DIY Wall Art

I’m currently making an eclectic wall of art for the kiddo’s room. Here’s the newest addition. {p.s. I love my latest Salvation Army find, an antique chalkboard tablet for $0.97!}

The how-to:

1. Using a die-cut machine, cut these lace doilies from cardboard

(I used the cardboard tube from some old wrapping paper).

Nesting Lace Doilies

2. I cut 3 big and 5 medium. The amount needed will differ based on the desired size.

3. Glue scrapbook paper to a canvas. I don’t like Mod Podge, so I opt for plain ol’ Elmers glue.

4. Cut all your circles in half.

5. Cut more than half-way up the halved circle.

6. Glue the two side together. I used hot-glue. I don’t like waiting for things to dry.

7. Hot glue a strip across (shown in black) the back of the newly created piece.

8. Place your big circles onto your canvas, creating a circle. Continue adding more until your space is small enough for a basic rosette. Hot glue the rosette on and done!

If you decided to purchase the lace doilies, you can get 20% off using the code “create”.

Have a great day!
