I enjoyed this class, it got me thinking of other ideas with burlap. Making one that would fit around a clay pot, perfect for adding something natural for potted plants. I looked for used burlap bags online, then decided I could design and paint my own to look like used coffee bean bags. Can't wait to give these as xmas gifts. Thanks for the class and inspiration.
