I’m sure if you don’t have this particular twine or any burlap you’ve got some yarn, thread or ribbon around. I’m using Joy’s Life Halloween Puns stamps to make the witchy signs. Pretty cool! Don’t have burlap? Don’t worry…just travel to the photo below. That’s what I did for the broom on the left in the picture at the top of this post. Do you have any?
