Remember when I was playing with the idea of making my own faux vintage grain sack in this post? Well I finally did it!
I basically followed Joy's instructions on Joys of Home. First, I put together a pattern I liked and then printed the words in a large font. I held the pattern and fabric up to a window and traced the pattern on the fabric in pencil, and then painted the design with black craft paint.
I think I have the perfect spot for it, but I can't show you yet. Stay tuned....

GREAT job!
I LOVE IT!
It looks awesome and very authentic!
It looks like it's the real deal.
Now, you have us all curious as to where it's going.
It looks so great...I really have got to try this.
You did a fantastic job on it - it looks awesome!
You did a great job. Love the design.
I want to try it too! How did you make the crown and the vine? Is it a stencil?
Thanks everyone! I'm really happy with how it turned out, and it REALLY wasn't that hard to do.
I didn't use a stencil. For the crown, I did a search for crown clipart online and printed out one I liked that I knew would be easy to replicate. For the vine, I eyeballed it and drew it freehand.
I love this! It's sooo cute! And it looks expensive. Now I want to make one.
This turned out really well! Great job~
