Burlap Canvas Project

Over the weekend, I visited several antique and thrift stores.  Even if I don't buy anything, I always end up leaving inspired and full of DIY project ideas.    These burlap-covered canvases are a result of my trip to Farmhouse  Salvage.  

With all the fun printed burlap that's available now, this is a super easy project.

Just stretch the burlap over a canvas and hot-glue it to the back.  Done!

I used an 18 x 24 canvas, so these make a big statement - you could of course use a smaller size, too. 

Mine are big because I have a ledge on my staircase that I've struggled to find a way to decorate.  I can't put breakables there - found that out the hard way.  2 boys + glassware on a stairway = broken stuff.  

So, I made 2 of the canvases and paired them with some other items I already had.


I'm really happy with how it looks now.  So much better than the blank wall I'd be looking at for years.
