Valentine Burlap glittered heart banner

This inspiration came from Etsy via pinterest.

First I took some regular burlap and cut it into triangles.  I free handed the triangles as I wanted them to look a little rustic (this is burlap right??)

Depending on how big you want your garland is how big you will cut your triangles.  I did mine 4.5″ at their widest point.

Once the triangles were cut and pressed I jumped onto my cricut and cut a heart template out of cardboard

I then set my template centered onto the triangle burlap piece. (before you begin to paint make sure there is something underneath your burlap as the paint seeps through)  Then I took just regular toll paint (deco art) and a sponge brush and dabbed on the paint where the opening of my template was.

Once the area of my heart was painted I removed the template from the burlap and while the paint was still wet I went ahead and glittered the wet painted heart.  Then dumped off any excess glitter.

I  did allow each triangle to dry as I wanted the paint / glitter to stick.  Once they were all dry I decided to sew them together on my sewing machine. If you don’t want to sew I am sure gluing them to some ribbon would be very cute!

When all my burlap pieces were strung / sewn together I then hung them along my mantle.  Have you noticed that I love banners?  It is amazing to me how much they add to any room! Especially when your fireplace is the focal point of the room.

I love how they look a little rustic with just an added touch of “bling bling” 😉  A girl can never use too much glitter!
