DIY Project: Burlap Wrapped Jars & Doin’ It Yourself Link Party #19

February 22, 2012 · by · 13 Comments

I sure hope you like burlap, because for the second week in a row I’ve done a DIY burlap project! That’s just how it goes sometimes, I suppose. But you don’t mind, do you?! I’m sure you like burlap – after all, what’s not to love about it!? {That is a rhetorical question, BTW!}

This particular project is so easy it almost seems silly to post it! But I worked on it, it’s a DIY and it’s currently sitting up on our faux mantle. So post about it I will!

I quite like the texture (of course!) and the painted numbers speak to my love of typography and numbers.

What you’ll need:

  • glass vases or jars
  • small amount of burlap (depending on your vases)
  • numbers stencils
  • paint
  • stencil brush
  • hot glue gun

Step 1. Cut out burlap to size for your particular jars.

Step 2. Position your stencils on each piece of burlap.

Step 3. Using a stencil brush, dab paint onto burlap through stencil. Let dry (this doesn’t take very long).

Step 4. Wrap burlap around vase/jar and secure with a bead of hot glue. (Not Shown)

Now it’s your turn!!!

Only three (sorry had to add another one) rules:

  1. Your project must be created by you in some way. BIG OR SMALL! Have fun!
  2. Link back to us, either by text link or button that’s found on our sidebar.
  3. Please do not link the same project more than once! As in do not link the same project as last week.

PLEASE LET YOUR FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT THE PARTY…WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE EVEN MORE PEOPLE LINK UP TO SHARE!!!

    Simple and cute enough that even the craft challenged like myself can probably get good results. So glad you posted it!
