DIY Burlap Utensil Holder-Valentine’s Day Edition

Sharing is caring!

  • Tweet

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.

Burlap Utensil Holder for Valentine's Day

These are so easy to put together and are a simple way to add a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your table.

DIY Burlap Utensil Holder Valentine's Day Edition

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!

    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?

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
