Precise burlap cuts with laser guided machines


   Burlap gives a nice rustic look to weddings and occasions and is used for a lot of decoration options. Most of the times, we want burlap of the correct size cut as per our requirements and don’t really want the burlap to have fuzzy edges or threads coming out of it. Burlap cloth cut to lengths as required by us is available on a lot of online sites, which give us flexible options for decorating venues.

   Many of the online sites which offer custom burlap cuts, provide us with burlap cut on laser guided precision machines which are designed to provide you with the perfect fabric lengths and to ensure that the sides are even and the fabric is ready to use directly once unpacked.

   The required length of the burlap cloth can be specified on the site online and the fabric is cut to the exact length overnight and the exact cut lengths are ready for dispatch by the next day morning. Once you receive the lengths you simply have to use them as they are readily or stitch them up to the desired purpose, which they have been bought for. I have recently decorated my niece’s wedding venue and I had ordered some burlap lengths to be used as table runners. Once I received the lengths all I had to do was to simply place them on the table, straighten them out, and they looked simply great. No fuzzy edges and size cut to perfection.

   Burlap cut fabric is offered to you like turnkey projects today. The fabric produced is great, it is cut to the precise lengths, as you require with the latest laser cutting equipment and delivered to your doorstep in a jiffy. What else could you ask for?

Burlap bags now available at "Nusso"


         Burlap bags also called as jute or Hessian bags are in much demand as an ecofriendly solution for shopping or for carrying and storing bulk. Burlap bags are also very environment friendly because they are either made from burlap fabric or can be made out of recycled jute. They have a very appealing appearance and have a rather distinct look when carried.

       A lot of companies and business houses are turning to burlap bags for their storage requirements, be it for harvest storage, for goods or simply to use them for transporting material from one place to another. Burlap bags are also biodegradable which make them the preferred choice over a lot of other options like polypropylene and plastic. The durability of burlap bags is also quite good because the fabric from which the bags are made which is essentially jute is very sturdy and lightweight.

         I also do remember a lot of field events like sack races and other fun games, which we played using these burlap bags in school. A lot of online sites are now selling burlap bags in sizes which one wants them for. There are many other uses for burlap bags other than the normal containment uses, which one would use them for.

       So if you want a stylish, durable, lightweight solution for your containment, storage or any other imaginative use, which you can think of, then a burlap bag might just be the thing, which you have been looking for.  7oz 18" x28" burlap bags are now available at Nussopillows.com.You can get your burlap bags online and delivered right at your doorstep in a jiffy.

Responding to customer queries regarding Burlap and Rustic Weddings


We are posting a transcript of a client email for burlap fabric for her wedding. The identity of the client has not been disclosed for privacy reasons.


Hi, 
I would like to make my wedding special this summer with a rustic look. The rustic look is a rage these days and I am looking forward to it. I would like you to help me with the right kind of burlap fabric to be used for the décor…. The runners, the chair ties and all of that…hope you get me. Wanted your opinion on the right burlap for my décor…please get back to me.

Customer care response

You have called up the right place for you burlap requirements. So lets get to your queries

You are quite right with the chair ties and the need to choose the right burlap, as it can get quite uncomfortable and itchy if you use the wrong burlap fabric. We generally recommend the 4 or 6-inch burlap strips for the same as they look pretty elegant and remain popular amongst a lot of our clients who choose the same.

As far as burlap runners is concerned, the width of the runner cloth depends on the width of the table and it generally varies between 12-27 inches. You will have to order as per your table specifications.

We also do sell burlap for gardening purposes and most customers use the 7or 10 inch burlap for the same. Those who use burlap for construction purposes, use the 10 inch variety.

I hope I have answered your queries and you are satisfied with our response. You can also look up our customer feedback for the response which our customers have for given for the burlap fabric and the use which they have put burlap fabric to.

Thank you.

Burlap Fabric of Many Uses


Burlap and jute  arethe fabric of the moment. A fabric, which has been used from decades for various practical purposes, is practically the fabric of today’s times. Yes we are talking about a very versatile fabric…BURLAP.

Burlap is a coarse and loosely woven fabric and is used world wide by artists and craftsmen alike. It is often the preferred fabric in various art studios and craft schools who teach novices and for use by seasoned artists as well.

Burlap is easy to sew , fold, and cut and if you would term it in one word… INNOVATE with. With practically a multitude of options to play around, burlap can be used in the form of burlap favor bags, burlap ribbons, burlap runners and can be used to manufacture almost everything that may come to your mind. The burlap fabric which is available with us is 10oz/sqyd natural fabric and is the preferred choice for many interior and event decorators.

You can use burlap fabric to make the magic of a rustic wedding come true by using burlap table runners, burlap ribbons, or even spell out your innovative wedding invites on burlap wedding invitations. As the bride walks on a burlap aisle runner, let the rustic setting fill her mind with nostalgia and memories, which she would cherish as reminiscences of an important milestone in her life.

Burlap can also be used for interior decoration in the form of burlap curtains, burlap tablecloth or can be used to adorn your bed in the form of burlap bed skirts. I also remember my grandmother’s use of burlap fabric for Christmas decorations and my first gift from Santa came in a burlap Christmas stocking.  

When it comes to burlap, it is not really completely about the fabric; it is also a lot about the emotions and the nostalgia, which comes inherently fabricated with it.

Customers sent in these pictures lately, please keep on sending them in. They are inspiring.

It will calculate the precise costs as well as the number of boxes it will take to ship your order to you. Roughly speaking, 25-30 pounds of merchandise will fit into a box.

Burlap aisle runners


The Burlap aisle runner was made of the 40 inch wide burlap. Just received this picture looks like summer though. Well better late than never. I guess.they had a long honeymoon.


Burlap aisle runners

Ninety percent of  our rustic wedding customers buy the burlap for table cloths and runners. Very rarely have i heard of them buying it for aisle runner, so I asked them to send me pictures. And here it is. It seems that they just laid the fabric on the ground no underlay or anchoring. looks like it worked just fine. I think they folded it over to give it a semi neat look.

If the ground is hard and not wet, I guess it makes sense. See in the center the fold. Perhaps they ran out of  jute, and then just laid the the new roll over the old roll. and it looks continuous.  I will ask to see what other innovative items they made with the burlap and share with our customers. Please send us photos we appreciate it and will honor your privacy request as in this picture included here.We offer a 5% discount to wedding blogs who give us honorable mention in their posts. Please contact us and  we will adjust the price accordingly.

Being a cost-effective material, nobody should have any qualms about putting the burlap straight onto the ground, even if it will get wet and potentially ruined. Also, the natural look and feel of the burlap seems to mesh quite intuitively with the grass and outdoors. Unlike a fancy red carpet which will seem out of place at an outdoor wedding (not too mention be much more expensive and probably completely ruined afterwards), the burlap will fit in with the theme of the wedding and fit in with the budget too.

Rustic wedding with our burlap photos from the reception

These pictures of a recent rustic wedding and a pictures of the original fabric on the shop floor are being shared with you our readers to show how simple it is to create a rustic environment. at a celebratory function.
First see the original rolls , this customer took elven rolls of about 40 meters each.

I always assumed that the customer would go out and cut and sew the individual table cloths. Look closely at the pictures and you will see that all she did was lay out the 40" fabric, overlaying it in the center and leaving the  natural selvage edges on the side.
As the tables were 48 inches wide our 60 inch burlap would not have worked, should you have a 40 inch or less table you can use our 60 inch wide fabric with no edges at all showing in the middle and keep the outside edges natural.

The center of the table is covered by serving pieces so the edges  that lie on the table are not that obvious.

This event took place in Toronto should you need the contact information I will be glad to share with the reader

Burlap Smell - How to Get Rid of Natural Burlap Smell

Burlap for rustic weddings was originally intended to be used, outdoors in barns in farm settings or in open air tents. Currently rustic weddings are celebrated indoors and in formal catering halls, as a result some event planners, florists celebrants and florists are concerned
about the older which of course is a natural burlap order
 
Burlap, being a natural, organic material sometimes has a smell or slight odor to it. Since is is stored in plastic for shipping and packaging, this smell can be stronger on the initial opening of the package. We get called about this issue maybe once a year or so with customers who are concerned that the smell may be toxic. Rest assured, the fabric is completely natural (i.e. nothing you wouldn't smell on a farm).

If you do a quick Goggle search on the web, you will encounter numerous suggestions on how to remove the natural burlap smell. You will find some sites suggest that you use Febreeze or other de-oderant type product. I am not a big fan of this solution as I don't think that's really a good way to get rid of the smell (where does the smell go??). Other solutions will suggest that you put it in the washing machine. I would be hesitant to wash the material as it can shed a little and may make a mess.

My suggestion is very simple: air out the burlap for a few days outside. This should get rid of most of the smell. If you are using it for a wedding, wipe it down with a damp cloth (no soaps necessary) in case the smell is not completely gone. As a last resort, a little bit of Febreeze won't hurt, but that should only be used in case you are very sensitive to the smell. The natural odor or burlap should not stop you from enjoying its benefit in a rustic wedding environment.

60" Wide Burlap

We recently started carrying the 60" wide burlap and have been pleasantly surprised at the success it has had in the early stages. After carrying only the 40" wide burlap for the last 30 years, the 60" wide burlap is now outperforming the 40" by a wide margin. It appears we have unlocked sales that we weren't previously getting which is a great thing these days.

I am a little curious as to why the 60" is more popular than the 40" and will have to ask a few customers who walk in and pick it up (about half the customers pick the stuff up instead of shipping it out). It's always good to dialogue with customers and hear what they have to say. Perhaps we should start carrying the 72" wide burlap as well?
