I have been LOOKING, AND LOOKING for some vintage burlap, but couldnt find any so made my own.  The image on this burlap was made with iron-on transfer paper.
A close up shot.
You can tie messages on your chicken wire using a little ribbon, or.......
....decoupage some paper onto a clothespeg and use it to clip your messages on to the chicken wire.

Here's a simple project to do with old frames.  After stapling chicken wire to the back of an old frame I added a piece of stenciled burlap.  The frames can be used as message boards or wall art.

Love the idea about using the cork CLOVERGIRL and I will definitely be trying it.
The graphics I used for these pics are off the internet and very easy to find.
I know what you mean about the staples going through GREENCOLLEEN----I wrecked a couple frames because of it. I think the gluing would be just as good.
KENDA---a special thankyou to you for all your words of inspiration and encouragement---you continually uplift my spirits with your kindness. I am so blessed to have such an amazing group of talented junk friends!!

clovergirl writes: Just a thought....you could remove the hardboard back of the picture frame & replace it with cork, cover the cork with the burlap and then you could use push pins made from old earrings, buttons, just about anything! Posted: 8:07 pm on November 6th

itsnotjunk2me writes: Janis,
I agree with everyone else....these are FAB! Thank you for sharing- just the project I needed to use up a few rolls of chicken wire and many frames that I have stashed. My daughter's room has a Parisian theme plus she is a music major (love those clothespins)- you've pulled the two together quite nicely. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! ~judi ;) Posted: 11:01 am on November 6th
RustyDiva writes: Good morning Janis,
I have been anxiously awaiting another post from you girl cuz you know I love your stuff! If you others haven't checked out her blog then you're missing out because she brings pure elegance to every project she does!!! Love this project because anyone can tackle it ~ not too complicated and a beautiful end result. I'm still jealous over all your GREAT letters and stencils. :=) Love the mix of the burlap with the other elements because it softens it and brings just the right amount of subtle color to the white. You rock once again my friend!

greencolleen writes: love it all but what a great idea to decoupage those clothes pins, yrs ago i wrapped a goodwill $1.00 frame with chicken wire . its a great organizer. but this is really art ;) question tho i have been stapling burlap to frames but most of the time the staples go thru the wood ive looked for shorter staples no luck . so ive switched to the really heavy duty hot glue.
