And with all the burlap going around Blogland I thought it would make a great table runner and best of all I knew I would NOT have to SEW it!
I had to buy 2 and half yards to fit my table length perfectly which cost me less than 7$ and I have half of it left over!
My table is black so while getting the material at HL I found these cute iron ons that match!
I just cut straight up the middle and started pulling the strings out the sides and bottom to give it a fringed edge, WARNING! This is messy!
And another reason I chose the burlap...it matched my rug and wall color! (insert tiny handclap)Yay me!
Now onto the window treatments...which I am pretty sure won't be Burlap but you never know. I've seen some really cute ones out there!
And just FYI I found these cuties to hang on my wall behind the table at TJ's!

I absolutely love it! Especially the monogram! Great job!!
Score! I love TJ Maxx! Cute table runner. I LOVE me some burlap!
I'm loving it!!! Iron on's and burlap? Who knew that could be SO elegant together! =0) Burlap is all the rave these days. I'm going to be doing a burlap project soon...I hope. A cheap one..love those!! Your dining room looks very comfortable and pretty.
I am SO MUCH giving this the two thumbs up! I love the look of it, especially with the "H" added. The fact that it's a no sew project, well... that just puts it over the top. It looks really good!
I love using burlap and did so for my Christmas tablescapes as well as my daughter's wedding table last October. Your dining room is so attactive in the color scheme your doing- keep it up it looks fantastic!
Where did you get your table? I LOVE IT!
Great job on the burlap.. very cute.
That is just adorable!
Really great project! I have the burlap and now I just have to get busy! Thanks for the inspiration. Your runner turned out great!
The black iron ons make it perfect! Love it! Suggestion for your curtains...drop cloths. They come in a natural tone & there is a huge amount of fabric in them for cheap! Just fyi, if you decide to go with the drop cloth idea, look for ones that don't have seams in the middle, if you can find them.
Very cool runner ~ Love the monogram and the fact that It didn't require sewing! Thanks for sharing, Monica
I love the burlap runner. I just purchased some burlap for a project. I was surprised at how many colors or shades it comes in.
Your burlap runner looks amazing! And with that monogram on it, it looks very expensive. I was looking at two at an etsy shop today and they cost $60 and $70 and they were similar to yours! You did well, girl. Hugs, Cindy S
I made some really cute and EASY burlap curtains once. I'll send you a pic if you want!
yes please do Jennifer!
Natalie, I got my table at the Pottery Barn Outlet in Ohio! It was a fraction of the one in the catalouge. Find an outlet my table is still in the catalouge and I purchased mine over 6 years ago. I drove 6 hours to get it but so worth it!
And thanks for the drop cloth idea Kim!
And to everyone else thanks sooo much for the comments! They sure do make a girl feel good!
I am loving burlap these days myself! The monogram was a really nice added touch!
I think that I may be the only person on earth that has not made something from burlap... I better get a move on!
You runner is beautiful!
This looks great .. the detail of the iron on made it beautiful! Bella

I love this! Looks like I need to make another trip to Joannes to get some Burlap... Great job! :)
So cute - I love your monogram!
That monogram makes all the difference! Great plates too!
Love this!! Now ideas for burlap bags??
I bought 30 for $2 at a yard sale recently. I plan to make some pillows, but not 30 of them...LOL
I would have bought more stacks of them, but a lady sideswiped me to get to the rest of the stacks...I'm still in mourning. Thanks for any suggestions.
Loving this idea and I have the burlap AND a black table! I am sooo doing this. Thanks!!!
Oh how clever you are and how terrific it looks in your room.
I love this! And the iron ons are fabulous...it looks so good in your dining room. I just might have to try this....
Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see those plates up on the wall!!!
That looks great!!!
I love that runner!!
10 minutes?! Wow! That's gorgeous!
That looks awesome!
Sorry, but we never did get our pictures back on our blog. I hope you have everything figured out!
Jody from Mommy Moment!
It looks great! I love the monogram you added, so elegant.
Adorable!! Found you through the girl creative today...so glad I did! -shaunna :)
O.k., now maybe just maybe, I could do this project without 5 start-overs and 5 trips back to Jo-Anne's for forgotten supplies.
You know, if the stars are lined up just right and I click my ruby red Isotoners three times.
This is such a great example of simple greatness.
It looks so gorgeous with the frayed edges and the monogram! Great job!
Thanks for linking!
Awesome. Make me one!!! I am kidding. I so can't sew! :(
I love this! So simple, and elegant at the same time!
How cute! I love the monogram, it's the perfect touch!! :)
Blessings,

Your burlap runner is beautiful. I love the fringed edges and your beautiful monogram. What a statement against the black table. Simplicity at it's best. The dishes were a great find and truly compliment your decor!

I was just wondering where you purchased the monogram at...I love it. I am getting Married in August and that would be perfect at the head table.
I purchased the monogram at Hobby Lobby, CONGRATS!!!
The runner looks great! I love the black and tan scheme you have in your dining area. . . it looks very cozy.
So glad I stumbled across your blog! :]
Love the table runner! I'd love to see more pictures of your kitchen and dining room. The glimpses I've seen are so nice! I'm your newest follower!
First off - AWESOME!!! And thank you for giving me the "finishing touch" on my idea for my upcoming wedding. Second, I see you got the Monogram at Hobby Lobby - is it an iron on or would that ruin the burlap? detail on attaching monogram! THANK YOOOU!

This was so easy and looks great. I have a table in the middle of my kitchen that is smallish and I couldn't find anything the right size for it. With my Hobby Lobby coupon the grand total of mine was $3 and I had enough leftover to make an extra to put away for when the kids destroy the first one. Thanks for the great idea.
