Mr. and Mrs. Split Ampersand wedding announcement on burlap and framed for my son and future daughter in-law. (Last name hidden for privacy.) I asked them about it before I did it because I wanted to make sure they would like it. (I personally prefer a more heirloom look.) I used the Newspaper font in my Master Works II software to do their names and date. This design comes in several sizes. I used the 5x7 and with the words added at the bottom it fit perfect in an 8 x 10 frame.

Great work - the design, mat and frame go wonderfully together. :)

Looks so nice.

This is cute... I'm doing something similar for my god-son and his bride-to-be. Thanks for the tip on using tightly woven burlap. I hadn't thought ahead to that, so you've helped me avoid a misstep!

Well done !

Beautifully done!

Nice work! I just picked up the designs. Thanks for the information!

Thank you.

Looks great. If your using the self-adhesive board be aware it can cause white or cream to yellow.

Thank you. Good advice. Do you know what type of acid free product we could use instead? Just staple or tape it?

Actually I checked my board and it says it's acid free. It shouldn't yellow.

This looks so neat for a wedding gift and shows when the new household was established...also serves as a hint in case he forgets their anniversary. lol

Thank you. It goes with their rustic wedding decor.

I have made one and plan to do another this week. I wasn't sure to frame, stretch over a canvas frame or make a yard flag. Unsure what fabric for a yard flag. I purchased a monogram flag for me and it has faded bad. It was the rip stop or whatever the flags are usually done in,too. Yours looks extremely well made.

ps. what stabilizer have you used on the burlap,please?

by sewmom edited 24 Jan 2015

I backed the fabric with Kona cotton because the white stabilizer would have shown through. I sprayed adhesive and stitch basted the fabric to the burlap. Then I hooped tear away and used spray adhesive, pins, and a basting frame to keep it all in place while stitching. The finished item is mounted to a self adhesive cardboard you can get at craft stores. The frame came with the off white border. I always pick a frame that has plenty of room for all the layers. This one has the metal tabs you bend over in the back over the frame backing.

I've heard of people using burlap with plastic coating for yard flags but I haven't done it.

perfect for a young couple great job
