Strictly Homemade: Toddler Boy's Room on a Budget Series

Welcome to art 3 of My Son's Toddler Room Makeover on a $100 budget-

Burlap Accessories

Burlap is cheap, versatile, and has a fabulous texture!! Don't overlook the possibilities of burlap.

I made the trio of silhouettes and revamped the lampshade for $3.56.

Here is how Wesley's lamp started. It was fine "as is" but with a little burlap and paint it looks like it was made for Wesley's big boy room.

Luckily, I stock up on Burlap so I had some on hand from a previous project, but if I were to add the burlap to my total cost it would only be $3.00

Layout the lampshade on your material trace around leaving 3/4" on both side to turn under.

Using a glue gun smooth and glue your burlap around the lamp.

Then I painted the little star red. Remember the red star over his bed. Not completely planned but doesn't it just make you giggle when things come together so nicely?

Lamp $0 for upgrade!

Then the silhouette artwork. I bought these frames at a consignment sale for $3.00. Great red frames- terrible 80's artwork

Nothing that burlap can't cover. I just wrapped burlap and taped it down.

Bye-bye 80's bears.

Then I printed off the Internet silhouettes of a dog, fish, and duck. All boy stuff! I cut them out then traced around them with a chalk pencil on black card stock. Then cut out again and glue on the burlap.
