Canvas, Burlap & Jute Ribbons for Decorative Accents

What are Burlap, Jute, and Canvas fabrics?

Burlap fabric is usually made from the bark of the jute plant or sisal fibers, which can be combined with other plant fibers to make ropes, nets, and other similar products.

This type of material represents a rather dense fabric, which in the past was produced as quite coarse, but nowadays is used in a refined state and is also known as an eco-friendly material for the production of bags and various decorative elements.

In the past, many of the poor workers who worked on the plantations in the Caribbean and Jamaica did not receive nice materials to make clothes. Therefore, they began to recycle old burlap sacks, using them as clothing, which was quite uncomfortable, but, in return, protected them from dust and heat.

In addition to making decorative elements, burlap is also used for making sacks for transporting coffee and rooibos tea. It is a breathable material and does not allow condensation on the goods, also it is strong enough to withstand the rough transportation of the products.

Sandbags, which help build barriers to prevent flooding, are also made from burlap or jute fabrics.

Jute fabric, also made from jute fibers, is often considered more versatile and can be used for a wider range of products beyond sacks and bags. Jute fabric is also softer than burlap and is used in textiles and rugs where a smoother texture is desired.

Canvas, on the other hand, comes from French and means "made of hemp". It represents a thick and strong fabric. It is made from interwoven cotton fibers, sometimes linen or hemp fibers. In the past, it was used for making sails, tents, backpacks, and all similar things where great strength was required.

Canvas fabric is widely used as a material on which artists paint, as well as for high-resolution printing by printers. On the canvas itself, another layer allows the ink to stay longer on the surface, giving bright and saturated colors to the picture.

Nowadays, one of its applications, especially among artists, is as a base for oil painting.

Application and Purpose

Very similar to twine rope, burlap is also a quite practical and accessible material with which you can make original and thematic home decorations.

Here are a few ideas for DIY decorations with jute and burlap ribbons and twines:

• Wrap a glass jar with burlap and tie a ribbon, twine, or lace ribbon around the middle to secure it. You can also add more decoration as desired, such as various beads, rhinestones, feathers, tassels, flowers, or other decorative elements.

Then, you can place whatever you decide in the jar, depending on the purpose for which you will use it.

For example, for decoration, you can put various river or sea stones, sand, seashells, or coffee beans, on which you can then place a scented candle. This way, you will quickly have a beautiful and handmade gift, or a new candle holder for your terrace or home.

Another option is using it for storing various types of food or cosmetic accessories and makeup.

• Jute and burlap ribbons and trims can be used as embellishments for unconventionally sewn decorative pillowcases, which you can then further decorate with lace or artificial flowers to beautify them a bit more. These choices, of course, should strictly follow the style of your home.
• For binding your books, handmade photo albums, or scrapbook albums;
• For dressing different boxes;
• For making various toys or wreaths,
