Hi! I'm sharing how to create a patriotic embroidery hoop shaker wreath for
Clearsnap today. Adding color and pattern to wood and canvas is easy with the range of ColorBox Ink and Art Screens. Proudly display this festive wreath with red, white, and blue sequins and felt flowers, all Summer long!
Use a paintbrush to apply Stop Blends 2 Ink to a wood embroidery hoop. Let dry.
Place the Stars Art Screen over a canvas star. Use an Art Dauber to apply the dark blue pigment ink from the Taos Pigment Petal Point over the screen. Remove the screen and let dry. Place the Stripes Art Screen over two canvas stars. Use an Art Dauber to apply the dark red pigment ink from the Taos Pigment Petal Point over the screen. Remove the screen and let dry.
Use a paintbrush to apply Coconut Blends 2 Ink to wood veneer letters. Sprinkle the letters with White Embossing Powder and apply heat to set.
Assemble the canvas star embellishments for the wreath. Arrange the stars in a stars, stripes, stripes order on the work surface. Glue the embossed wood letters to the stars to spell USA. Glue a blue sequin star to top of the star patterned canvas star. Glue red striped bows to tops of the stripes patterned canvas stars.
Lay the inner embroidery hoop on the work surface. Cover the hoop with white tulle. Sprinkle red, white, blue, and silver star and dot sequins over the tulle. Apply a second piece of white tulle over the first, covering the sequins. Place the top embroidery hoop over the tulle and tighten to seal. Use scissors to trim away the excess tulle from the edge of the embroidery hoop.
Use hot glue to attach the stars to the top of the embroidery hoop. Glue red, white, and blue felt and burlap flowers onto the bottom of the embroidery hoop.
