Burlap décor ideas for a rustic Christmas

December is here! That magical month that brings Christmas and in which we all become a little bit “better” people ;). A month when we decorate our homes to make them feel warmer and more welcoming, filled with lights and ornaments that make us dream of those days when the whole family comes together again.

This is when we start to see, in magazines, on websites and in shop windows, countless beautiful Christmas scenes of homes decorated for the occasion. Decorations that take us back to a corner of our childhood, when Christmas was at its peak and made us dream of a magic that only a child’s eyes could truly perceive.

A large part of that magical decoration is, surprisingly, easy to make. At Deyute we want to show you some ideas for these ornaments—ideas that use burlap fabric to achieve that warm, rustic look that every Christmas should have. A material that is also especially affordable.

Christmas jute bags

Available in different colors, they are perfect for giving gifts or sweets at Christmas and can be easily decorated with cords, twigs, bells, ribbons, etc. They can also be used to decorate the base of the tree, the fireplace, or even as a centerpiece for the Christmas sweets table.
Whether in bags, sacks or little pouches, we are sure your guests will be delighted.

Jute ornaments for decorating the Christmas tree

Tired of decorating the tree with the usual Christmas ornaments? We have the solution! From burlap ribbons to Christmas baubles covered with sackcloth, there are countless decorative elements that can be made from this material: birds, angels, little trees, stars, pinecones, acorns… anything you can imagine fits perfectly on a rustic-style tree. And with jute, it’s also more eco-friendly.

Burlap wreaths

The most Christmassy way to welcome family and friends. Hanging a jute wreath on your front door makes it clear that Christmas is in the air throughout your home. From simple wreaths in a single burlap tone to more elaborate ones combining different textures, colors and decorative elements. And if wreaths aren’t your thing, we also suggest the classic burlap star version. Of course, any geometric shape can be adapted to these ideas. To each their own ;).

Decorative jars and candles wrapped in sackcloth

Nothing feels more Christmassy than decorating your home with candles, vases and jars filled with lights. Just take a walk outside and notice how, at this time of year, shop windows are filled with this type of lighting—those tiny lights that transport us to a warm home, where it’s cold outside, snow is falling, and night comes early. A space that becomes our peaceful refuge, cozy and shared with family. Don’t hesitate—fill your home with warm corners where you can disconnect from the rest of the world.

Burlap bunting

Another great idea for decorating the fireplace—of course, only if it’s not lit—the wall behind the Christmas tree, or even the tree itself. From classic bunting with a Christmas message to more elaborate designs using jute threads, ropes and even straps. Hang a jute bunting near the gifts as a way to welcome Santa Claus or the Three Wise Men. Find that perfect spot to place a message that welcomes Christmas as it deserves.

Christmas table decorations

Here we can include everything from burlap cutlery holders to table runners and centerpieces—the only limit is imagination. Whether in natural burlap or colored fabric, our tables will shine with that rustic, Christmassy touch that only jute can provide. Complement it with natural elements such as twigs, pinecones or nuts to make it even more welcoming.

Christmas gifts wrapped in burlap

And finally, nothing better than presenting our gifts wrapped in beautiful jute fabric to give them a more handcrafted look—as if we wanted to show our guests that our gifts were made with our own hands. A perfect finishing touch to gift-giving that will leave everyone wanting more. Too bad we have to wait another year for that.

In addition to these ideas, there are many more—for example, letters with Christmas messages wrapped in burlap, sackcloth stockings for gifts, bows, cushions, rugs, ribbons, even decorations for the Nativity scene—all with that special touch that only jute can provide.

We are sure that thanks to this material, Christmas will feel very different. A festive season with a rustic touch that the whole family will love. Turn your home into a special place to share with your loved ones during such meaningful dates.
