Burlap Hearts and Book Case Decor

While out shopping last Saturday with my daughter, I saw some burlap hearts.     They were priced at $7.99.  I decided I could make my own.  I knew I had a good sized piece of burlap left from other projects.

I used a paper doily heart as the pattern, and cut out enough for two hearts.  I simply sewed them together, left an opening for padding to be inserted, and then sewed up the opening.  This is how they turned out.


Aren't they cute?  Cost.....Nothing!  I already had everything.


I used the hearts, a vintage silhouette picture, and a Dollar Tree wreath to decorate my sewing drawer for Valentine's!  I love it!!!



This shelf holds the other silhouette picture, valentine cards the hubby and I gave each other last year, 3 heart picks, and an angel.  


I made this wreath a year or so ago, and use it fr valentine's.  The heart picks can be pulled out if I choose to useit for another occasion.  


It hangs above the bookcase on the old door I painted and distressed.

    You are one busy gal. All that Valentine decorating you have done makes me feel guilty. I guess I had better get busy and do some Valentine decorating in my home. I love the things you have done and the burlap hearts are adorable. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Karie

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
