DECORATING WITH  DAYBAG

Looking for a cheap and easy way to create your very own no-sew burlap curtains? Burlap curtains can give your home a rustic and inviting feel, and you can create your own in no time at all!

 

Before you get started, you’ll need to grab a few things: some burlap (about 3 1/2 yards per panel, depending on the size of your window), scissors, pins, an iron, and some stitch witchery.

 

Grab your burlap and lay it out flat. If your burlap has any wrinkles in the material, you can get rid of them with a steam iron.

 

Now you’ll want to create a hem by grabbing the end of your burlap and folding it over a length of stitch witchery, making sure to leave enough room for your curtain rod to fit through.

 

Pin the edges of your fold to help hold the hem for now. 


To get your stitch witchery to adhere, use your iron on the hem above the stitch witchery and make a single, slow pass over your hem. If your witchery doesn’t adhere in an area, make another pass over the area.

 

Repeat this step for the curtain for the other side of the window. 

 

For some additional flair, if you have any matching rope, cloth or twine on hand, you can tie it loosely on each curtain, positioning it where you think it looks best.

 

Grab your curtain rod and feed it through the hems on both curtains.

 

Now, the only thing you have left is to do is to put up your newly crafted curtains and marvel at how amazing they look!

Gardening twine is one of the most useful tools in a gardener’s tool box. However, newer gardeners might not be aware of the broad uses of twine in a garden. Twine is a durable, light thread made up of two or more strands which are twisted together resulting in increased strength. We’ll cover how someone might use twine to support their plants and what the best practices are for doing so.

It’s Springtime again, and that means landscaping and gardening are back in full swing. However, before you lay down new mulch or soil, consider adding extra protection against weeds with a burlap sheet. Weeds can be a nuisance and can get worse as they grow and spread. Mulch and gravel can deter some of the weaker species but they aren’t perfect when it comes to more tenacious plants. A burlap layer can provide a screen that blocks unwanted weeds from robbing the nutrients from your soil. This, in turn, allows your plants to flourish.

Gardening requires both hard work and patience to see the fruits of your labor. It can also be discouraging when rabbits, deer, and groundhogs turn your hard work into a meal. Have you considered using burlap to protect your garden?
