11 Comments Merry Christmas Burlap Ribbon
This project couldn’t be easier and yet it packs a huge punch in my Christmas decorating.
Supplies:
- Easy Gardener 4″ Burlap Strip in a roll ($20, available in the fall)
- Toll Craft Paint
- Plastic Wrap
- Small Foam Roller
- Paper Plate
- Tape
- Stencil (2 sheets photo paper)
- Xacto Knife
I rolled out blue plastic wrap and taped it on my island to protect it. Then I rolled out the burlap and laid the stencil on top. I only taped the two ends but held the stencil down as I rolled the dark gold paint over the stencil. Gently lift the stencil and place down in a new spot. Repeat over and over and over again. Don’t worry, you get really fast after a few Merry Christmases. Oh, and clean up is breeze, just wrap up the wrap and it’s a wrap (OK, I’m over doing it a bit)!
As the paint dried, I hung the ribbon from the island to the cook top and back and forth. Once it was dry, I rolled it up while I decided what do use it for. My Very Merry Christmas Tablescape was the perfect place to try it out.
Tucked into my Christmas mantle.
I have used it in just about every part of my Christmas decor this year. Look for it in my up coming Christmas Open House.

I think this is a fantastic look! Great job!
Wow! I love your “ribbon” Great job stenciling, I’ll have to check out our local garden center! Thanks for sharing, I’m now a follower!
Great job !! Looks beautiful. This is a definate project for next year. Thanks for the inspiration.
My Good Lord in Heaven, that is a great idea! I had no clue that burlap came this way, now I’ll have to keep my eyes open. Such a simple project with a big impact. And 300 feet? Wow.
Burlap rocks! I do a ton of stuff with it. And I love how you incorporated it into the mantle, which came out great!
Michaels has burlap in small rolls (4″ or 6″ wide, I don’t remember) and the edges are finished for around $10. I keep meaning to pick some up but I haven’t yet. Maybe this weekend!

Awesome Jamie, thanks for the tip!
I love it! I was so excited until I read it was available in the Fall. Hmmm. Wonder if the big orange box has any left???
where did you find that ribbon? love it!
Home Depot, silly! In the fall garden section.
Sorry, I really did read your post
I saw that you said Home Depot. I asked there about 2 weeks ago – before Thanksgiving and they looked at me like I was crazy. I even walked the garden center looking. I did find burlap folded up in the tree/ground cover section but no burlap rolls. Wonder if I caught it too late – November too late for fall stuff? I will check at another Home Depot. If not, I am going to make a big reminder to start checking in August next year for it! 
Oh bummer Christina. You can always order it from burlapfabric.com
