We've been living in our house for over a year now... but until today haven't had our house number displayed anywhere. Cricut to the rescue, once again. I absolutely love the way this turned out.

I noticed that burlap is so popular these days. You can see it in all the upscale stores. It's so inexpensive but has great texture and is very easy to work with.
For this project, I started with a square of burlap and frayed the edges. Then I cut out numbers 2 and 6 using my friend the Cricut out of fabric. I used iron on thing-a-majigy (what is the name for it???) to attach the numbers to burlap. I also cut out "Creme" on the Cricut, out of freezer paper this time. Ironed that on the burlap and used it as a stencil. Then I used some heavy duty glue to attach the whole thing to the wood plaque, which I painted using acrylic paints and a layer of mod podge (mainly for texture). For the finishing touch I added some upholstery tacks to each corner of the burlap. |
