Thread: Tight weaved burlap

Tweet

I'm looking for tight weaved burlap to make some scarecrow masks for this years "haunted cornfield" theme. I bought some burlap sacks off of ebay, but when I cut them and tried to sew the pieces together, the sacks were so loosly woven, they want to fall apart. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Go to Home Depot or Lowes in the garden section.....It comes in rolls......ZR

Most big fabric stores like Jo-Anne's fabrics have all kinds and colors of burlap.

I'm doing the same thing and got mine at Hobby Lobby cheap enough. They also had 3 or 4 colors to chose from.

OH and forgot what will help with the unravel is to pre-seam them somehow. Tight or lose burlap will come apart, so what I do is put a little latex at where I'm going to cut to lock the weave in place.

Dang it tan masking tape works real well too if your using tan burlap (last post I promise LOL).

Thanks guys, Does anyone know where I could get a good pattern for a burlap mask?
