Lavinia-

Most burlap is make from jute, and it does make paper.  I'd be inclined 
to use burlap from a fabric store, as the gunny sack kind has quite a 
bit of oil in it.  Maybe wash it first, and then try it?

Are burlap sacks made from hemp? If so, an agriculture supply store might
have some. Agway maybe?
