Burlap Union Jack Pillows

Union Jacks have been popular for awhile.
They are on all kinds of things.. quilts, ottomans, pillows- you name it.
They have pretty much popped up everywhere.


Well I finally worked on a little Union Jack creation of my own.

A couple pillows made with a little burlap and jute webbing.

 I have been thinking about making some just for fun for awhile now...

There is something so charming about the simple design of them.

I know these technically aren't exactly like a Union Jack- but I am liking them.

I love working with burlap.
 I love the texture, love the charm, love the color.
( okay, not loving the itchy eyes or the allergies so much ;) ) 

I also love striped webbing- in all colors. Yes, kind of crazy I know.
It just reminds me of something vintage and charming.

   I knew when I saw this red striped upholstery webbing it was perfect for something...

I just didn't know what something yet.

(You can find both the webbing and burlap at Burlapfabric.com)

But as I stared at that webbing and that burlap...I thought of it.
Burlap. Webbing = Union Jacks.

 I am loving how they turned out. 

So simple. So charming.
Perfect to add a little rustic to the mix.

So cute on the sofa but before I get too many emails about them not belonging in my French Country Cottage
;)  these pillows are off to somewhere new ~ I'll share more about that soon.

A super quick post today~
  hope your week is going great!!
