Flower Wall Art

I have been having physical therapy for tendonitis in my shoulder…last week my therapist was talking about a craft party she had been to and she showed me a really cute wall hanging that one of her friends made. I hadn’t seen this project before, but I found this on Pinterest which led me here and I made my own version!

I added lots of shades of blues, some green and a splash of pink all on a brown background. I used scrapbook paper, but I think it would look great too with fabric (great destashing project!).   I tried to Mod Podge the petals onto the canvas but it didn’t stick too well, so I used craft glue.  I did use the Mod Podge to coat it all when I was done...there were spots of craft glue which were obvious.

Anyway, I only have one problem now…where to hang it!

    I hope your shoulder is getting better!

    This is a great way to make coordinating art on a dime. I really love the canvas idea but I think the same flower/paper scraps technique could be easily framed or decoupaged onto wood- oh the possibilities! Imagine decorating a book cover this way with scraps from graduation cards , as a going away to college keepsake? If you're not too busy, I'd love if you would come link up to Sweet Sharing Monday! http://saynotsweetanne.com/2012/sweet-sharing-monday-2/

    A gorgeous work of art. Such a wonderful idea. I love all the colors and how they work together. When I saw the thumbnail of this, I did think it was fabric. And, you're right, this would be a great way for me to make good use of my millions of fabric scraps. Thanks for sharing.
