Use scissors to cut along the traced lines. You’ll be left with a large round piece of burlap. Repeat the steps as many times as you’d like to create enough burlap placemats for your luncheon party.

To assemble the final DIY Leafy Burlap Place Setting, first lay the burlap placemat down, then top it with a Tropical Leaf in the center.
