What to do with Scrap Burlap?

Well if you are a true "CRAFTER" then you absolutely don't throw anything away or at least scraps you know you will can make something out of - right?
I know we have all made banners out of fabric and other fabrics and may even have
tried making banners out of burlap - and that is what i made and had left over scraps from!
really small narrow strips of burlap...So because I was trying to keep with the
burlap -ish decor I made these:
VOTIVE CANDLE COZIES!
All they needed was one cut and one straight stitch with my machine up the back...
But wait - I regress and jumped way ahead...to give them the Halloween vibe
I used some speed ball ink and some foam stamps BY MAKING MEMORIES
old set I had - and it was a quick swipe and a stamp onto the burlap and
then the cut and stitch...easy

And yes the glow from the candles is totally noticeable...

Cute right? Quick right? Used scraps-cool Beans!!!
