POINTSETTIAS AND BURLAP


Silk Poinsettias, Burlap Base

This was an easy project for these silk poinsettias. They were originally outfitted with different colored foil, glued to the base of the pots (one gold, one silver and one red). This was festive, but not the look I was going for. Here is what I did: (1) Simply take a large circle of burlap. (2) Hem the edges on a sewing machine. (3) String ribbon through the burlap so you can gather it around the base of the pot and tie it off.

Burlap is an inexpensive fabric and provides for a rustic feel.  You could always consider other types of fabric to bring a different look.  Another inexpensive option could be brown craft paper or other types of wrapping paper.  (Would likely want to choose a more heavy duty wrapping paper to avoid durability issues and tearing.)
