Cut a piece of burlap that is larger than your canvas. Flip your canvas over and pull the sides of the burlap so that they hang over the back. Using a glue gun secure the burlap to your canvas.

To create a stencil for your table numbers simply print out large numbers using Word or Photoshop. Then cut these numbers out as they will serve as a guide for your table number.

Using glue dots secure your table number to the center of your canvas. Glue dots are perfect for this project as they will not tear the burlap.

Using a sponge brush and white acrylic, paint around your printed number. I like to use a sponge brush for this project as it lets a bit of the canvas shine through giving the table number a rustic look.
