I really loved this pillow. But considering I can't sew, I knew this would be a no-go!
So I thought, maybe I could paint a starfish onto burlap and frame it. Easy art? So I did!
First, I traced a starfish I already have with chalk onto burlap.
Then I painted a starfish with white acrylic paint on to the burlap. I kinda free-handed it. It's not perfect. But is a starfish really perfect?
Then I framed it. Cute I thought!
Now I'll show you my completed summer vignette. If you remember it started with this:
And now it is this:
I added some rope along the tray and throughout the candles and shells. As well I added the wild grass and the sticks. The twine balls were added and the spray painted jars. Voila! It's complete! Do you like it?
I'd love to hear your comments!
I like how you made it your own. Very ingenious idea! I was reading through some of your posts and you have some very cute ideas! I may have to "borrow" a few! Thanks so much for visiting!
