Until a couple of weeks ago I had no idea there was such an easy way to cut burlap. Whenever I would cut burlap in the past, it would always end up so uneven like the picture below. Thanks to the Clumsy Crafter I learned how to cut burlap in a straight line.
Decide where you want to cut your burlap and grab one string. Gently pull the string all the way out.
After you pull the string all the way out there will be a space where you can cut a perfect straight line!
There you go! No more jagged edges. How did I not know about this trick sooner?
