Altered Burlap Canvas Using Xyron Adhesives & A Giveaway

Welcome to our second day of projects created by our amazing 3 Birds Design Team using products from our friends at Xyron! Yesterday, we had an amazing altered wood letter by Juliana Michaels. We continue the home decor theme today with an altered canvas by Mary Ann Jenkins.

Hi friends, it’s Mary Ann here today with a fun little piece of home décor to share! One of the highlights of my project was using the Xyron Creative Station and 3” Sticker Maker, that were so generously given to all the design team members to show the many different ways this amazing adhesive can be used. I used the Creative Station with the adhesive cartridge, but it can also be used to make magnets and for laminating too! And now on to my project…



I started with a burlap canvas panel I found at my local craft store, and added a bit of white paint and a few splatters of coral and teal mist.

Next, I chose the green oval stripe sticker from the Midday Medley Nestable Festival Sticker Pad and layered it over the floral patterned paper, cut the banner shape from the pink striped paper, and die cut the doily shaped from a piece of coordinating cardstock. I laid all the pieces along with the “Find a Favorite Little Memory” and green polka dot banner shaped sticker gently on my burlap panel to check for placement and see how it would all fit together.

Since I am using the burlap panel, I didn’t want to use a liquid glue that could warp the panel, so using the Xyron Creative Station was the perfect answer to add adhesive to all the various pieces of papers.



For the smaller stems of leaves, the 3” Sticker Maker was ideal to use.

After adhering all the pieces to the burlap panel, I added the sweet little birds nest (also found at my local craft store) with a bit of hot glue, made a tiny little flower with the a strip of paper from the Graceful Season Quilled Cardmaking kit and added it to the birds nest, then add the “favorite memory” sticker with some foam tape for a bit of dimension.

I really like how well the pieces adhered to the burlap using the Xyron adhesive! A strong hold, without having to use a liquid glue. I will definitely be using my Xyron Creative Station for many more of my crafting projects!
