Trish and I have very different Christmas decorating styles. She loves a soft, beachy look and I like a nature inspired warm look. Yet, there is one element we both use…BURLAP!
Incorporating burlap into your Christmas decor is a great way to bring in a bit of texture and a neutral color that goes with a lot of different styles and themes.
So I know Thanksgiving is not here yet but for those of you who make decorations for your home, a little pre-planning is needed to get it done in time. Let me show you how we use burlap in our homes and in our holiday decorating…
There are so many different ways to use burlap during the holidays whether with decor or gifts, sewing or no sew, painted or stenciled. The ideas and inspiration are everywhere.
So let’s get started…
One of our favorite projects ever is this No Sew Burlap Tree Skirt…
The burlap used as a Christmas tree skirt really adds a beautiful neutral texture at the base of the tree. It is sturdy and can stand up to the little ones.
Another way to use burlap is in your gift wrapping…
A simple, large burlap bag embellished with some snowflakes is not only a beautiful accent, but practical too. This Burlap Bag Gift Wrap idea is so quick and simple!
And how about a few unique Christmas Stockings with burlap?

Or how about simply using wired burlap ribbon in your Christmas crafts?
This sweet Christmas Angel uses burlap ribbon as the wings. A bit of “out of the box” thinking can help you incorporate burlap into your Christmas decorations.
Nothing creates instant holiday decor like pillows, so why not use a bit of burlap to make them neutral and beautiful…
The possibilities with these simple Burlap Holiday Pillows are endless.
Maybe you are a bit more formal? Burlap can be dressed up too…
