I’ve challenged myself to do 90-95% of my Christmas gift wrapping with kraft paper this year.  Soooo, I’ve been busy trying to whip up some ‘homemade’ embellishments.  I knew one thing I wanted to try was the burlap bow.  Anywho, I did a little research, made a trip to JoAnn Fabrics — and here we are.  I’m super excited to share this tutorial with all of you.  Overall, this is super easy (maybe a little messy, but that’s burlap for ya. wink).

For your supplies, you’ll need burlap, pinking scissors, glue gun and stapler.

You’ll then want to cut {seven} strips of burlap about 1/2″ to 3/4″ in width.  Length wise you’ll need two 10″ strips, two 9″ inch strips, two 8″ strips and one 4″strip.

For each of the strips (except for the 4″ one), you’ll want to loop each end around and staple them together in the middle (see below).

Try to keep the sets of two together… it will help a bit for the next step {smile}.

You’ll want to start with the two 10″ loops.  Create an ‘x’ with them as displayed below.  Using your handy dandy glue gun to hold them in place.  You’ll then want to place the two 9″ loops in the similiar ‘x’ shape on top of the other two.  Continue this until all six of the strips/loops have been used.

{Squeal}!  It’s looking good.  Isn’t this exciting?  Well, we’re officially ready to complete your bow.  You’ll now take the 4″ strip and loop it into a circle and glue into the center of your bow.

Now, it’s time to get your ‘wrap’ on — and how exciting to be using some of your very own handmade embellishments.
And there you have your burlap bows!
