First I found the mason jar pattern using a stamp image that I blew up to the size I wanted:
I then traced the image onto some muslin fabric and started embroidering with one of my favorite stitches called the stem stitch (great for outlining)
After I finished embroidering the mason jars, I cut and ripped the edges to make them look a little more tattered...
Hand stamped the quote using a basic lower case stamp set and some black ink onto muslin and glued them onto some burlap
I covered 2 8X10 canvases in a burlap, used my hot glue gun to put it all together and voila!

Love the burlap. I have been wanting to use some bu the yardage is expensive. I found a better priced alternative. If you have a Tractor Supply Store near you they sell burlap bags for only $1.29 and they are large with lots of good fabric and only 2 seams.
very cute, I love burlap!
Oh what a super creative idea! Great job!
I saw these featured over at Oopsey Daisy and had to stop by!! I love the embroidered mason jars and they look perfect on the burlap frames!! So cute. I'm sharing this on my FB page and Twitter.
