nursery ~ wall art

 

i have wanted to do some art with embroidery hoops for a long time. 

i know you've seen them all over blog land as well.

it's an inexpensive way to create art work and fill a wall.

 i loved being able to use some of my fabric stash.

it was so fun to spread out all my fabric and mix & match to find a fun combination of patterns & colors. 

i bought all but one of the hoops from hoblob.

the extra one was from good will for 50 cents.....i just had to remove the 1980's, slate blue, puffy goose applique.

if you want to do this yourself, be on the lookout for embroidery hoops at your thrift store...even if it currently has something scary attached to it. 

all you need is the hoop...the other part can be ripped off. :)

anyhow, i love how it turned out...it makes me so happy every time i go in her room. 

 

b.t.dub, these are really simple to do. 

you just sandwich the fabric between the hoops, tighten the screw, & cut off the extra fabric from behind. 

i also hot glue the raw edges down in the back....because you know, i have a love affair with my hot glue gun.

her room is nearly finished. . . well i don't know if i'll ever be finished.

i think i'll always be adding and tweaking as i do with any room in our house.

all of the big, necessary things are done. 

now i'm just doing fun little extras.

i'll be ready to reveal the full room to you soon!
