Burlap and Doily Banner

February 23, 2016 by Holly Gagnon 60 Comments

I have a love for burlap.  I would probably wear a burlap shirt if it wasn’t itching and weird.   Add in some pretty white doilies and my heart pretty much skips a beat like it’s done for the last week  since I hung up this Burlap and Doily Banner in my craft room.

How to make a Burlap and Doily Banner. So easy!

Burlap and Doily Banner

{this post contains affliate links referencing products used}

A  few weeks ago, I shared my Vintage Inspired Craft Room Tour.  I spent a lot of time, {not kidding,  a lot of time!}  working very hard to get it ready for a Craft Room Tour.    After I shared my room,  I was looking through pictures and decided my room needed a few more things.  Like a rug,  a little more rearranging, a super cute Banner and definitely a new light.  Phew, now that’s a tall order!

 

Updated Ribbons and Glue Blog Vintage Inspired Craft Room . How to make Burlap an Doily Banner!

The rug was easy to find thanks to Ross, the Burlap Banner was simple to make but I still needed to find a craft light that wasn’t bulky on the table and provided great light.  Then, I discovered my dream craft lamp from  OttLite.   It’s called a LED Cobra Desk Lamp With USB and yes, it looks like a Cobra too.  My son now wants this lamp in his room since it actually  looks like a Cobra.   Ha- that ain’t happening!

How to make a Burlap and Doily Banner. So easy!

 

So one Saturday morning, I decided it was time to make a Burlap and Doily Banner. I  pulled out all the supplies I needed.  Pretty Pebbles Inc Spring Fling paper, burlap and my trusty We R Memory Keeper Banner Punch Board.

How to Make a Burlap Banner. Brush Mod Podge on to edges of Burlap to prevent fraying. Perfect Solution!

 

The problem with cuttng burlap is that is frays and makes a big mess.  A tip with cutting burlap is to brush the area you are going to cut with Mod Podge first.  For this banner, I made a 10 x 4 paper template, pinned it on to the burlap then brushed Mod Podge around the edges.   Let the Mod Podge sit for a few minutes but not long enough to totally dry then cut the burlap where you applied the Mod Podge.  The Mod Podge seals the ends and prevents fraying.

When the Mod Podge is totally dry, take your burlap strips, fold them in half, then fold over again,  pin if needed and cut the ends at an angle to make a perfect, symmetrical banner.  Awesome, huh?!

 

How to make a Burlap and Doily Banner using We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board. So easy!

 

After my burlap banner bases were cut, I used a We R Memory Keepers Punch Board to trim out patterned paper to mat on the  burlap then hot glued a pretty white doily over  top.

 

Assemble Banner

 

 

I then string the Burlap and Doily Banners on to jute twine using hot glue.   I think I forgot to mention this Ottlite Cobra Lamp has a USB plug in it!  Not only does it provide 3 settings of light, one of them being a bloggers BFF,  natural light but you can also charge a device at the same time! Listen to music, charge my phone and get natural light!  Win-Win!

Craft Room Ottlite

Love my new changes to my Vintage Inspired Craft Room.  My OttLite lamp was just what I needed on  my table too.  It’s the prefect size,  not to big and bulky, easy to move around and let’s off the best range of light. Did I mention natural light?

Tutorial on to make a Burlap and Doily Banner. So pretty and easy!

 

Since I am a gal who likes to check off her To Do List of things accomplished let’s see if I got it all done.  New rug- Check.  New Burlap and Doily Banner- Check.  New Craft Light- Check, Check!  Winning!

    I use my ott light for everything in the studio. Sewing and stamping and painting and scrapping… Etc.

    The problem is my light is about ten years old and falling apart a little more every day!

    Holly, I’m loving your vintage-inspired craft room and your burlap and doily banner makes it so cozy! If I won, I’d use my Ottlite to help me with hand-stitching, like embroidery, sewing on buttons and snaps or even browsing my favorite crafting books! I need one of these!
