Where to buy burlap

Ya’ll knew that, right? From table runners to pillow covers to buntings – if I can put it on something, then there’s a safe bet that I’ll try it. There’s just something that touches my farmhouse house lovin’ soul.

(burlap wreath by Amanda Formaro)

But even though I have a deep, unabiding love affair with it – not all burlap is created equal. Whaaaattt??? You didn’t know that? Yeah… each vendor has a little different shade, a different texture, and even some of them have a distinct smell.

I get quite a few questions about where to buy the best burlap – and so I’m finally going to reveal my source: BurlapFabric.com. There’s tons of places to buy burlap, so I’m going to break down why I love this particular source.

The length: I order 60 inch rolls, much longer than most places stock.
The quality: It’s a smooth, even grain (well, relatively speaking – it is burlap!) The fibers are not wonky and pulled like often found.
The color: Burlap can range from a dark cocoa powder toned color to an orangey shade – and that’s just in natural burlap. Personally, I like the caramel toned best, and that’s exactly the color I get from BurlapFabric.com
The price: They have some of the absolute lowest prices I’ve ever found on burlap. You can order a 50 yard roll of 60 inch wide burlap for $99.95. Ummm… yes, please!!! That’s $2 a yard – cheaper than fabric stores even with a coupon!
The customer service: Great service, fast shipping – need I say more?

I love them so much, in fact, they BurlapFabric.com is now a sponsor of The Shabby Creek Cottage – now that’s a match made in heaven 🙂

IMG_7263 And speaking of burlap…. I’m sharing a new project over at Graphics Fairy DIY today showing another cute idea to make a bunting… join me over there?

    Wow I wish I lived in the States! In the UK I have tried every single burlap supplier and the best quality I can get is over £6 a metre – that’s around $9-10! I get a bit of discount as I buy so much but $2 a yard – fantastic!!

    Thanks for the source! I remember when burlap was a 1.27 a yard at Walmart, and it wasn’t that long ago! Popularity drove the prices up I guess!

    I know, right? I think it’s almost $3 a yard there now… supply & demand at it’s finest 🙂

    I love burlap too. Have used burlap tablecloths for years. BUT, it has become so popular, some of the shops stay sold out. I was recently able to get a roll at Hobby Lobby for around $4 yard. Thanks for this source, Gina.

    Do you have any trouble with odor in the burlap from burlapfabric.com or do I need to order sanitized burlap? I am using it for my daughters wedding.
    Thanks Katie

      It has a slight “burlap” smell, but if you air it out for a couple of days it all goes away.

    I went to order some burlap from their site but the shipping was the same price as my total! Any way around that?

      If you keep an eye out, they frequently have sales & free shipping promotions – it’s worth the wait!

    I’ve been looking at burlapfabric.com for wedding burlap and like what I see, but their shipping charges seem high. Just wish they’d offer free shipping like so many internet sites do now.

    I am wanting to make schedule cards displays for about 100 teachers in the Dominican Republic during teacher training. The idea is to have the clock-times on velcro to one side and the subject on velcro to the other side. This would replace a typical pocket chart as it would cost too much money. What are your thoughts on cutting the burlap at about 10 inches across and close to a foot long? Would it be strong enough to hold a laminated card that would say Schedule in Spanish and then about 10 -12 laminated subject cards which are up to 8 inches across and about 2 inches tall? A cute ribbon on the top would be nice as well.
    Thoughts?

      Oh Connie, I am not sure, you really have to just give it a try and see. Practice is such a necessity in crafting but good luck to you, a great idea!

    I appreciate you giving away your little secret! 😉 I’m getting into making burlap wreaths and shopping for good deals. Would 7oz or 10oz burlap work better for making my wreaths? Thanks!

      It is really up to you, personal preference. Maybe try one of each and see which speaks to you 🙂 Have fun!
