Old Shutter Card Holder

My friend Lauren gave me this old shutter, and I thought it would make a perfect card holder for our wedding. I really love how it turned out!

Time: 20 minutes

Supplies:
Shutter (I decided not to paint this one because it seemed perfect the way it was, but you could paint one any color you need)
Burlap
Lace ribbon
Paint
Hot glue

Steps:
1. Cut burlap into triangles
2. Paint letters onto pieces
3. Let dry then hot glue them to a piece of ribbon
4. Let dry then attach to shutter

Monogram Burlap Aisle Runner

I had a roll of 9.78 burlap left over after making our table runners, so I got the idea of using it for an aisle runner.

Time: 20 minutes

Supplies:
Burlap
Paint
Scrap Lace
Scrap Board or cardboard

Steps:

1. Draw Monogram on a board or cardboard piece

2. Lay burlap over board and paint over burlap tracing your design

3. Let dry and then cap ends with lace and sew (I used a sewing machine to do this, but you could probably glue or hand stitch).

All done!  I loved how this turned out and I can't wait to walk down it in May :)

We will have a much better picture posted after the wedding!

UPDATE:



The aisle runner went well with our rustic theme, and even in heels, I didn't trip or get stuck in the burlap...always a plus ha
