Valentine’s Day Verse on Burlap – An Easy DIY Craft for the Non-Crafter!

Valentine's Day Verse on Burlap

I love making small crafts with the boys, but I definitely stick with crafts for kids and easy crafts.  I went out on a limb and made this cute Valentine's Day verse on burlap and while it could be jazzed up a lot, it was pretty simple and even the non-crafter could tackle this one!

The Bible verse is from Song of Solomon 3:4.  It's definitely the book of love, if you have not read it!  I wanted to capture it in a crafty way, and I chose burlap.  Here's how I did it!

Material Needed:

• wooden frame of any kind (I used an old wooden box that toys came in and took off the back!)
• stapler
• a piece of burlap that is about twice the size of your frame
• letter stencils
• fabric paint
• paintbrush
• heart stencil
• ruler

Directions:

1. Place the wooden frame on top of your burlap piece. 
2. Cut your burlap so it will wrap around the edges of the frame to the back.  You don't want it to be too big or too small.
3. Staple the burlap to the back of your wooden frame.
4. Place your letter stencil on the burlap.  Use a ruler or straight edge to make your letters straight.
5. Dip your paintbrush in the paint and carefully paint inside the letter stencil.  It might be easier to "dab" the paint onto the burlap.
6. This is important….make sure that you wipe or rinse the stencil between letters because you will get paint on it and it will smear and make a mess out of your burlap!
7. Continue on with each letter until you are finished with the verse.
8. Use a heart stencil or freehand hearts onto the burlap for extra decoration.
9. Let dry and hang on the wall or gift to your love this Valentine's Day!
