Life is Beautiful – Altered Embroidery Hoop Wall Decor

Hello arty-crafty People…!!!

I’m Priya Mishra. Today I am very excited to share my first DT project here on the Itsy Bitsy blog with you all. This month’s theme for the blog challenge is “HOME DECOR” and I made a wall decor .

When I started to think working on this project, I thought of making a cute, shabby project and the thing that instantly came into my mind was the “Fairy Sparkle ” Paper pack. This paper pack is so close to my heart, and there is so much scope to make so many projects with this one pack. I love each and every element of it and I hope you like it too. So, here’s what I created…

Now let’s move on to the procedure:
I took these three embroidery hoop of 3 sizes 12″, 8″ and 3″. You will get them in the store. Then I took the Fairy Sparkle Paper pack and selected the papers that I wanted as my base. Also I took Some thin chipboards and cut them to the size of my Hoops.

I applied clear gesso over my hoops. Then I cut the papers into the sizes slightly smaller to the outer ring of the hoops. I stuck them with the chipboards and covered them with clear gesso as well.

Then using a stencil and Grainy Texture Paste, I created some texture on the paper. For my second hoop which is 8″ in size I cut another small circular paper and created some texture on that and stuck on it.

After adding some Color Splash on the papers, I glued them to the hoops and arranged them and glued them as I wanted.

For embellishments here, I mostly used fussy cutting elements from Little Birdie’s Fairy Sparkle paper pack. Also I used natural elements from the store, flowers and chipboards.
Here are some close up pics of the project.
