I made this flag last year. I simply
- Cut the burlap to the size I wanted
- Frayed the edges of three sides.
- On the top, I turned it down and made a casing for the pole to go through.
- I used acrylic paint and free-handed a simple pumpkin on.
- I used narrow ribbon to create the monogram and attached it using hot glue.
It was a super easy project and held up in the weather really well! The only thing that needed replacing was the bow. Here’s a video about how I made my bows:
Here’s the finished edge of the bow:
Will you make something crafty for your fall decor? Sometimes all you need is a fresh bow…try it!
Stay refreshed,

I made a cross stitch for fall and one for Thanksgiving but I am always doing little crafty things around the house. It gives me such joy. A lady at our church taught us to make bows at a ladies meeting and now I even make them for gift packages!!

You just freehanded that pumpkin. Shut up. I’m laughing just thinking about what mine would look like. LOL. Loved the video! I was amazed that you could hold the pieces of the bow in your right hand! I’d have to use my left. You’re so good. 🙂

I’m pretty sure you could do a pumpkin, Whitney! About the left-handedness, I’m really so right-handed with everything except eating and writing. Crazy.

Very nice! I have tried making bows in the past but they never have come out as well as I’d have liked them to. This should be a big help! Love the idea of your burlap garden flag, too!
And … Happy Birthday! I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Well, I commented from my phone, but it must not have sent it.
I LOVE your flag! SO cute!
I’m excited about getting out all of my wood block pumpkins that I made for the Pinterest party last year! I didn’t really get to display them last year.
