Here is another craft I did with burlap, although I think it's only the second I've actually posted--better work on that! Anyways...remember a few months ago Husband and I took a mini-vacay to San Diego? While we were walking on the beach one morning I took a photo of the beach and I love, love, LOVE the way it turned out!
I eventually printed a 5x7 copy and put it in one of those handy dandy white frames from IKEA that are like $5. And it looked like this...
Which looked ok...but I wasn't crazy about it. So I pulled out my burlap, took the matte out of the frame. I sprayed adhesive on the front of the matte then placed it face down on the piece of fabric.
(By the way: This was the first project I used the spray adhesive for, before we became unfriendly) I cut off the extra fabric around the outer edges, then cut an 'X' in the center opening of the matte.
I then folded over the excess fabric and glued it to the back followed by cutting off any more extra fabric. It now looks like this:
I love burlap! And this is such an easy tutorial....the pic looks marvelous! Great job.
