Burlap Christmas Garland

Super cute burlap garland on my mantle!
(Burlap is so in right now)
how to make burlap garland

What you'll Need:
1 yard of burlap
twine
scissors
yarn needle 
3 ornaments (optional)
 Step One:  Cut the burlap into four inch strips. 
Tip:  If you pull out a thread four inches from the edge, it gives you a cutting guide.
 Measure your length of twine, however long you want it to be.  Cut it and tie a knot in one end. Thread your twine into your yarn needle and make large stitches. 
You'll find you have to push the burlap down to the knot.
 For a special twist, I added a 3 star ornaments spaced intermittently.
 Final Product!  A similar garland sells for $50.00 on etsy,
but without the ornaments, you can make this project for under $5.00!
