No Sew DIY Burlap Floral Table Runner

Good Morning !
I am so excited to share this project I did for Jo-Ann Fabrics and Craft Stores ! Jo-Ann Makes spring crafting easy during National Craft Month with a $5.00 off $25.00 purchase coupon , and a spring crafting inspiration website !! Florals are a big trend this spring , and I hope you like my version of the floral trend !

The supplies I used for my no sew burlap table runner are :
Hot glue gun,
2 yards white burlap, 2 yards fusible stabilizer, one side is fusible , one side non fusible. 3 different sizes of black and white check ribbon, 2 rolls of each.. 2 packages of covered buttons. black and white check fabric( how much you need will depend on the size you want your ruffles. A stamp for the flowers , or a foam piece and a scrap of wood to make your own. Craft paint in aqua, and fabric paint in black and white. All the supplies are available at Jo-Ann Fabrics !

The edges of the burlap are frayed , so I decided to go with that . I cut the burlap in half down the fold , so I have 2 - 2 yard pieces. So you could actually make another runner for a different season. I followed the instructions on the iron on stabilizer. It made the runner pretty stiff.. Great stuff ! Then I frayed the other side , I had to cut a little off .. The stabilizer holds the frayed edge so it won't fray anymore. When you iron it , line the stabilizer up so its not over the top of the frayed edge.

I couldn't find a big enough flower stamp so I bought this foam flower shape in those dollar bins at Jo-Ann. I used a cookie cutter and pushed it into the foam to make a pattern . Cut it out and hot glued it to the wood block.

I randomly stamped the flowers onto the burlap. I left pretty big spaces since I wanted to add the ribbon flowers.

I used fabric puffy paint in black to outline all the flowers.

These are the three sizes of ribbon I used , I cut the ribbon into 4 and 6 inch lengths. folded in half and glued, then stacked 6-8 of them to make flowers .They were all hot glued on. I also stamped some more flowers on the extra burlap cut around them and used them for the center. Covered buttons were also added to the centers of some of them .

For all the stamped flowers I cut circles from the black and white check fabric and glued them down.

For the ruffle I tore 4 pieces 5 inches each by the width of the fabric. I used heavy thread and gathered 2 pieces for each ruffle, by hand. you could also use a sewing machine, I was trying for the whole no sew approach !

I hot glued the ruffle onto the ends of the runner.

Since our dining room furniture is black , I love the black and white check with that fabulous white burlap !

The dining room is all set for spring now ! I hope you get crafty and make a table runner use that coupon :)!! I love, love,love this white burlap from Jo-Ann Fabrics !
