The cooler seasons, for many, are just a couple of months away which means Fall decorating at our house will begin in earnest before I know it. My project is a mini-wreath that can be used to adorn a mantel or window from Fall to Christmas and those holiday celebrations in between!
Spellbinders™ Paper Arts Supplies include:
Cross Promotional Partners:
Other:
ribbon, buttons, styrofoam wreath.
Cut the flower shapes from black cardstock and patterned paper using the two smaller die templates from the Anemone Flower Topper set. The size of the wreath will determine how many flowers to cut. For my 6"(15cm) wreath I cut 5 black and 5 patterned flower shapes. Fold the petals in desired directions to achieve different dimensional flowers.
Tip
To save time, Spellbinders die templates allow you to cut multiple shapes simultaneously using the same die template. I was able to layer two sheets of cardstock and two sheets of patterned paper over each die template and cut the shape with one pass through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur machine. The success of this method will depend on the weight of the cardstock and the intricacy of the die template.
To assemble my flower I adhered two layers of foam squares to the black flower (this gave my flower added height and dimension). After adding the smaller flower to the base flower I adhered a decorative button using Glue Dots.
After wrapping the styrofoam wreath with ribbon I tied a decorative bow to the top of my wreath. Cut/emboss green leaves from the Foliage set. Adhere the leaves to the project with Glue Dots. To complete my project I adhered the Anemone flower embellishment to my wreath.
Spellbinders Design Team member, Christine Emberson created this beautiful layout celebrating Autumn.
I love the way the leaves from the Foliage set gently frame her picture and how they flutter up as butterflies - so clever! For details on how Christine created her layout please visit the gallery project titled: Autumn
I hope you have fun creating beautiful decor items for your home. Thank you for spending part of your day with us.
