Pinterest Love no. 6

Here are my favorite Pinterest finds this week. Enjoy!
1. Table Top Letters

This looks like a fun way to add dimension to a table top. I don't know about you but I love typography (letters & numbers). My only concern would be using the table and I would probably add a piece of glass on top or maybe epoxy.

2. Trophy and Medal Display

I think this is a great idea for all the participation medals my kids get. I'm definitely adding this to my to do list.

3. Blanket Ladder Display

This is so sweet and functional. In our house we keep the temperature low and use a lot of lap blankets and quilts when we're watching TV to keep warm. This is a great way to store and display those blankets and quilts.

4. Beaded Glass Gifts

This is the perfect little housewarming or hostess gift. Its something unique that will be sure to be cherished. All the directions are provided on the link. Check it out.

5. Lace Top with Turquoise Bead Necklace

I really love that necklace. I love Turquoise. I think I'll work on making a necklace like that. Love Love Love.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Burlap Table Runners

I was so excited when I found a couple yards of burlap at my local Goodwill! I didn't have anything in mind when I bought it but I knew I'd find a project. I looked on Pinterest for ideas. I found some great ones. Like:

and

 also from https://www.craftfoxes.com/blog/7-sophisticated-burlap-crafts 

But I was really inspired when I went to my Sister-n-Law's house (she has the most amazing style) and saw a Burlap Table runner on her kitchen table. She had purchased it a vintage flea market in Hillsboro, OR a few months ago. I decided I wanted to make myself one. So I washed my burlap and let it dry outside... burlap is so stinky. After it was dry I ironed it and ironed it. Finally it was ready to cut, I used the method described on Ella Claire Inspired to avoid it completely unraveling.

After cutting and sewing the edges I added some lace...The results.

I made a blue lace runner

I made a white lace runner





I ended up making four long table runners; two with white/cream lace, one blue and one with black lace. I also made three short runner; two with cream lace and one with black lace. All from the burlap I purchased at the Goodwill.

I'm going to make these available at my next sale but if you're interested in one let me know. $5 for the short ones and $10 for the long runners. I can send measurements... just let me know.

Have a great day!
