Do you use those blue recycling bins in the house? The ones that are really useful, but ugly?
Well, I have a lot of them and use them too religiously to hide them away in a cabinet or out of sight. So, for my first “Mecca of Burlap” project, I prettied them up a bit.
HOT GLUE + TRASH BIN + BURLAP =
Word of caution-burlap has a really open weave and when you are pushing it down onto hot glue, it comes through and burns your fingers! I have four more of these bins to do as soon as my fingers cool off.
No one said that you can’t recycle and be stylish at the same time!

Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
hey! I like this well done!
What a great project! I love this!!
I love it!! I really like the print on the burlap. I am into using burlap right now.....I found several yards at a thrift store for pennies....I look forward to seeing more of your burlap projects.
Ow! Hot glue = pain! But the end result sure is wonderful!
Now if that isn't the most clever idea I've seen in a long time I don't know what is. I love it Gwen.
How did you ad your google adsense to the comments section? That's a good idea of placement too.
This is just fantastic. Love your coffee sacks.
What a great job! Thanks for that tip on burning your fingers...I always seem to find a way to fry myself with that glue gun~
Looks lovely and your hot glue warning will no doubt save many shrieks around the world as folk emulate you!
Oh Gwen, This is just too cute. Love seeing what you are doing with these sacks! Let me know when I can send you some bucks, okay? hugs, Sue
Awesome! And you got it so straight too! Mine would be all slanted! What's next?

This is genius! Love it.
I discovered your blog tonight, plan on coming back frequently!
All the best,

Great idea! Wish I had a huge stash of burlap to work with!!
Thats super cute. I often times make "finger covers" using masking tape when I use hot glue. I place several pieces at the ready so I can replace them fast when I really get going.
I would never have thought of putting the two together, but what a fantastic idea. The result looks great!
