Hey friends, Becki here. I am so excited to share a little piece of Spring with you today. During the months of January, February, and (sometimes) March I get SO tired of Winter and look forward to anything Spring related. I was thrilled when the new Tealightful collection landed on my doorstep because of it’s beautiful Spring color palette and theme. I wanted to create a beautiful piece of DIY Spring Home Decor to display in my home. I started by trimming a piece of patterned paper down to 8×10 to fit into my cream colored frame.
Then, I cut twenty 2×2 squares out of various patterned papers from the Tealightful collection. I adhered them around the edge of the 8×10 piece of patterned paper. Then I dove into my collection of stickers and die cuts to embellish the center of the frame.
Then…comes the my favorite part. I LOVE Thickers and use them as much as possible so I added the frame sentiment with Thickers from the new Simple Life collection.
After I had my papers, embellishments, and Thickers in place, I took the whole project to my sewing machine to add a little bit of machine stitching. I stitched around the inside of the paper squares twice and at the bottom of the Thickers.
When you take a closer look at the DIY Spring home decor piece I created you’ll see that it isn’t under glass in the frame. I left the glass out of the frame so that you could really see the texture and dimension on the artwork.
I love the dimension the Thickers add to this project! The stitching also adds additional texture to artwork.
In addition to the texture from the Thickers, I also adhered my die cuts with pop dots. By adhering the die cuts with pop dots the kite and the clouds “float” off the frame and add just a little bit more interest.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Spring!! I’m so excited to have a little bit of Spring in my living room with this DIY Spring home decor. Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. I’ll see you again soon!
