BURLAP WEEK: Burlap & Fabric Flower Art

We continue our BURLAP WEEK here at

It's A Good Day with another fun and e.a.s.y

craft using burlap and fabric.

We started the week with these No-Sew Burlap Curtains:

Our second burlap craft is that fun little art piece

hung in between the curtains.

Here's what you need to make your very own:

• Burlap scraps
• Coordinating fabric scraps
• Coordinating scrapbook paper
• Ribbon for stem
• Coordinating Button
• Art canvas or other blank surface to mount on
• Hot glue, thread, needle

This isn't even worthy of being called a "tutorial" - it's that easy.

• I used different size plates to trace and cut out varying sized circles in the burlap and fabric scraps
• Layer the fabric circles on top of each other, largest to smallest
• Sew together with a button
• I added a few stitches at the back of the burlap to "pucker" it a bit to add interest
• Hot glue down your ribbon for the stem
• Cut out some leafs from your scrapbook paper and glue to the stem
• Glue down your flower
• I also glued down the edges of some of the other flower layers so they would not flap/fold down when you stand up the canvas
• DONE and done!

Sorry for weird lighting above!

I can imagine a lot of variations and embellishments to

this project. If you take a stab at it, please share photos

of your creations with me!
