Look what a different look you get if you use a colored burlap compared to natural.  You still get a little bit of that rustic feel, but not quite as natural.  You can find black burlap at a great price on Amazon.

I love Katie’s bunny bag for Easter.  This is much more fun than an Easter basket for gathering eggs at an Easter Egg hunt!  I am already pondering all of the images I could paint on a burlap bag and what I could use them for.  How about books on my bag for carrying to the library?  Carrots on a grocery bag?  The possibilities are endless.
