I am still crafting {smile}. I am working on some 'home decor' items for the Mother's Day Craft Fair @ La Cueva High School. This craft fair focuses on home decor items, and I always craft some special Mother's Day cards.
So, I was looking at some of my left over baby girl scrap papers and embellishments, from Carta Bella. I just love pink, with other soft colors and a splash of red! I was looking through some of hoard stash. And came across a few embroidery hoops. Interesting, because I don't embroider, cross stitch, or other many needle crafts. But, I know I wanted I had an idea, just don't too sure today. So, I used paper in place of the fabric. And I did add some machine stitching {smile}.
Recipe: I started with a 5" hoop. I cut my paper just a bit larger than the hoop. I used scor tape to adhere the pattern paper to the outside of the inner hoop. I machine stitched the scrap piece of white cotton trim. And then I used my hot glue gun to adhere the chipboard pieces. I added a trio of buttons to the opposite side of the framed girl. I used one string of cream twine and threaded it through the buttons. I added cream pom pom trim to the outside of the larger hoop. I used scor tape to adhere it to the outside of the hoop. I used tea dyed and pink seam binding to create a 'hanger'. I tied a multi-loop bow out of the pink seam binding, and then tied it to the tea dyed seam binding.
This little treasure was quite fun to create, so I believe that I will make another one later this weekend. I haven't figured out the theme, but I know it will be sweet {smile}.
