“Burlap Beer Cozy”

Burlap and Bud Light. I don’t know, just seems like they were made for eachother.

Tijs
“Burlap iPod Cover”

This one represents another convergence of two geek passions and makes me feel tingly all over.

FW Sunshine
“Burlap Bandit”

I like how this one harkens back to the great train and bank robberies of the old west. Thus further exploiting our inexplicable cowboy theme.

Nick
“Burlap Lap Cover” - View at your own risk, may be offensive

So we spent way too much time here at Valleyschwag going back and forth about whether or not to post this one. In the spirit of free(ish) speech (and full disclosure. ahem) we decided to go ahead and post it, but with plenty of blurring and warnings. That being said, I take absolutely no responsibility for anything to do with this photo other than, that for your sakes, I cropped and pixelated it. If you choose to click through and view the full photo, your are hereby designated a sicko and pervert.

Rick
“GeoBag” — Burlap sewn together to create a cammo bag for geocaching

Well done, Rick, well done.
Valleyschwag does not publicly condone nor support the use nor concealing of ammunition

Gary
“Burlap Barbeque Bib”

Hey, I know! Let’s go have burgers at Gary’s house. I hear he makes them with a secret ingredient — stray burlap fibers. Yum!

Homard
As you’re about to see, Homard is chock full of burlap re-use ideas…

“Skirt”

Burlap skirts… the latest in Parisian Haute Couture. Nice touch with the Rubyred Labs tee! Too bad we’re not the judges…

“Dog Cape”

I’m pretty sure this might qualify as animal cruelty. Seriously, it’s BURLAP. Yeah, the pretty blond up above is probably not particularly comfortable either. But she has FREE WILL.

“Wallpaper” (Yes, we’re still on Homard’s creations)

I don’t know… it looks less like wallpaper and more like a piece of burlap on a wall. But this is idea number three, so we’ll cut you some slack, Homard.

Oren
“Couch Cushion”

Okay, since I am currently in the market for fabulous throw pillows for my new sofa and don’t own a sewing machine, I love the DIY aspect of this. However, I’m not so sure my cheek would agree. Napping on a down-filled, satin covered pillow vs. napping on burlap. Hmmmmm…. tough choice. Still, we love that we have such a prominent place in Oren’s household. And it even matches the other pillow. Nice.

Heather
“Horse”

This one just brings tears of joy to my eyes. We’re hoping Heather will make one for us. Pretty please, Heather?? We’ll even send you an extra piece of burlap with the stenciled logo and everything.

Wayne
“Thinking Cap”

Again, nice way to integrate the Rubyred Labs shirt. And look, you got a hat out of it too. And you thought all you got was a lousy t-shirt, two buttons, seven stickers and a set of PerplexCity cards. Silly!

Emily
“Schwag On My Couch”

Hey, it’s like the doily on the back of grandma’s couch. Only it’s burlap.

Carlos
“Itchiest Dog Blanket Ever”

Dude, your dog looks pissed. Can’t say that I blame him.

“Schwag for Valleyschwag”

So, after realizing that his first attempt at schwag re-use was lame, Carlos pulled out all the stops. He returned our burlap chock full of some schwag of his own with a healthy sprinkling of love. Carlos, you already know how we feel.

Michi
“Dog Apparel”

Okay, people, what is up with the cruel & unusual punishment to your canines? Sure this one is adorable. Really, really adorable. But maybe that has something do to with the “Do you really hate me this much?” look the poor pooch is giving it’s human.

Chris
“Cast Cover”

This one’s great because Chris’s leg has already gotta be itching like nobody’s business. What’s a little burlap on top of a sweaty plaster cast? Happy healing, Chris!

Glen
“Action Figure Bed Cover” - Scully and Mulder in the sack

Um…well…huh.
