Burlap Canvas / Hometalk & Michaels Pinterest Party

I don’t know about you, but I am dying for spring to arrive.

Today, I created my own little piece of spring with this super easy burlap canvas craft.

It was sooo easy to make and it only took me about 30 minutes (details on the craft later).

My little spring-inspired burlap canvas is a part of a super-fun event sponsored by Michaels and Hometalk.  

This Sunday, Feb. 16, I will be making my burlap canvas project at the Pinterest Party at the Michaels located in Keller, TX (2005 S. Main St.) from 1 – 4 p.m.  If you live nearby, I hope you’ll come and craft with me!  

If you’d like to come but don’t live nearby, no worries! 100 bloggers are participating in the nationwide Pinterest Party so you might find a party near you (there are even four Michaels stores in Canada that are taking part). Check this list to find your nearest participating Michaels location.

I hope you’ll meet us in the class room to make your own pin-worthy project.  Oh, and did I mention that you can win a $100 Michaels gift card?  Just follow Michaels on Hometalk for your chance to win!

If you’ve never heard of Hometalk, you need to check it out!  Hometalk is a home and garden social network for anyone who loves all things home.  It’s a fun place to hang out, get inspiration, ask questions and get them answered, etc.  You can follow me there, too!

 

So…back to the burlap canvas I created.  Here’s what I used from Michaels to make my project:

I love how it turned out!

And, it was simple and easy.

If you can trace a bird, use a stencil and handle a hot glue gun, you can do this!

Directions:

Step 1:

Use stencils, craft paint and a foam pouncer to paint on the words. I didn’t measure or anything…I just winged it as I went along.

Step 2: 

Find a shape — like a bird, bunny, flower, etc. and trace it with a pencil on to the canvas.  Using craft paint, paint inside the lines.

Step 3:

Make a bow with the burlap ribbon and hot glue it to the top of the canvas.

Step 4.  

Cut the heads off of some silk flowers and hot glue them in and around the bow.

You’re done!

Now, bring on Spring!!!

Hope to see you at Michaels!

Oh…and by the way, all of the participating bloggers and I will be posting our projects in a special link-up for you to see at the end of this week.  I can’t wait to share them with you.  I’m telling you, they are spectacular and you won’t want to miss them.

Thanks for reading!
