Faux Sew Love

Better late than never here are a few more Valentine's Day 2012 projects that I finished this February (before the 14th if you can believe it!)  The first is a little wall hanging for Emma's room, I have a reversible one that is on her bedroom door from Halloween- Christmas, when it came down this year she requested a new one.  I used one of the 5x7 flat backed canvases from my previous post, covered it with a sewing pattern and mod podge, punched with an awl around the edge, faux stitched with a marker, then embellished with ribbon, chipboard letters and buttons, and topped with a felt hand stitched heart.The second project is a love banner I created by covering 4 scalloped chipboard pieces found at the $1 spot at Michaels with a sewing pattern, sealed with Matte Mod Podge, faux stiched with a sharpie around the edges then embellished with buttons, ribbons, paper tape, and hearts.  The O and E are on top of 4x6 overlays from My Mind's Eye.  At this point I think I have a banner for almost every major holiday- I think the next one better be a birthday banner (luckily that won't take too long, I have the pennants covered with paper, I just need to add the letters.)  And after misplacing my Halloween banner for over 2 years I have started a banner box so I have a central place to pack and store them away after each holiday.
