Framed Burlap and Paper Flower Spring Sign

A few weeks back I shared a fun Pottery Barn knockoff using some picture frame mats.  I've finally gotten around to using the actual frames.  This is a really easy project and I love what it does for my mantel as we head into spring.


The frame was originally gold.  It was okay, but I liked how the chippy paint frame of my DIY chalkboard came out so much, I decided I would do the same thing here.


I painted two coats of DIY white chalkpaint on the frame - letting it dry between coats.  Once the second coat was dry I sanded it down in spots so the gold could peek through.


I used PicMonkey to design the spring quote.  I saved it as a JPEG and then opened it up in Powerpoint.  I'm pretty sure you can just print it without opening in PP, but I like to make sure the sizing is right.

Then I printed it out on burlap.  (Click here for my tutorial on printing on burlap).


I slipped the glass back into place, then the  printed burlap piece and the backing.  I finished her up by adding a 3D paper flower that cut on my Silhouette.


If you don't have a Silhouette, you could cut one out by hand. Just trace an image of a flower and cut it out in a several different sizes and attach it with a brad.

I added a dab of hot glue to attach the flower and the flower added just the pop of spring color I was looking for.

  2. handmade leather wallets proves useless if it cannot neatly store your valuables. Look for the available pockets, compartments, ID windows, and other facilities for holding the items. Over and above the cash notes and bills, you may also need to store credit cards or other bank cards.

  4. Formal Attire is a catch-all term that encompasses cocktail and black-tie-optional dress codes. While Formal was once used to express white or black-tie events, that’s no longer the case in most modern weddings. Instead, it means a level of dress that’s elegant but not over-the-top.
