Materials

  • Hollow Block Wood Set  6pc - SCH/368
  • Burlap Sheet 12"x12" - Canvas Corp
  • Chipboard Letters 3" - Darice
  • Acrylic Paint
    • Cadmium Orange - Americana
    • Raw Umber - FolkArt
  • Mod Podge (Matte) - Plaid
  • Bristle Brush 1"
  • Bristle Brush Round 3

Directions

  1. Using the 1" Bristle Brush paint both the blocks and letters, spelling GATHER, Raw Umber.
  2. Using Cadmium Orange and Round 3 Bristle Brush, fill the 12x12 burlap sheet with random dots. Drip brush into paint and set the paint brush straight down on the burlap and twist the brush around in a circle to create more of an even/solid dot.
  3. Let the paint dry, then cut the burlap to size for the front of each block. It is easiest to trace the block on the burlap with a pencil or pen and then cut out the rectangle.
  4. Apply Mod Podge to the front of the block and press the coordinating burlap, dot side up to the Mod Podge covered block. Repeat until each block has burlap attached to it.
  5. Once dry, pull out a string or two on each side to create a fringe edge.
  6. Adhere the letters to the burlap side of each block, using foam squares.
  7. Display.
