One afternoon, my Mother-In-Law and I were shopping for a friend's retirement gift when we discovered the cutest burlap signs painted as flags, owls, fish, and more. Some signs were just images, while others were sayings.
I had a few favorites and considered purchasing one until I saw the price - $45 and up. Wow! I just knew I could recreate one.
I went to the craft store and purchased 2 yards of burlap, a few acrylic paints, Modge Podge, and a handful of sponge brushes.
And then I began!
First, I cut the specific amount of burlap for the intended project. My first attempt would be to make a Texas flag, after all, this is Texas Homemaking.
Then, I folded the burlap in half and placed a scrunched up piece of newspaper inside the burlap.
Work a nice line of Modge Podge around the bottom layer of burlap. This will be the "glue" to fuse the bottom and top layers together.
To make the flag, I then used a level to square off my sections and printed out a paper star for a pattern.
Add paint to your sections.
Once dry, take a piece of wire and poke it through the sign; bend in the middle.
Viola! Sign complete!
I made this cute little owl too! I'm planning on making a larger one for my youngest's room. |
The winner of the Texas Flag door hanger is Molly S. of Longview, Texas!!! Congrats, Molly!
