What's Hot? Burlap Ribbon

It is What's Hot Wednesday at the Kraft Journal and I am there (and here !) to show you a few things I have done lately with Burlap Ribbon.
Burlap is big right now.  In fact I am making swag curtains with it right after the holidays.  Have you tried burlap ribbon on your cards or for projects?
Thanksgiving Day was three weeks ago but I wanted to show you the napkin rings I made.  I really love how they turned out.

I used the Natural Burlap Ribbon from the Kraft Outlet to wrap around the napkin, making it a ring by using a large brad.  That way I could keep one of the ribbon ends loose.  The leaf is cut with a Cuttlebug die out of Buff Ivory Cardstock.  Holding the ribbon ring in place with my finger, I removed the brad then replaced it going through the leaf, the tag, and then the ribbon again.  Lastly I added a bow out of Wraphia, securing it around the brad.  Easy, elegant and yet casual.  My kind of decorating.
So that was 3 weeks ago.  How about an anytime card with Burlap Ribbon?

I thought it would be fun to pleat some of the burlap ribbon instead of using just a straight piece.  I just made loops and then sewed it onto the designer paper with my sewing machine.  The papers are from my stash.  The photograph buttons are chipboard.  The others are cut from Brown Kraft, Dictionary Pages and ruby cardstock.  Each of the buttons are sewn into place with the Natural Hemp Cord.
Both these projects featured the Natural Burlap Ribbon but the Kraft Outlet also carries Black Burlap Ribbon.
Thanks for looking.  Check out some of the other wonderful products that the Kraft Outlet carries.
