Burlap Number Bucket Tutorial


When I was at the Dallas Gift Market this last week I

saw a bunch of burlap numbered things ~


I LOVE them !


Since I have burlap around and

buckets around I thought it would be fun

to recreate that look ~

Here is a quick tutorial on how to do them ~

It is super duper easy!


1. Cut a piece of burlap a size that would fit

your bucket ~ I cut it then fray it a bit ~





2. Paint an area on the front of your burlap

that is larger than your number stencil ~

It doesn't matter what brand paint you use ~

This is some I had ~




3. Lay down your stencil and paint it in whatever

color you would like ~ I used black ~





4. After it dries then I used Modge Podge

on the back of the burlap ~





5. Place it on your bucket and

smooth out the bubbled areas ~



That is all and it is super quick !



If you don't want to make your

own I have them on my website, here ~

I went to the Dallas Gift show years ago when "country" was in it's "hey-day" and it was a wonderful place to visit......I had a Country Gift Shop at the time and we had relatives there. It was a fun and wonderful day and I ordered many things and they sold very well.
