Who would have thought something that usually holds potatoes could be totally chic?! I have wholly been sucked into the burlap obsession trend. I love how it adds texture and depth to whatever you use it for. I have a large roll of burlap which I used to decorate our food table at our house-warming party. Recently I had been thinking about making some burlap art. I had some leftover fabric paint and alphabet stencils so I went to work!
I had two white frames lying around and felt they would be perfect for a burlap art project.
I started with washed and ironed burlap. I figured the material was rustic enough but I should probably clean it up. I washed the burlap on gentle in cold water. Then I measured and cut an 8 x 10 section of the fabric.
I decided to stencil one of my favorite songs, “You are my sunshine”.
For the second frame I wanted to use the border. So I used the border as a measuring tool and then stenciled our initials inside the frame.
Here they are completed. I like how they turned out, very shabby chic! This project has only intensified my love of burlap!
