My church has a great program for the young women. I love making projects that help the YW remember what they stand for...
They help me remember what I stand for also:) My daughter's name is Bailey. I typed up all the info using Word Art and then printed it out on burlap. I used this tutorial for printing on burlap. Once you do it you are hooked. It's just kinda amazing. People think it's vinyl but it's not!
You will also need a piece of wood. Mine is a 2x6 and a finial. I found my finial at Lowes. After you print your burlap it will look like this....
It's easier to cut and ink if you leave the freezer paper on back.
After you have completed those steps mod podge your letter onto the wood and let dry. I spray painted my wood a cream color and inked the edges before I put the burlap on.
Love these! I am going to check out the tutorial of printing on burlap. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I wish I was in YW so I could do it!
ReplyDeletethis is cute would be great for a child's room
ReplyDeleteMy mom teaches the Laurels in her ward, I'm showing her these and then I'll most likely have to help her make them :) So cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I'm going to try it. I agree, what a great way to remind yourself and others how beautiful and perfect you are in God's eye. By the way, I love your burlap wreath! I'm going to make one it is just so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteYou said you used word art? How do I use that or where can I get it?
ReplyDeleteIt's in Microsoft Word. Under the "Insert" tab click "picture" and you will find Word Art there.
ReplyDeleteyou are so clever!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Wish I still had a daughter in YW's. My son isn't as thrilled with crafty decor! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm Word Art handicap... I found it but can't do it like you. :(
ReplyDeletelol! Email me Hannah. I will help ya out!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I can't wait to try this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love these!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove-love it!! Burlap is my fave! Thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the rosette/floral on the top left corner? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have a fairly new laser printer with a brand new $70 toner cartridge. I've tried twice to print on burlap but can't seem to get the same dark color that you show. Do you use a ink jet printer?
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous! And I would have never known that wasn't vinyl on the burlap. I love it! I featured it on my blog www.auntielolocrafts.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I absolutely love this idea! I want to make them for my young women, but I am not to sure how to create it in Word Art. Is there anyway you could email me directions please!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie

When you say you inked the edges, did you just put ink on the edges? Sorry I am a bit slow!!
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble with the Word Art too. Could you email me some directions too. Also, how to make the cute flower on the top? Thanks so much!

Can you send me the detail email about how to do the word art as well? Did you do it from the Microsoft Word? We are wanting to this for camp...camp is 3 weeks away so I am in a time crunch.

I would also love the detail of the fonts used and your Word art. I can get something that looks a great deal like yours but it would take a lot less time if you have it done all ready! Camp is in 3 weeks and this is one project of yours we are going to use. Thanks so much for all the great ideas!

I would love the detail on the word art as well. I can do this in Word or Publisher but would love to know the fonts you used so I can find them and download them if needed.
ReplyDeleteWe are using this, along with your glazed lantern, for camp next month. Thanks so much for the great ideas!

What font did you use for Bailey's name on the side? It looks familiar and I know I have it, but it would save me from looking through 4000 fonts if I could just get the name from you! :) Thanks! tashaesch@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteI just saw this and think it is adorable. I would like to make these for my YW to give to them on their birthday. I could get into WordArt and can get the letter, but how do you type the values and the name? Please help. I'm interested in trying this.
ReplyDeleteI went to your "shop" and didn't see these online--are they still available ? What is the cost ? Yes, I am a little "scared" to use my printer--mine is an epson nx300 - do I dare try it ?????

This is adorable. I have so many friends who love burlap and I would like to make them one; they are also my church sisters lol. I have the letter "B" with the name, but I just can't figure out how to get the other words like faith, good works ect. on the "B" like you have. Could you lend a helping hand. My email address is: nicole_marie029@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
Hi, we love this and want to do it for our yw for YWIE. I can't find a font for the main letter. Could you tell me what font you used for your B. I would really appreciate it. I can do the rest. Thanks. Marla at kmttjudy@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love this and would like to make for our YW. I found word art but can't seem to make it work for me. Could you email me the details on how you did this as well. I would greatly appreciate it.

I clicked on your link to see how much you are selling these for but it said the URL was broken. Are you still selling them and for how much? I think I could make them, but I have waited slightly too long along with all of the other end of the year stuff that goes on!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

How can you tell if your printer will print on burlap?? Mine is an hp photosmart 6515 printer... I just don't want to try it and have it screw up the printer. Kind of expensive! I would also like a bit more detail on how you did this?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
