DIY No Sew Burlap Table Runner

I have loved decorating our dining room this year for Spring. I've put up subway art, upcycled jars with spring flowers, made a spring wreath, and placed moss & rocks in glass jars with candles. Something though on our table was missing and I wasn't sure what it was. Well, the other day I was reading Chase the Star and she had put together a very simple no-sew table runner on her table. I knew immediately that I loved it and wanted to make one. I love cute, easy, & affordable!!

At Michael's craft store you can buy a roll of burlap, for table runners, for $12. But, if you have a 50% coupon like I did it's even better!! ;) I picked out some green ribbon that went along with the other spring colors I have going on in the dining room, got my glue gun, and got started!

First, I measured the right length of burlap for our table. Then began to hot glue the ribbon along the outer edge of the burlap.

For the corners, I wrapped the end piece over the side piece and hot glued it together. This ribbon has wire in it so it made a really nice crease.

It didn't take me long at all before I was completely done. I really love what this runner adds to our table. I'm SO happy with it!!

Thanks Chase the Star for the great idea!! While I still had the glue gun out and the burlap I decide to decorate a couple more jars that I put in our bedroom. Hee Hee!! They turned out cute too!

Every time I buy/use a glass container, and I have used all of it's contents, I hate to throw it away or just throw it in the recycle bin. I think to myself...  there is something cute I can make with this so I am going to save it. ;)  So...on the bottom of my pantry floor in the back I have spaghetti, pickle, olive, marinades, the list goes on and on JARS!!!

Last week I was at a department store and they were selling a glass jar with a flower in it for $10 a piece. They were so cute and I grabbed three of them, trying to ignore the individual price, when it came to me! What am I doing with these when I have a gazillion of them at home and could buy my own flowers and make my own!?!?

So, I ran to Michael's because they are having 50% off their flowers and bought three different types. Came home grabbed three jars, stuck a little bit of moss in the bottom, put the flowers in, and I now have a cute new spring decor display in our dining room. I love it!!

I added burlap and a flower to this alfredo jar.

This jar was a bacon bits jar that I covered in Jute. I just love it!!

I'd love to see what others have done with left over jars so I can make something else for our house. :)  Have a good day!
