- Cut whatever shape you want out of burlap.
- Paint the burlap with whatever details needed. Do you want to paint the back a solid color? Totally up to you. Since my front door is glass, I typically do one or two quick coats on the back of my design. If I had a wood door with no glass, I wouldn't be going to such trouble.
- Cut some wire and arch it so that you have that ready for the "hanger" part.
- After all paint is dry, stuff your design with plastic grocery bags and glue your design shut as you stuff. I recommend doing this outside since hot glue can get everywhere and burlap dust can also get everywhere. Don't overstuff - it doesn't need to be too bulgy.
- Go slowly around your whole object and make sure you are glueing each seam nicely.
- At the top of your object, put some extra glue on there for the wire and then glue shut.
Next up on the burlap door hanger list? A cupcake, for sure, for birthdays. But other things, I cannot even say! It is going to be so adorable you might fall out of your chair.
so cute!!!
