Have you ever “revamped” a “revamp”?? Have you ever had a project in your head that was so cute and then once it ends up in your house you wished you would have left it in your head?? This has been my problem for the last couple of months. I could not find the right piece of art for above my couch a few months back so… Ashley and I decided to get together and decoupage some canvases. They didn’t turn out bad… I actually get compliments on mine quite a bit. But, I hate it. I was done. A few weeks ago we started discussing some upcoming burlap projects we have planned. Ashley had a light bulb moment… She suggested we cover our shanty canvases with burlap and stencil them. Good thinking Lash! Here’s what I did…
I took my old 36×48 canvas (won’t even show you the befores 🙂 and laid it on top of a piece of ironed burlap. I used my staple gun to first pull down the top and bottom and then I pulled the sides. The burlap gives quite a bit so make sure you pull it tight. I cut my excess and moved on to the ties. I decided to hang mine from two hooks I found at Hobby Lobby just to add a little extra something. I cut 6 pieces of twin the same length and tied a bow with one piece on to two others… did that make sense at all? I used my staple gun to attach them to the back of the canvas.

Absolutely adorable! Such a great idea!
I love it you guys! Keep the inspiration coming, you're great. 🙂
So simple & classic – it would look great in almost any room… I think I've got a wall that this would look great on… thanks!
Very cute! What a great idea for inexpensive easy wall art that looks so pretty!
That is wonderful! Such a great idea!!!

Nice!! Where, oh where, did you get your $12 saw? And what kind is it? I think I must need one. Also, do you guys get the RL Smoke Glaze at Home Depot? I went in search of it yesterday with no luck…
Thanks!!

Oooooh, me likey. I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing 🙂
It's beautiful! I love the stencil you chose. That's something I'd want to have on my walls! Stopping by from Kimba's party. 🙂
Wow…love the stencil. I tried stenciling on burlap but I didn't have much luck with it. I'll need to give it another try.
Love your blog. You two are so creative.
It's splendid!!! Love it!
Love! You could get as fancy as you want with the stenciling or use burlap in another color. I saw a red burlap on clearance the other day. It would look great with a cream-colored stencil on it.
Thanks for the idea.
Wow, I just love the way it's hanging also!
Wow!! I love what you did here! I want to try this! Thanks for the great idea.
oh my gosh! wow!
Looks awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
