burlap memo board tutorial

 first i got a piece of wood

 then i cut a piece of hessian and put strips of masking tape down the middle and then painted it white.

 then i chose the wording i wanted, i decided i wanted to write i love my house, in french. so i used a stencil and painted it using a sponge paint brush and black paint.

 my house is really old so i put a date too. next i cut some wadding and placed it over the wood

 then i put the hessian over the top.

 then i folded the edges behind and used a glue gun to stick it in place.

 then i got black string and used pins to succure it.

 then i put pins where the black string crosses over.

and its done.
