Three of my dear friends are going on a mission trip to Kenya this summer. They’re hosting a Bunko night with a raffle to raise support and I agreed to make something for the raffle. If you’ve been around Dukes and Duchesses for a long time, you may remember the crosses in shadowboxes I made for another fundraiser. This is similar with a bit of a twist.
I bought an oval frame {on clearance at Michael’s} and a {somewhat ugly} cross and spray painted the cross black.
I traced the opening of my frame onto foam board, cut the oval out with a craft knife, covered it with two layers of burlap, and pressed it tightly into the frame.
I glued the cross onto the center of the burlap {with lots of hot glue} …
… and that was it. A simple project but I love the striking look of the black on burlap.
A huge version of this display would make a great focal point in a room, wouldn’t it? I may have to add that to my project list.
I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to read the rest!
I’m going to pin this later… in my Crazy for Burlap board. 😉
So lovely, Randi. What a wonderful craft to do while we’re in Lent.
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful!

It definitely looks striking! I love the combination of crisp spraypaint and the rugged burlap.
