Burlap Sign

Today my plan was to accomplish many things around my house that need attention.  Half way through I sat down to check my email, got distracted and started creating.  I'm glad I did because this project makes me happy!  This is what I'm going to give all my kids primary teachers for Christmas....

**I used THIS tutorial to print on the burlap***

I'm going to put some cute rosettes on it too but this particular one will be used for the Festival ofNativities. Thanks to Melanie over at Sugardoodle for helping me make my document into a pdf file.  Learn something new everyday!

  1. So I can't help you with your image-posting problem - but I just realized that we are in the same town! I've been reading your blog for a while now (and I LOVE it!), so what a surprise when I followed the Festival of Nativities link and saw where you are. I'm in the Van North Stake - I'm volunteering at the Festival...I'll look for your sign! Love it by the way!

  11. me again:) once you get the print on the burlap, what did you mount it on? I'm not so great on the create part, but I copy well:) if you don't mind, that is;)

  12. I don't mind at all! I found if you put a small piece of white cardstock behind the burlap it makes the words stand out more. I then mounted it on brown cardstock and a wood board. I'm sure you could stop at the cardstock if you want :)
