Wall Art DIY

Today is my first DIY post!

It all started from a decoration I saw hanging from a Christmas tree display in one of my favourite local home ware stores. It gave me the inspiration to create my own to hang on my wall at home.
All you need to create these gorgeous wall arts are:
  • Fabric (the amount will depend on the size of the cross stitch frame)
  • Cross stitch wooden frame - available from most craft stores
  • Scissors
  • String 
  • Nail (To hang)



All you need to do is grab some pieces of fabric. Any type of fabric can be used. I used a cotton.


and some cross stitch frames. I used wooden frames in three different sizes. 


 Iron the fabric so that any fold or creases are flat and place the inside of the frame under the fabric and the top of the frame over the top. Secure the frame by tightening the screw.


Trim the excess fabric from around the edge of the frame


and voila some cute as a button art to brighten your walls this Summer. All I need to do now is decide which wall to put them on!!
