Spring Flower Hoop Wreath

17

I am so glad that it is almost Spring! Soon leaves will start budding on trees and flowers will appear en masse. Fresh flower trimmings will brighten indoor spaces, but only after I scold my kids for picking all of the fresh blooms from the landscaping. Sigh.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionIf you are a Pebbles Blog regular, then you know that I love making home décor pieces with regular ol’ wooden embroidery hoops. Inspired by the brightly colored flowers in the Home Grown collection, I dug into my stash of embroidery hoops to create a simple piece of embroidery hoop décor. BONUS: Embroidery hoop décor also doubles as dog toys! Double sigh.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionGuess what? There was a fussy cut made to create this bright, floral wreath. Yesss!

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionPebbles makes flowers easy. The only supply I used to make this wreath was a package of die cut flower chips. There are 80 flowers and leaves (bonus!)  in this package, which is more than enough to go the entire way around a hoop to make a more grand wreath. And they are so pretty, too.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionAn easy way to plan your bouquet is to trace the embroidery hoop onto a piece of cardstock and play around with the floral arrangement. This gives you the freedom to experiment and change your mind before anything becomes semi-permanent. TIP: Take a picture of your final arrangement to use as a reference when putting your flowers onto the embroidery hoop.

Rather than assemble your paper flower bouquet directly on the embroidery hoop, cut out a little piece of the circle to use as a base. This will help ensure that your bouquet follows the curve of the hoop. Trim any excess away after you have assembled your bouquet.

Burlap Hoop Decor

On this Patriot’s Day, many of us will pause to remember our loved ones.

PatriotsWeek-01

Amanda here today with a timeless piece of decor to help you spark happy memories of your loved ones throughout the year.

Burlap Hoop Decor by @popperandmimi using the Home+Made collection from @pebblesincI die cut a quote from iron-on transfer and adhered it to the polka dot specialty burlap from the Home+Made collection.  It was a bit of a beast to get the burlap into the hoop, but I finally figured out a way to do it and will show you below.

Burlap Hoop Decor by @popperandmimi using the Home+Made collection from @pebblesincI didn’t have gold ribbon to make a bow, so I adhered two pieces of gold glitter tape together and folded it into a bow.  I stapled the layers together in the middle and adhered strips to make the knot and tails.

Treasure Heart Hoop 3I die cut my quote from black iron-on transfer and ironed it directly to the top of the burlap.  I used a piece of parchment paper to protect the burlap from the direct heat of the iron.

Burlap Hoop Decor by @popperandmimi using the Home+Made collection from @pebblesincThe polka dot burlap from the Home+Made collection is super stiff which is great for die cutting and other cutting applications, but I wanted this little baby to fold around an embroidery hoop.  I tried several things to soften up the burlap, but the only thing that worked was getting it sopping wet.  I laid the burlap on my kitchen table and poured water right on top, patting it to help the water go all the way through.  I blotted it dry with a towel after it was nice and soaked.

Treasure Heart Hoop 5I trimmed the excess burlap from around the quote and and held it up against a window so I could center the quote in the hoop.

Treasure Heart Hoop 6Looking at the hoop like a clock, I started by folding and clipping the burlap to the inner hoop at 12 and 6 o’clock.  I then added clips at 3 and 9 o’clock.  I added the remaining clips, folding and pinching the burlap as I went along.

Treasure Heart Hoop 2I let the burlap dry completely and then secured the outer hoop.  I then trimmed the excess burlap from the back of the hoop.

Have a great day!

Paper Pieced Embroidery Hoop Monogram

We’re so excited to be bringing you a week full of scrappy projects. Designer Amanda Coleman is kicking things off with an awesome paper pieced embroidery hoop monogram made entirely of paper scraps!
Scraps
You know those funny little strips at the top of a 6″x6″ pad with the hole punch smack in the middle?  I have always thought of these strips of paper as utterly useless…until now.  I gathered a bunch of strips, cut them into pieces and turned them into a mosaic.
Embroidery Hoop Art
Inspired by tile mosaic, I took those little paper bits and turned them into a monogrammed mosaic.  Looks like this took forever, right?  This little embroidery hoop is only 6″ across and, with a pair of tweezers and a bit of planning, it didn’t take too long to put together.
Embroidery Hoop Art
Pick two contrasting colors for your mosaic monogram.  I wanted the letter to be clearly defined so I used a bunch of little pieces and followed the edge of the letter really closely.  I was a little more flexible with the placement of the blue pieces.
Embroidery Hoop Art
I added a cute bouquet of die cut flowers with enamel dot centers.
Embroidery Hoop Art
Trace your embroidery hoop and letter onto a piece of cardstock.  Apply dry adhesive to the letter area and begin adhering small bits of paper.  Repeat with the remainder of the circle.
Embroidery Hoop Art attach hoop Amanda Coleman
After all of your pieces have been adhered to your shape, glue the inner hoop to the back of your cardstock, using a light to help you get it into the proper position. Trim any excess paper with a craft knife.
Embroidery Hoop Art
Secure the outer hoop to the inner hoop and embellish as desired.
Have a great day!

Paper Flower Wreath with Terhi | Video Tutorial

Leave a Comment

Hey Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you sharing some very colourful spring inspiration.
I was getting ready to host a small party, just because of spring and the upcoming summer, but obviously all these social occasions are now moved to future. But nothing will stop be cheering out home with flowers and colors!
Come and take a look, there’s a video at the end of this post.

This wreath is about 16″ wide, and I love it so much! I do love making small things like mini albums, but sometimes it’s fun to go really BIG.

As you can see from the process video, all of the blooms are created in very simple way. Most of them are rolled flowers, which means I have cut them with my Silhouette and then rolled the paper and glued it down. Others are layered flowers and they are just as simple as the others.
And what’s more, you can do it all using scissors if you prefer.

After I had all the flowers prepared, I cut all the leaves too and started to think about the design on the black metal hoop.

Hot glue became me dearest friend during the creation! It’s so quick and easy way to adhere the paper blooms together! First I adhered all the flowers and then the leaves.

Here’s the process video to brighten up your day!

If you can’t see it here, here’s the link: http://youtu.be/eVg5BHxFVm0

Keep on crafting, it’s important during the times like this.

DIY Autumn Wreath

Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing a new project using the This Is Family collection. This is one of my favorite Pebbles collection ever. The colors are absolutely gorgeous. When I saw the mustard yellow paper, I immediately thought of sunflowers. I found a beautiful sunflower cut file in the silhouette store. I started off my project by cutting out 3 of them.

I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them after they were cut out, but then I saw this wooden hoop I had in my scraproom and I knew I had to make a wreath. I cut out some leaves and twigs from the Silhouette store, The Cut Shoppe, and JustNick studio. I didn’t really have a plan, I just cut out a whole bunch and started sticking them to my wreath.

I really love all the layers and dimension it created. I even curled the sunflower petals a little bit to add some extra.

I finished it by added a greeting from the phrase thickers. This was a fun project to make. I can’t wait for fall to display this in my house.

Thanks for stopping by!
