Hi
everyone, today I’m sharing a home decor piece that was created using the
beautiful September Main Kit.
It
has been a while since I have cross stitched, so when I saw all the home sweet
home references in this months kit, the elements gave me the idea to create an
embroidery hoop decor piece.
I painted an 8” embroidery hoop using this beautiful color called
catching rays by Art minds. Once the paint was completely dry I sanded the hoop
with my Dremel tool to remove some of the paint and added metallic wax in rose
gold which gives the hoop a vintage look which I love.
Using
my Cricut I cut out the word home twice, one of the words included in this
months cut file.
I
choose 4 of the patterned papers from the kit which I fussy cut to back the cut
file letters.
The
floral and stem pieces are from the ephemera included in the kit. I positioned
the pieces to curve around the hoop, tacked them together with a little tape,
and ran them through my sewing machine stitching them together using white
thread.
For
the word sweet, I used a pencil and hand wrote the word sweet lightly in the
middle, then hand stitched it in a mustard color floss, For dimension, 3D foam
squares were added to the back of both of the words home and I placed them
above and directly below sweet.
The
flowers around the hoop were attached using hot glue, and the house sticker was
backed with ¼” thick foam then hot glued to the bottom right of the hoop
between the flower clusters. I also added some of the gold leaf ephemera behind
the flower clusters.
Here
is the finished piece which has now found a home on my dining room wall.
Thanks

kits that are available this month!!! Happy Scrapping!!!
