So, for me, the whole burlap craze started

when I started seeing amazing wreaths like these:

(From Tatertots & Jello)

(From Craftaholics Anonymous)

So, I finally tried my hand at one...
and decided to mix the two above by adding
some burlap flowers like in the first photo to
a wreath done threaded like the second photo.

Here's what I got:

I was very happy with how this turned out.
I gave it as a birthday present to my best friend
recently. My cool twist? The flowers are attached
with safety pins so she can detach them and add
other embellishments throughout the year...
AND that makes the flowers WEARABLE
as pins, nice touch to a purse, etc.!

Well, that wraps up our week-long salute to burlap.
I hope you've enjoyed the ideas and projects.

Be sure to visit next week as Monday kicks off a
whole month devoted to organization tips & tricks
(see - told you Spring Fever has hit).
