CHRISTMAS GIFT TAGS - FREE PRINTABLE

I've been super busy this week trying to organise Christmas as well as doing some DIY ( see yesterdays post ) . In my researching for FREE PRINTABLE FRIDAY , I came across these Christmas Tag Printables from the talented Sarah of TOMFO .

Christmas wrap doesn't have to be about lots of presents wrapped in $2 Warehouse paper . Its should be about handmade , wrapped with love and cost effective .

DIY HOOP WALL ART

MOUNTAIN RANGE HOOP WALL ART

You will need ::
-  embroidery hoop ( 20 cm diameter )
-  30 x 30 cm fabric of your choice
-  tailors chalk or fabric pen to draw your design
-  cotton thread or embroidery thread
-  needle
-  fabric scissors

Time ::
Can take a few hours depending on how well you can hand stitch and how many mistakes you make ( I made a few haha ) .

Cost ::
Between $20 - $30 . It depends on the hoop and the fabric you choose .

Instructions ::

1.    Open up your embriodery hoop and place fabric over smaller hoop . Place the larger hoop over the fabric covered smaller hoop and tighten . Making sure the fabric is pulled towards the outer edges so it doesn't sag in the middle . Be carfeul not to stretch the fabric too tight .

2.    Draw your design on the fabric . You really can choose anything . Have a look on Pinterest for inspiration .

3.    Once you are happy with your design , you can start hand stitching over it . Changing the stitching lengths throughout your design to keep it interesting .

4.     Keep going until your design is finished then cut off excess fabric at the back . Or if you can finish it off like this .

OH , THE PLACES YOU'LL GO . .

I'm always on the lookout for wall art . It can transform a room and turn your house into a home . 

The main problem I am having with wall art is I don't know exactly what I want . The dilemma !!

In saying that , I have been dabbling in making my own . 

A ) It's cost effective , B ) If I get bored and change my mind ( it happens a lot ! ) and C ) I love creating ! 

One of these pieces is heading straight for my bedroom .

This week I got my inspiration from the wise Dr. Suess .

HELLO BROTHER BEAR

Woodland creatures are all the rage in home decor at the moment. From bears to foxes and owls, there are so many ways these forest critters are creeping into our homes.
These cuddly looking fellows will look great in your little adventurers room. 
I am loving the illustration and pen lines in these printables - simple yet effective.

Enjoy !!
