A Little DIY Craft

Um...hello....I'm not sure if anybody still reads this little old blog of mine. If so, welcome!
It's been over a month since I posted anything! I have no excuse except one. Life Happened!!
I can't believe it's November already. Time is flying by this fall.
Work has been busy and the weekends have been full!
 
I have been eating my share of Apple Cider Donuts  and drinking lots of Cider from the best Apple farm around! I just can't help myself! They are so yummy and I only devour them around this time of the year! So I have to get them while I can!
 
Last week I needed to be crafty.
Does that ever happen to you? Do you ever just need to make something? To create something?
This is what I came up with. Nothing to fancy, not to difficult or time consuming, but it satisfied my craving to be crafty!
 
This is what you will need:
Some burlap
Stapler
Stretched canvas ( whatever size I used a 5x7)
Stencils
Paint

 
Stretch burlap over the canvas and staple. My burlap was a little small but I made it work.

 
Then I just started stenciling and painting until I felt like it was what I wanted.

 
Then I hung it on the wall with some old family photos!

 
Love It! I might have to make some more in different sizes!
 
Have a wonderful fall weekend!! Maybe do some crafting....
