Dave and I have both been really into old school design lately, especially supergraphics. If you’re not familiar with the supergraphic, it’s a design style that was popular in the 60’s and 70’s that featured bright colors and bold, often geometric shapes. My burlap paintings are sort of a miniaturized take on that idea. Want to make your own chevron paintings? It’s pretty simple and lots of fun! Here’s how… Materials
Burlap coffee sack Water-based screen printing or fabric ink in 3 colors (your choice!) Paint brush Masking tape Picture frames Sewing machine and thread
Directions These were lots of fun to make, and they were pretty simple to put together. Dealing with the tape was the trickiest part, and it’s important that you use care when you’re laying down the tape and when you’re pulling it off at the end. Have you guys been crafting with burlap? I’d love to hear what you’re making!
