Chevron Stripe Burlap Texas Frame
12:31 PMOk, so remember 2 months ago? When I said I was working on a frame wall in the kitchen? and left is looking like THIS for way, way, way too long?
Case in point, putting something in the empty frames...
Because I am burlap obsessed, and my mother-in-law was kind enough to gift me with three different kinds of burlap for Christmas, I chose a white burlap for this frame since I knew it would probably be the easiest to paint...
After I cut it to size, I decided I wanted to paint on a chevron stripe... this was the first template I found online...
I tried cutting it so the stripes would be a bit larger, but it wasnt turning out the way I wanted, so I printed out a different, thicker template...

Enter Google...
...and more wine... ... ...yay!....
When I searched "Silhouette" an outline of California popped up... and I immediately knew it would be a great opportunity to promote the great state of Texas...
After finding an outline of our cute little state, I cut it out, traced it...
I sprayed the back of it with a little Elmer's Spray glue (just to give it a little bit of hold since I knew the frame/glass would really keep it in place) and Voila!

| A traced burlap "y." I made on my Burlap frenzy night as remembered HERE |

| And this "lemon" I did on the same night that I made my Texas frame... as Im sure you can tell, I was a few glasses of wine in by the time I made this... oh well, it looks better from far away anyway... |
Here's a wider angel that also shows off part of our awesome lil laundry room (remember that makeover by clicking HERE)
One more view close up, just for kicks....
So what do you guys think? Like the assortment? Do you think it "works" in a kitchen? Are you also a believer that crafting and a glass of wine sometimes produce the best work?
I would love to hear what you think!

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Chevron paired with the unlikely burlap... it's like pretzels and caramel, a perfect mix of two seemingly contrasting tastes.
