I have a love affair with burlap. I use it for projects all the time. MY one favorite thing to do with it is make garlands, usually intended for my fireplace. The robustness of the burlap makes it a great material to use (as opposed to something like cotton fabric which is too flimsy.) So for Flahsback Friday I thought I would round up all of my burlap banners along with some other inspirational styles. You will see with this round of up burlap banners, that the simple stenciled pennant style banner is only the tip of the iceberg.
