Burlap DIY Monogram Aisle Runner

Make a burlap DIY monogram aisle runner perfect for any rustic wedding with this super simple craft tutorial. If the bride loves all things burlap and mason jars, this is definitely the aisle runner for her.  My daughter is getting married this summer and this was a special request directly from her.  I thought I would share the details on how to make it here.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY monogram aisle runner:

• Burlap Table Runner
• Black Paint
• Paint Brush
• Vinyl (any color will work)
• Silhouette, Cricut, or Craft Knife
• White Fabric (any will work)
• Sewing Machine

Cut out your monogram from the vinyl using an electronic craft cutter or craft knife.  I cut mine where it was as close to 12 inches wide as I could get it.  On the Cricut, you will need an extra long 12 x 24 mat to accomplish this.  Remove the inside of your letter from the vinyl and apply the entire stencil to your burlap.  Be sure you have protected the work surface under the burlap as the paint will seep through.

Dab on the black paint with an up and down motion.  Be careful not to get the paint on the burlap anywhere but inside of your letter as shown below.

Paint around the entire DIY monogram letter.  Then carefully remove your vinyl from the burlap.  Take caution with the wet paint.

Allow the entire thing to dry completely.  Add a ruffle on both sides using white fabric with your sewing machine.  This step is optional but it really makes the entire thing POP!

We set up a little wedding scene in the backyard to give it a test drive.  If you love that “last chance to run” sign, you can click here to buy it now.

We added some hooks to the end of our aisle.  From the hooks we hung mason jars full of baby’s breath.  You can click here to get hangers for your mason jars.

They are simple to add to any standard mouth jar for a hanging vase or lantern.  They are great for parties and weddings.

Make this burlap DIY monogram aisle runner for your wedding!  You will love the rustic touch it adds to your ceremony!

These burlap and lace mason jar centerpieces would also be a beautiful touch to your rustic, shabby chic wedding!
