DIY Project: Burlap Christmas Banner
It's Christmas Eve! We hope you have plans for a lovely day and that your stockings are hung with care. Today we're featuring a lovely & simple DIY project by our friend Angie of Sweet Memory Garden Photography. Thought you'd like to see more of her fabulousness after we featured her Bohemian Chic Birthday Party. Part of the beauty of this project is how diverse its uses can be. You can use any paint colors/stencils & create a banner for any event-- plus it's affordable & easy! Enjoy...

step 5: with a sponge roller paint the burlap triangle white, letting some of the original burlap color come through
