Autumn is finally here in the Midwest. After our record breaking heat this Summer, the cool crisp mornings are a nice break. I was looking forward to decorating for Autumn and decided to go with a natural look for my Fall porch. I have used burlap and natural colors for my pumpkins with the only really pop of color in the Amber Mums. I made the burlap pillows last year and wanted to add a table cloth this year.
Using a 30” square of burlap, I frayed the edges and then stitched along the fray to keep it from fraying any more. I then used my Cricut machine and cut a swirl and taped it onto the corner of my square of burlap. Using a paint brush, I dabbed the opening with off white acrylic paint.
This simple design turned out so good and took no time at all.
Although, I have not completed my Fall porch this is a great start.
