fall Greetings long burlap pillow. I love it! I have that Cricut cartridge and hope to make a similar one for our porch bench. I have been cutting my templates out of freezer paper which I can then iron to burlap or any fabric. The paint doesn't usually seep through that way and I can get close to the edge.
I got a good tip on how you store your basil too while reading your blog. I was just in my garden this morning and wondering which route I should take to freeze it.
