Burlap looks great with greenery, offering so much organic texture. Here is a super easy burlap container DIY, creating a unique and custom vessel for flowers and plants.
I had a remnant of this burlap fabric with a bee honeycomb design, which was perfect for this project.
It made a great addition to the original {burlap container gardening DIY} items. You can see all the other instructions for the original containers in this post.

Tips to DIY a Burlap Container
Save plain glass florist vases when someone sends you flowers. The container I used was from a gift given to us a few years ago so it did not cost anything. Thrift stores are also a great resource for florist vases or use a discount coupon at a craft store.
This project is a great way to utilize fabric remnants, which does not require a very large piece of material. It’s always a good idea to save remnants for projects just like this.
The jute rope gives the container a finished look. I found my rope at the Dollar Tree and I only used a very small piece of the roll. Tuck the end into the inside of the container for a professional finished look.
Enjoy your new burlap container with pretty fresh blooms. You can use it as a vase or as a drop in cache pot for potted plants or flowers.
I used this burlap honeycomb container in the recent {bee theme tablescape}.
There are other bee honeycomb projects scheduled to share really soon.
