First, we need to knot the twine. I made a looped knot in my twine for the end so I have the option of hooking it to something if I want. Make sure the knot is large enough to cover the holes of your burlap. It can easily slip right through if the knot is small enough.  Thread your yarn needle.  You want your length of twine to be a bit more than the desired length of your garland.  My garland was about 6 foot in length, so I cut my twine around 7 feet.

For my DIY Burlap Garland, I wanted to create a dense, gathered look, so I folded my burlap in half before feeding the twine through the burlap.

Next, you feed your needle through the burlap in a zig zag pattern, basically folding the fabric on top of itself.  I piled a bunch of burlap folds on my needle and then pulled through. You want to gather your burlap as you go for uniformity. Simply pull the twine and scrunching down the ribbon.

Repeat the process until you reach your desired length. To finish off your burlap garland, copy the same knot you started with on the opposite end.

Easy Peasy!! I think the entire process took me less than 10 minutes.

*Tip* Don’t wear your black knit yoga pants like I did while doing this. Burlap shedding covered my legs!
