Simple Wall Art

I scored a bunch of old sewing hoops a month or so ago at a local thrift store. 

I don't sew but I thought they could be used to hold fabric wall art.

Something like this:

So one down, about 10 more to go.  Some hoops are big, some are small and some are oval.

I don't think I want to use them all this way.  Any ideas on what else I could do with these?

Is it Spring yet!?

I'm getting a little twitchy.  I'm ready for warmer weather, trips to the park and picnic lunches with my little punky.  So to tide me over I've been making these scrummy little burlap flowers. 

Is it rude to say that I think they are really CUTE?  I think that if I saw these in a store I would buy them.  I think that's a good sign.  And they were really easy.  Seriously...really easy. 

1.  Find a twig or stick the length you desire.  Make sure it is thick enough to hold the flower (remember the flower will be heavier once you add hot glue).

2.  Take scraps of burlap and cut out rough circles in varying sizes.

3.  Glue the circles together and then glue a button on top.



4.  Cut out a piece of felt in a similar color.

5.  Place hot glue all over the felt then center the twig in the glue. 



6.  Place the burlap flower over the top of the felt.



Ta Da....a cute little burlap flower.  I can't think of a sweeter way to use up your scraps.

Beware:  THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!  See evidence below.
