Burlap and Lace Hurricanes



After making thirty six thrifted hurricanes for my wedding centerpieces, I have vowed to use them as much as possible throughout the house as well.  So, with that being said, I have tried to incorporate them into all my holiday decorating. 
I don't know about you, but I am completely obsessed with the burlap and lace I have been seeing lately. If I was still in the midst of wedding planning, I would have burlap and lace everything! But since I'm not planning a wedding, I decided that it would be the perfect combination for my fall decor.  

I used some burlap I had on hand, purchased some lace, and used hot glue to hold everything together. 
Here is what the hurricanes looked like before (at the wedding):

And here is what they look like now:




This was so easy to do, only taking about 5 minutes per hurricane, and I think it looks great with all my other fall decor. AND the best part?... it's also neutral enough to use any time of year!

Is anyone else as burlap&lace obsessed as me?
