Burlap Wallcovering...

 Got a lot done in the studio this weekend despite having HUGE amounts of things to do, school fundraisers, appointments, mom taxi, etc. I got most of the burlap wallcovering done and wanted to show you that...
Start with a small staple gun, staples, scissors, and burlap. Measure out the length of burlap you need and cut to size with and excess of about one inch per side.
 Start at the top and work your way down each side. Fold the excess under and staple aprox 1-2 inches apart. You can cover this later with decorative trim or you can use upholstery tacks.
 Use the grain of the burlap as a guide to keep it straight and even.
When you are done you'll have something like this...
Hope your weekend was great! I'll be sharing more of the studio tomorrow.
