Everyone is right. Burlap is beastly to work with, creates a lot of dust/lint, and smells. A friend who blogs is making burlap/lace/mason jar decorations for a wedding. I don't know how to link you up, but the blog name is "michelle paige." They look cute...I guess because burlap/lace/pearls/bling seem so opposite. Enjoy the project and show the results.
