It’s Week 4 in the Dog Days of Winter Are Over Series and it’s all about Valentine’s Day! For my LOVE-IT project, I chose to make DIY Burlap Utensil Holders inspired by I {Heart} Nap Time’s Thanksgiving Utensil Holder. I love Jamielyn’s so much that I decided to make my own Valentine’s Day Edition.
These are so easy to put together and are a simple way to add a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your table.
Supplies Needed:
1/4 Yard Red Burlap
Snow White Americana Paint/Paint Brush
Hot Glue Gun
Red/White Baker’s Twine
Scissors
Cut your burlap to fit your utensils. I cut mine on the fold so I only had to hot glue the sides together. And just to caution you, I would cut it a little larger than you would like because burlap tends to slide while you cut it and you might need to trim it a few times to get it straight. Or am I the only one that this happens to?! :)
I used Snow White Americana Acrylic Paint for my heart, but you would use any white textile paint.
Using a fine tip brush, I free handed a heart and then filled it in. But you could always use a stencil if you are more comfortable with that.
Lastly, I added some red and white baker’s twine for a little embellishment.
Cute, easy, and very cost effective. My kind of project!
So make sure to stop by tomorrow and link up YOUR Valentine’s Day projects for all to see! And just a reminder, if you link up here your project will be featured on 8 other blogs!

Taryn–great for any holiday!!!
do you know that if you pull one thread out of the burlap, it will then sort of give you a line to cut on?
catching you!
