Directions:

1. Make sure to lay paper down before stenciling on burlap.
2. Tape around stencil with removable painter’s tape so that the stencil won’t move.
3. Using a stencil brush, dip just the tip of your brush into the paint.  Tap off excess paint.
4. Stenciling is a “dry” brush technique.
5. Apply paint with stencil brush in a straight up and down motion called stippling.
6. Clean Stencil between each image.
7. Glue lace trim onto each edge of the runner using Fabri Tac glue.

• Burlap is a rough fabric.  You may want to add a layer of fabric or felt underneath the runner to protect the finish of your table.

Because I really liked how the table runner turned out…

I decided to create a pillow for the comfy chair in my dining room

I used muslin as a lining for the burlap and on the reverse side of the pillow.

(The pillow, of course, consisted of some sewing.)
