More burlap goodness...
Bird Egg Prints
After seeing so many great burlap projects from other
bloggers, I have been inspired to create some of my own.
Previously, I made a Burlap Canvas Paris Postcard which
I love and keep moving all around the house.
While making some Vintage Bird Prints On Dictionary Pages,
I found two incredible bird egg prints from The Graphics Fairy site.
Duck egg blue burlap from Hobby Lobby
is the perfect background for this beautiful
print of a collection of bird eggs from
The Graphics Fairy.
I love how the burlap coordinates with the green pumpkin.
Burlap and pumpkins.
This fall the pumpkin with the hydrangeas in the rustic basket
has been a background for several vignettes.
These two 8"x10" bird egg prints are easy to make using
images from The Graphics Fairy, textured scrapbook paper,
burlap from Hobby Lobby, and
canvas-wrapped 8"x10" frames also from Hobby Lobby.

The eggs in the prints are numbered with information at the bottom of the prints
that identifies which fowl lays the egg.

The companion print has a wonderful large blue egg.
Both prints have detailed grasses as nests for the egg collections.
Begin by using Mod Podge to glue the burlap to the canvas.
While the burlap glue dries, print the two egg prints onto
white textured 8.5"x11" scrapbook paper.
The stiff paper creates a stronger print and
the texture of the paper gives the print a more
professional looking finish.
I re-sized and printed both images on the same sheet of
8.5"x11" paper. Use your software's formatting layout
to make the two images the same size.
By using the downloaded Graphics Fairy images, you will get
sharper images and more true colors than if you use my image above.
After the burlap glue dries and before attaching the printed
bird egg images, attach a picture hanger to the back of each canvas frame.
Cut the two images you printed. I use a paper cutter to get sharp edges.
Carefully measure each to insure they are the same size.
TIP: Many 8"x10" photo frames come with mats that fit around
smaller photos inserted into the frame.
Lay one of these mats over the bird egg image
to lightly draw inside the mat. Then cut along the drawn lines.
This will help create the right size proportion
for the 8"x10" canvas and help create the same size
images for the two prints.
Use Mod Podge to glue each image to a burlap covered canvas frame.
I put glue on the burlap as well as the back of the printed image
for a stronger bond.
