Burlap Wrapped Vase Tutorial

Tutes in 20 minutes or less!!!

I couldn't resist sharing one of my favorite simple tutorials anyone

can do at home in 20 minutes or less for Kate's Fall Craft link party!

Let me tell ya it's easy on the ol budget too!

Grab a vase.

(everyone has some kind of vase at home, if not you need a good basic.)

Get some burlap.

I always have some burlap on hand.  It comes in handy:)

It is multi-purpose, cheap and naturally casual and elegant.

Cut your burlap into a long strip that will fit all the way around the vase.

I like to leave some glass peaking through at the top and bottom.

You can let the glass peak or fully cover your vase it's up to you!

Wrap your burlap all the way around your vase cut off any excess if it's too long.

You can put a dab of hot glue if you like.  I didn't.

 I like to be able to easily remove the burlap and reuse my vase without.

Next you'll need some string. 

Another item I like to keep handy.

Wrap your string several times around the vase.

I tried to keep mine fairly centered. 

It does not have to be perfect. 

For me that is part of the casual charm.

Tie it off in the back and...

Viola! 

I added some dried Hydrangeas to mine.
 Perfect Fall casual cottage charm in only 20 minutes & budget friendly.
What more could you ask for???

This simple little project didn't cost a thing because I used things I had.
Normally I like to use flowers from my yard because it's also cost effective.

These are actually the bouquets that my bridesmaids carried at our wedding.

They dried out beautifully!

I love to use things in my decor that have meaning to us.

For me surrounding yourself with those special touches are what let you know your are home.
