Have your ever thought to WEAR burlap? Yup I said WEAR it! I have and do! Here's a simple and chic way to incorporate it into your wardrobe:

Burlap Rosette Bracelet

4 or 5 - 12" x 1.5" strips of burlap

beige/tan/peach felt

hot glue

beads - optional

hook and eye

needle and thread

Roll each strip into a rosette. Start by folding 1 end in half.

Roll and glue as you go to keep the burlap from unraveling. Twist one way, then another giving each rosette a different shape. Trim any excess pieces or burlap you don't want on your finished rosette.

Glue the end under when finished. Repeat the same process to make all your rosettes.

Sometimes it's easier to "SHOW" you than explain through pictures. Here's a short video I made showing the right and wrong way to roll your rosettes:

Measure the width of your wrist and cut a piece of felt the length needed with a little extra and about an 1 inch wide

Attach a hook & eye with a needle and thread to the middle of the felt - 1 piece on each end.

Arrange the rosettes on the felt and glue as many as needed according to your measurement. Glue in between the rosettes as well to keep the rosettes from "separating" when the bracelet is around your wrist.
