Makes 1 wall hanging
What You Will Need
- 1 piece Burlap I used a 36 x 36-inch piece
- 1 strips Wood strips 36 inches long each
- Wood stain I love these wood finishing cloths
- Twine
- 1 Scissors
- Black paint Outdoor paint preferred
- 1 Sharpie marker
- 1 Farm printable Click here to download ours
- Paintbrush
- Staple gun and staples
- Sewing machine and thread
- Outdoor Command Hooks
Instructions
- Start by printing the words that you want on your handmade wall hanging.
- Cut a piece of burlap to size and sew with a zig-zag stitch all the way around the outer edge. This will prevent any fraying both when you hang and as you work on your project.
- Lay the piece of burlap over your poster-sized print. I had to do this on the floor because it was so large. You will be able to see the words through the burlap as shown below.
- Use a sharpie marker to trace around all of the letters.
- Then, you just have to fill in those lines with black outdoor paint.
- While your wall hanging dries, stain your wood strips with the wood finishing cloths. Just rub on the stain, allow it to set a few seconds, and rub it off. Allow those to dry as well.
- I then used a staple gun to attach the burlap to the back of the strips. I also used a staple to secure the twine to both ends of the top strip for hanging. Just tie a knot around the staple on either side.
- Once you have added the burlap to the wood strips on both the top and bottom, you are ready to add this burlap wall hanging to your outdoor decor.
Notes
- I printed in poster mode so that it printed out on a bunch of sheets of paper that could be taped together into one large poster.
- Be sure to protect your work surface as the paint will bleed through the burlap.
- I recommend good quality outdoor paint so your handmade wall hanging will last as long as possible.
- Outdoor Command hooks are what I recommend for this job. I have found they work great in my space!
