WHAT ARE BURLAP SHEETS?
Laminated burlap sheets are a great shortcut for crafts. (Who doesn’t love a good shortcut in crafting, cooking, and most anywhere in life?) There are tons of things you can do with these sheets. You can actually use them in an inkjet printer, print text on them and frame it.
Paint on them if you want. Get creative because you are going to love working with these burlap sheets.

HOW TO MAKE RUSTIC BURLAP CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
I love Christmas ornaments and homemade ornaments are even better. These make a lovely gift or addition to a Christmas package.
STEP ONE: CUT CIRCLES
Start off by removing the hanger from the snowflake ornament and set it aside for later. I found these snowflake ornaments at Hobby Lobby.
Now put a mason jar lid on the laminated burlap sheet and trace around the lid with a pencil. Do this over if you plan to make more than one ornament.
Cut the circles out of the burlap sheet.
STEP TWO: GLUE BURLAP
Now use some hot glue to attach the burlap circle to the top of the mason jar lid. The burlap is facing outward on the lid.
Grab the snowflake ornament and glue it to the top center of the burlap covered lid.
STEP THREE: ATTACH RING
It is time to secure the mason jar lid to the mason jar ring.
Run a small strand of hot glue around the inside edge of the mason jar ring and then insert the mason jar lid and press it into place.
STEP FOUR: COVER RING
Now we want to cover the mason jar ring with the decorative burlap ribbon or jute. Use hot glue to attach what you have to the mason jar ring and cut off any that remains.
STEP FIVE: ADD HANGER
It is time to add a hanger to the ornament. Cut a piece of jute twine about 5 inches long.
Fold the twine in half and knot the loose end about 1 inch from the end.
Hot glue the loose ends of the twine on the inside rim of the mason jar ring.
Bend the jute twine around the edge and place a small dot of glue on the top to attach the knot.
