1. 1/2yard of pink burlap at Hobby Lobby and that is enough to make 2 banners.
2. cut a triangle out of card stock to use as a template. It was 6" across the top and 7 1/2" long. I also cut a heart out of card stock to use as a template.
3. Once I traced the triangles on the burlap and cut them out, I ironed all of them. I also folded the tops down about 1/2" and ironed them down as I was going.
4. Next I used my heart template, red acrylic paint and a sponge brush to make the hearts. Make sure you blot the paint on instead of strokes, it just makes it easier & have some paper under your burlap b/c the paint will bleed though.
5. After I finished the hearts, I used a pencil eraser to make the polka dots. Just dipped it in a little bit of paint and dotted it on where I wanted them.
6. When they dried completely, I attached them to twine. I put the twine in the fold I made when I was ironing and used a drop of hot glue on either side to hold the twin in place.
This is the template
