Step 1)  Place a strip of hot glue one inch from one of the ends of the burlap strip.

Step 2)  Fold over the edge of the burlap onto the hot glue and hold down until it dries (maybe 5 seconds).  I used clothespins for this so I wouldn’t burn my fingers.

Step 3)  Move to the opposite end of the burlap strip (the end that isn’t glued).  Find a thread that is located approximately 1/3 to one side and start pulling.
