Who loves Burlap?........I DO!
Yet I almost missed out on knowing that I loved it so much. I always saw Pintrest post, blogs, and friends posting their burlap creations. I dont know what it was I just didnt really have any interest in using the stuff or messing with it. My almost 10 year old daughter just got a bunk bed renovation (you can find that blog post here:
As we were walking the Halls of Hobby Lobby we saw some really cute stuff that she said she would love to have in her room. The Bunk bed didnt really match the style of the room anymore because of the color combos that was in there before and as children do, she is growing into a new style.
So I let her pick out a few items that she liked and we took pictures of them, so I could remember them later for gift ideas, etc...
After awhile I was just looking at them and thought, hm how easy would that be to make myself? I went to my local Walmart and found the supplies and brought it home. I admit that I stayed up way to late. I think it was around 2 am when I finally went to bed? But I cut out the roll of burlap to make a banner and started painting away with the colors that matched her bunch bed.
Polka Dots
Flowers (this is free hand)
And in the spirit of my daughter
who loves all things animal print I even tried to copy
a zebra print fabric I had.
I even took it into her room and hung it up while she was sleeping.
Notice the Eiffel Tower? She loves the idea of a French theme
I then took some more Burlap and painted the words "Paris" on it and and painted on a bow- Lucky for the both of us I had a white frame that I didnt know what to put in it. So in the frame went the burlap Paris pic.
But it didnt look finished......what to do? Paint it!
So I started Zebra painting the frame and ended up with
This:
To keep the pink, white, black and Zebra theme going I turned that Zebra fabric I had into a Photo board.
(Although its not quiet finished as I ran out of little bows and the store that carries
them doesnt have them back in stock yet.)
So her room is on its way to be fully decorated!
~Happy Crafting~
