Burlap & Doily Luminary Tutorial

Jan
2011

I absolutely love it when I find a great craft tutorial while I’m blog hopping, and I found a great one yesterday that I just had to share with you! It’s a Burlap & Doily Luminary: Rustic Meets Romance.

This tutorial was created by Amanda on her Crafts by Amanda blog. She not only has this wonderful tutorial there on the blog with photos, she also has a printable version ready for download!

It’s a great recycling tutorial, since you can really use any glass jars you like for this project. And you can use doilies you have on hand, or ones you might find at a thrift store or garage sale, or even at a discount store. And I love how she creates the rustic and romantic effect by using burlap and twine and other goodies with the doilies. She has several great photos with different variations of her luminaries on her blog, so be sure to see them all.

To view the tutorial and all the photos, or to download her printable version of the tutorial, follow the link below to Amanda’s blog.
