How to Make Burlap Placemats Last Longer
The last couple of months I’ve been wanting the hottest trend in Home Decor which is Burlap! Burlap is both natural and rustic. No matter what your specific decor is in your home, it can be enhanced in some way with burlap! To me, burlap leaves the home feeling cozy and content.
I wanted to protect these treasures with something that will make them last longer! I didn’t want the orange juice and coffee soaking into these beauties, which would be after the first meal would it not? I decided to spray my burlap runners first to preserve them.
I chose Krylon Acrylic Clear Spray and sprayed them on all sides about three times. It did leave them a bit stiffer but still flexible and I have not doubt that they will last me a long time!
