Burlap Banner

One day I was having an itch to fill an empty spot above my kitchen sink with some crafty wall art. The previous renters of our apartment had left two nails in the wall spaced just under two feet apart, and I just had to do something to make the most of it.

I knew I wanted to use a spoon shaped like a heart that wouldn't work as well as my others for cooking purposes, so I could try to incorporate it into this DIY!

That's when I settled on some wordage for the banner I wanted to place on the wall.

"Let's spoon"

Final Product

Not only is spooning my husband's and my favorite type of cuddle, but it also makes the usage of the spoon next to the sign a little punny, and I LOVE puns. This seemed to be the perfect craft for our home!

I started by cutting out burlap rectangles for the individual letters, and I free-handed each letter (which lead to some sloppiness).

twisted string around nail

I hot glued the triangles around some brown string, and after it was all together, I just wrapped the extra long ends of the string to the old nails in the wall.

The final result is not professional, nor 100% rave-worthy, but it looks great in our kitchen, and fits our personalities perfectly.
