Burlap is arguably one of the most functional and versatile fabrics found in any craft room. It’s unique and natural texture makes it a wonderful choice for those looking to incorporate a country-chic appeal into home décor. While it’s known for being a durable fabric, it’s just as easy to manipulate through a sewing machine. This means it’s as simple to transform a panel of burlap into a functional drawstring backpack as it is into a decorative garland for the home.
Burlap's breathability provides an ideal base fabric for creating a hanging planter when incorporating greenery indoors. The neutral color of burlap provides plenty of room for creativity when it comes to pairing it with other fabrics as well. For an elegant touch, burlap can be paired with a soft floral fabric, while edging burlap in white can provide just the right aesthetic balance when crafting a trendy clutch. From cat toys to topiaries, burlap is the best option when it comes to a fabric that’s easy to work with and looks professional in its final form.
