please exuse how wrinkly it is :)
That is red velvet ribbon, which i thought would be a lot easier to find. walmart has it and Joannes doesnt. Who would thought?
I gave myself a few blisters using the gluegun while making the rosettes.
Supplies:Burlap: what i did was buy 3 yards and just cut it in half lengthwise, then those two pieces in half horizontally. SO you end up with 4 table runners out of 3 yards
Velvet ribbon-do whatever color you want
scissors
hot glue gun
Instructions:
to cut the burlap straight can be hard. Just make a little cut where you want it then pull one of the burlap threads out. It gives you a nice line to follow.
Pull the threads out of the burlap for as wide as you need for your ribbon. Then just thread your ribbon over under where you want it (see the last picture posted for how i did mine).
After I threaded the ribbon I hot glued the ends of it to the burlap just so it would not fray or move.
For the burlap rosettes I had removed about 3 1/2 inches of burlap from one side of the tablerunner. Cut the burlap strip into three long pieces then cut those in half. You will now have 6 pieces of burlap to make rosettes out of. Just hot glue those onto the tablerunner when you are done. It was fairly easy. I didnt have much to go off of from the shows demonstration. Here is the link of what I saw...
