Well thisstencilled succulent hoop artis a great DIY alternative.
Beautiful Succulent Embroidery Hoop Art (without the Embroidery!)
Weve held on to these wooden embroidery hoops in case we ever decided to pick up the craft again.
Now a days, these embroidery hoop double as adorable frames for displaying art on your walls.
Painting the succulents directly onto canvas using a stencil means anyone can be an artist!
Were partnering withCanvas Etc.once again and using their linen art canvas for this wall hoop art.
My inspiration for the paint colors were the soft,muted colors of these felt succulents.
I say most because this is a linen art canvas so some wrinkles are inevitable.
Using a pencil, trace the outer edge of the embroidery hoops.
This solid line will mark the area to paint within.
With a pair of fabric scissors, cut out the circles 1 away from the pencil marks.
Continue tracing the other stencil shapes around the first succulent, adding foliage shapes around the outer edges.
Repeat this with the other two canvas circles by choosing which shapes to place on each.
Protect your work surface with a sheet of paper.
Place one of the prepared stencilled circles on your work surface.
Using a small flat tip paint brush, paint inside all the larger stencilled areas.
Its best to use a thin coat of paint so that the canvas texture is still visible.
Repeat with the pink succulents.
And then repeat with the blue succulents.
And lastly, paint all the foliage using Avocado acrylic paint on its own without lightening.
Leave the paint to dry fully before proceeding.
Once dry, insert the painted canvas circles into the embroidery hoops.
Fold in the outer cut edges and glue in place so edges are not visible from the front.
Hang on your wall to enjoy!
Im so happy with how these hoop art pieces turned out!
It felt a lot like some paint-by-number kits I used to do as a child.
Thelinen canvaswas just the perfect backdrop for the paint and design.
