Burlap Garland Mantel Scarf/Runner
November 15, 2012
I love burlap! Over the past year I have added burlap valances to my kitchen windows and burlap curtain panels to my living room windows. I have also purchased a few burlap runners for my tables too.
My living room curtain panels are from Ballard's Designs. If you don't remember them, they look like this:
My kitchen valances were made from a Christmas garland that I purchased on clearance last January.
If you like these burlap valances you can see how I made them here.
Earlier this month I found more burlap garland at the same local floral and gift shop. (not on clearance though)
This garland was narrower than the one made into valances. Instead of using it on my Christmas tree, I thought it might work as a runner or mantel scarf. I have always wanted a mantel scarf but my mantel was too narrow for all standard sizes.
Here is the garland on the mantel. I raveled each end up 9 inches and then tied a knot in every four to five strands.
The garland has not been ironed yet, but the next time you see it under the Christmas mantel decorations, it will be pressed!
If you like burlap and you have a narrow mantel, burlap Christmas garland may work for you too.

I haven't done much on the 'BURLAP TRAIN' yet. I think it's pretty...maybe I'll get there as it's pulling out of the station!

Great idea to use the ribbon as a mantel scarf!
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you made tassels on the ends! So cute. Love the numbers. I've got one of those wafer thin mantles too... If spaghetti came in a mantle scarf I'd be set. :)
ReplyDeleteThat works really well on the mantel. I have no burlap here-yes I am strange:}
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I've been working on some burlap tablecloths that I plan on sharing soon. Thanks for the inspiration!Carlene.
