LUCK Burlap Banner Tutorial

03/04/2010 By Christie

First off, I apologize for the lack in quality photos–I made this at night so the lighting wasn’t very good. Also, I didn’t take a picture of every step!

-First, cut nine 4″x 4″ squares out of burlap. My burlap was the sage color.

-Next, I traced my LUCK letters onto freezer paper, cut out, and ironed onto the center of the burlap squares. I used Copperplate Gothic font, sized 220.

-I used a clover similar to THIS one, and just resized it in Microsoft Word to be about the same size as the letters. For some reason, even after 15 minutes of searching, I can’t seem to find the exact one I used.

-Now, paint each burlap piece. I chose black paint.
-Cut out nine 5″ x 5″ squares fabric of choice. I used this damask green and cream that I already had.
-Now sew about 1/2″ from the edge of the burlap–I used black thread. Just sew around the whole square.

-Cut about 100″ of ribbon. I kind of just laid mine out at this point, and after measuring in about 14″, I started sewing the squares onto the ribbon, leaving a 3″ gap in between each square. So these aren’t exact measurments, and it also depends on where you are hanging it. I don’t have a mantel, so I ended up hanging it over my curtains in my kitchen. So you may have to adjust the spacing in between your squares.

-Next I just measured out some cream ric-rac, 11 pieces, each cut 8″-9″. I tied them around the black ribbon the “loop” way: make a loop and stick the other two ends through it and pull tight.
-I hung some rope along the length of the ribbon as well, to just add some detail. It was $0.67/yard at Walmart. First I hung it on my wall so you could see the details a little better without the sun shining through it:). And now, it hangs in my kitchen.
