Well hello there! Happy Friday!!! I am so so excited to be guest posting at Live Laugh Rowe today! I recently met Kelly through the blog world over on Instagram when we found that we both live in St. Louis. She has been such a great help to me as I still consider myself a newbie to blogging!
I have always been huge on home design and anything DIY, so after I got married last year I decided to start Little Glass Jar to share all of our home projects and anything else related to the everyday life! Working a full time job on top of the blog can get a little crazy during the work week, but my blog is my creative outlet and it is what I am most passionate about! I would absolutely love for you to come over and visit sometime!
My style has a lot to do with finding pieces full of character from flea markets, thrift stores, and antique malls. I am a lover of all things old that can be given new purpose. When I found these old bean sacks at an antique store and knew that I could come up with something to make from them, so they came home with me!
I decided to make some DIY art from the sacks for our home office. I’ve done similar projects using tea towels that turned out awesome, so I got to work!
Materials Needed:
- Bean Sacks
- 1×2 Wood Strips
- Wood Stain
- Scissors
- Staple Gun
- Saw (I used a Miter Saw)
- Flat Corner Braces
- Drill or Screw Driver
- Picture Hooks
- Hammer
I started by cutting out the parts of each bean sack I wanted to use. For this particular project, I used 19 inch squares. I used our miter saw to cut eight 19 inch sides, each with 45 degree angles to make the frame. After I stained the pieces with wood stain, I used flat corner braces to assemble each wood frame.
Once the two frames were assembled, I simply used a staple gun to staple the bean sack directly to the back side of the frame. I added two picture hooks and that was it!
New vintage bean sack art pieces for our home office! I love how they turned out, and I hope you do too!
A huge thanks to Kelly again for inviting me to guest post! Seriously, I had so much fun! If you are interested to see more from Little Glass Jar, please stop by and say hi!

Great job Ashley!

Love this! I think I might even try using the L-shaped brackets on the front of the frame.

These are great! I love that you used unpainted wood to keep with the rustic look, although I could also see this going very well in a more modern house.
