FAQs About Burlap Flowers
If you have questions about how to make burlap flowers, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below!
Can I Change The Size Of The Embroidery Hoop?
Yes, you can! However, if you make this project bigger, you will need more burlap fabric for your petals.
How Many Burlap Squares Did You Use For The Petals?
For my 8-inch embroidery hoop, I used 23 squares that were 10 inches.
Can I Use A Different Type Of Glue For This Project?
Hot glue is ideal for crafting projects like this one because it’s affordable, dries quickly, and has a strong hold. However, you could use frabic or super glue if you don’t have a hot glue gun.
When using other types of glue, just be aware that the setting time may be longer, and you’ll need to hold items in place until the glue sets.
