Here is what I did:
I used a different placemat to measure and cut my burlap and a lining layer.
I used brown velvet ribbon that I got at Hobby Lobby (half off, of course), folded it in half and ironed it down.
Then I just slid the burlap and liner layer in between the folded ribbon, pinned it down and sewed each side.
And I ironed the finished placemat one last time.
And these made a great back drop for my little Dollar Tree birds in bowls!
So what do you think? This would be an easy beginner project for anyone who wants to try their hand at sewing!
I am linking my placemats here:

Those are really pretty and I love the brown velvet ribbon edge. Great tutorial photos. I like your place setting also.
How precious! I will be doing this! This color scheme will be perfect in our dining room. I just hope the Dollar Tree here has those birds!
Love your spring table setting! The place mats are great and all the little accents are adorable. Thank you for sharing, visiting from Savvy Southern Style.

Very pretty! Adds just the right amount of texture to your table!
I love this idea - was in Dollar Tree yesterday and did not see the birds at all - what section did you get them from?
What is in the middle of your table? A tray, a cabinet door painted? And it looks like you have moss down the center of the tray. Give some tips about how you put that together. I have a very large table and I am thinking about putting a similar arrangement together and love the look you got.
Lynn-
I got the birds last year at Dollar Tree. They were just right inside the door where all the tacky little glass/ceramic pieces are. Hopefully you can find something similar. I saw a post today where a blogger showed a little bit different bird that she got from a dollar store, but she didn't specify which one. I spray painted my birds with Heirloom White, so when you look, keep in mind that spray paint can make them what you want. The tray in the middle is actually a mirror! I just took off the hanging hardware and put felt pads on the back so it wouldn't scratch the table. I bought sheet moss at Joann's and just cut it to fit. It was in the section where the little bird nests were...sort of expensive, so take a coupon. Have fun with it, and I would love to see your table when you finish it! :o}
