Put a Pin In It - Burlap Vase Cover

Have you ever been so inspired by a pin that you immediately need to run out and hunt down all the supplies and create it as soon as possible?

When I saw Thistlewood Farm's 'easy peasy burlap vase project', I had one of those moments.  Less than a day later, I had my very own 'easy peasy burlap vase'.


Fortunately, I already had some flowers, thanks to a crafting experience gone wrong with my handsome husband.


So the timing of this 'easy peasy burlap vase' pin could not have been more perfect.


I love how the burlap wrap covers the stems and water and gives the flowers a more complete look.


This project certainly did live up to its name.  It was both easy and peasy. 


If you want to make one of your own, head over to Thistlewood Farm and check out KariAnne's tutorial.

    Karianne is an amazing source of inspiration! Did the burlap come with that writing on it?

    Beautiful! What a clever idea! I love when pins motivate someone to make their own creation. :)

    Yes I have been so inspired. At least inspired enough to run out and get the goods before I let them sit in wait of further inspiration for making the item.

    I had the same experience yesterday. Was looking at a pin board and the project grabbed me so I grabbed the car keys and high tailed it to the dollar store!

    Looks lovely!

    :)
