    How do you prevent the top and bottom edges of your pocket from fraying? Would love to make these for my daughters wedding.

      Hi Lwaddy! These would be beautiful wedding DIYs. I love this idea. To help prevent against the natural fraying from burlap, we recommend applying a thin layer of your favorite craft adhesive to your edges to stop any edge fraying.
