Back in September, I made this burlap football hanging that I saw on Pinterest (of course!) I already had all the supplies on hand and it was a quick & easy project.
1. I drew a football shape onto some newspaper to use as a pattern. Then I cut 2 of the football shapes out of burlap using the pattern.
2. I sketched my words & details out in chalk first, then painted over the chalk with acrylic paint & added some glitter~because everything's better with glitter.
3. I then cut some various ribbon that I had in my stash to hang it from.
4. As the tutorial on Pinterest suggested, stapled it shut almost all the way around and I packed the football full of stuffing (I used a couple of black trash bags) and finished stapling it shut.
Well, after a few days, the weight proved to be too much for the staples and I handed it over to my Mom, who sewed bias tape around the football for me! It looks more "finished" now & will hold up much better.
She then asked me to make her one! And so I did! :)
