The tutorial I am sharing today may not be as perfect or beautiful, but you will certainly get the gist.  The best part is this requires, NO glue, no staples and only one cut of burlap.

Burlap Bow Materials:

What you’ll need to make a burlap bow: burlap ribbon and twine:

Burlap Bow Materials:

I typically find my burlap ribbon at either Walmart, Michaels or hobby lobby.  Walmart is closest in proximity to me so I usually wind up over there for some quick supplies. I also found this huge roll of twine at Walmart for less than $5.00.  I use twine often in my crafting ventures.
