GREAT OUTDOORS FALL WALL HANGING | with Wanda

Hi Doodlebug Friends! Happy Thanksgiving Week! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday together! Today I'm sharing a Fall themed project made with the awesome Great Outdoors Collection! Fall is my favorite season and I try to make it last as long as possible. We decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. Until then, it's Fall at my house! Today's project is a wall hanging I made as a décor piece for the house. I modeled it after a 12x12 Scrapbook page and it would make a great scrapbook page too! Just add a few photos!

I started the project by gluing a sheet of yellow buffalo check paper to a piece of chipboard. I used the Great Outdoors 6x6 paper pad to punch out a bunch of 2" circles. I adore all the fall colors and patterns in this paper pad. The circles were hand folded into the shapes for the finished project. I used a cardstock square to fold the circles up. 

Once the circles were all folded, I centered them onto the middle of the large paper and glued them down using clear liquid glue. After all the circles were attached I splashed on some white paint for visual interest. My focal point is that adorable little squirrel! I die cut a white piece of cardstock and then used the Bon Bon Abigail Stickers to write Happy Fall. A few leaves add more accents. I also used a few Bon Bon mini doilies.

 I attached pretty Doodlebug Buttons and hears and other embellishments to some of the circles. I really like that pop of teal blue with all those warm colors.

 

My work in progress! Circles punched out and folded - so easy - but such an impact visually.

 

 

Happy Fall! 

Take care until I see you right back here - and happy crafting!

WINTER WONDERLAND WALL HANGING | with Traci

Sometimes when I see a new product I get an idea for using it right away.  That's what happened when I saw the acetate snowflakes in the Winter Wonderland Odds & Ends.  I just thought they would be so pretty hanging down from a wall or mobile!

To make this wall hanging, which I also think will be pretty in front of a window, I laid out all of the acetate snowflakes on my craft table first.  This helped with picking sizes and colors.  Then I used a 1/16" hole punch to punch two tiny holes in each piece.  

I used fishing line to string the snowflakes and added a Doodlebug jewel to the front and back of each one.

I added a few snowman sprinkles here and there, and weighted the bottom of the fishing line with two large jewels back to back.

Finally, I added washi tape, die cuts, and ribbon to a thin piece of wood, and hung each strand of snowflakes across the back. 

It really looks so pretty hanging over my corner desk in my craft room, but would also be great in front of a window!  Another idea would be to hang the strands around a decorated embroidery hoop!  Thanks for checking in today, and hopefully I've given you another idea for using these beautiful acetate snowflakes and jewels!
