Printed burlap monogram

By: Melanie

This is a project I guest posted a couple weeks ago over at Dream Crafter.  It’s so fun and easy I had to share it here too!

Printed Burlap + DIY Beadboard Frame

Here’s what you’ll need:
Burlap 
Freezer Paper
Iron
Frame
Bead board Wallpaper
Paint
First, cut a piece freezer paper to 8 1/2  by 11 so it will run through the printer.   Then, iron the freezer paper to the burlap, with the waxy side against  the burlap.

 Next place the freezer paper sheet in your printer and print whatever design you choose! (If you look closely at the pictures you’ll see I didn’t follow my own instruction and ended up taping my freezer paper to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet – that works too.)

Isn’t that cool?!
Now you can place your custom burlap in or on a frame of your choice!

I wanted a bead board frame, but couldn’t find one I liked with a price I liked 

so I’ll show you how I made this one!
 I just grabbed a $3.99 (Hobby Lobby) wood frame in my stash and used white wood glue to cover it with bead board wallpaper.  (You can get bead board wallpaper in a roll at Lowe’s…it’s just waiting for me to put it on a wall)
I let the bead board cover the picture opening and all.  Then I painted it black.
 Last, I used gloss finish Mod Podge to give it a good finished look and also to attach the burlap.
Let it dry and that’s it!  Custom burlap art!  I’m like 100% likely to be printing on burlap again and again 🙂

 (If you’re thinking – “didn’t she use burlap in like 20 other projects already?”  Uh-the answer is yes!  I may have a slight obsession with burlap : )

    This looks great! I did a similar monogram on burlap, but I used my Silhouette to make a Stencil and then colored in with a Sharpie marker. I wish I could try the freezer paper technique on something but we just have a laser printer right now.

    I’m visiting from the Someday Crafts link party.
