Thanksgiving Burlap Bunting

I never decorate for Thanksgiving. I typically use the time between Halloween and Christmas to mentally prepare myself for the madness that is decorating for Christmas. But I whipped up a small Thanksgiving project for the ‘be thankful’ portion of the Dare to DIY series I’m co-hosting with Kim, Michelle, and Rachel. And I knew the perfect place for my creation– on the card catalog, of course.

Honestly, I wanted the bunting to say ‘give turkey’ but I figured ‘give thanks’ was a more practical approach.

This project was pretty easy to execute and took about an hour to make. I used leftover burlap from my ruffled burlap table runner project and a bunting template, which I edited because I have perfection issues, for the the bunting flags. The letters were stenciled on with acrylic paint . The stencils were created with my Silhouette (speaking of Silhouettes, have you entered the Silhouette giveaway?). And I hot glued the flags to grosgrain ribbon. I had all the materials on hand so I spent a whopping $0 to create this festive burlap bunting.

I think it looks pretty good tied onto the card catalog. But then again I think you could tie underwear to the card catalog and it would still look good. It’s like Channing Tatum. That man would look smokin’ in a potato sack. Or underwear. Or burlap bunting.

Jack even agrees that the bunting looks great on the card catalog. And he’s picky about his endorsements.

    Well, great. Now I’m picturing your burlap bunting being wound around Channing Tatum. And I can’t say I dislike it, but it’s not how I planned to start my Friday. Your bunting is super cute . . . even if it’s just on your card catalog instead of a certain sexiest man alive 🙂

    I totally agree with you about not decorating for Thanksgiving. I barely got around to Halloween this year because I am so excited about living in a house this year during Christmas that I have been planning since mid-October. I blame Pinterest. Thanks for this great challenge can’t wait to see what everyone does next week.

    Love the burlap! I’ve had a hankering to play with burlap since seeing it at a tabletop event last week. I think it will be making an appearance soon in a Christmas tablescape. Thanks for the fun link party!
