DIY Burlap Decor

This past weekend, we co-hosted an engagement party for our friends. When we initially started planning the party, I immediately put myself in charge of decorations and invitations. Of course, I always come up with these insane ideas for decorations and invitations that I can never find in a store, so I end up making them myself. I'll admit that I may have seen some of these ideas on Pinterest :)

The Invitation

(Read my blog about creating this invitation here: DIY Burlap Invitations)

Hot glue a strip of burlap and a strip of lace around a mason jar.  

Fill mason jars with flowers for cute, rustic centerpieces!

We used simple white tablecloths with strips of burlap as table runners. 

Painted burlap as a sign to hang on the front door

I used scraps of burlap and lace trim to make a banner for the mantle. 

You can get a simple frame and put a piece of burlap instead of a picture in it. Then use it as a dry erase board for guests to write messages to the bride and groom! Great alternative to a traditional guest book.
