Hi there! I LOVED the acrylic page in the kit this month and wanted to figure out something to do with it. I decided to make a sweet little door hanger to hang on our back door during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Now, unfortunately, I usually do my creating in the wee hours of the morning, so I didn’t get good pictures of the steps of this project, but I have included detailed instructions if you’d like to make one yourself. This is what you need to do.

1) Begin by painting the edges of your acrylic page with white acrylic paint. I used a paintbrush to get into the nooks and crannies. Allow to dry completely.

2) Cut a 4.25″ circle of the Graphic 45 – Domestic Goddess “Happy Homemaker” paper. Cut and adhere a 1.25″ strip of Webster’s Pages -Nature’s Storybook “Violette Wings” to the center of the circle. Adhere to the BACK of your acrylic page.

3) Next cut out and adhere the transparency with the dark red, flourish border and the blue birds. Adhere to the FRONT of the acrylic page centering it top-to-bottom and side-to-side.

4) Choose several paper flowers (I shimmered mine up a bit with Gold Glimmer Blingz by Shimmerz) from the kit, layering them together and securing with a brad. Glue the paper flowers to the red felt flower from the kit. Glue to the center of your project. Add two paper leaves to either side of the flower.

5) Use the My Little Shoebox letter stickers to create your sentiment. I adhered the word “Give” straight along the top, and then curved the word “Thanks” underneath.

6) Thread the lace trim through the top of the acrylic page to create the door hanger. Cut a length of the green leaf trim and add it to the lace trim before tying a knot.

7) Attach a smaller red felt flower to the center of the knot with another brad.

What you need for this workshop:
October kit
Dark mist
Decorative scissors
Sewing machine

First cut strips of paper that you like about 1 inch wide and then cut on one of the sides with your decorative scissors

Then I misted the background to make it a little darker:

Next I adhered the rest of my papers down and my picture down making sure I left enough room around the picture and the edges of my LO for the border….then I started sewing the paper down and ripping off pieces as I went…

And this is the finished LO:

I hope you try this fun and easy technique!!!!
