Classroom decor ~ Felt Boho Rainbow Wall Hanging

 Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. I have another classroom decor item to share today. I am adding boho rainbow decor item to the room and I wanted to make some impact. This wall hanging will be near the front entrance of my classroom. I used the same cut file from my previous project and used it to cut felt on my Silhouette cameo 3.

I selected some thin felt and applied Heat n Seal on the back using a hot iron. Once this had cooled I transfered this onto a cutting mat. I used  Cricut fabric grip mat instead of a Silhouette cuttng mat. I also changed my blade to a deep cut blade as well.

My settings to cut the felt are blade 20  speed 3 force 33 passes 2.

This was the first time that I had cut felt using my Silhouette and it worked. I had thick felt (pink) and it didn't work on my Silhoutte, however I have my die cutting dies, so I used my die cutting machine and a Spellbinders heart die and die cut it out.

For the rest, I used heat transfer vinyl and a cricut heat press and adhered everything onto my fabric.

Can't wait to place this in my room!

Have a great day.

Classroom Decor ~ Boho Rainbow Welcome Sign

Hello everyone! I hope that you are enjoying your day. I have another classroom decor item to share. This item was created using a wooden a-frame from Kmart. Firstly, I applied a coat of spray sealer over the front of the frame and let it air dry. 

I purchased the Boho Rainbow Bundle by Sharp SVG from the Hungry JPEG and selected some permanent vinyl from my stash. I have a Silhouette cameo 3 and it still works like a charm!

I used the font Allspice in Silhouette studio to create my greeting.

This was very easy to create, and the bundle from the Hungry Jpeg is easy to use in Silhouette Studio.

Classroom Decor ~ Boho Rainbow

Hello everyone. I hope that you are having a good day. I have decided that it is time to redecorate my classroom and I have decided that my new theme will be the Boho Rainbow. I looked at several ideas on pinterest and have been shopping at Kmart and Spotlight to gather supplies.

To alter my rainbow, I applied one layer of gesso and let it air dry. Then I selected some paint and used blue painters tape to tape of each area as I applied each colour with a paintbrush.

Once everything had dried, I used macrame cord to tie my cords to the base of the frame. I used a cord and beads to create a hanger at the top. Everything was purchased from Kmart (the paint I had in my stash).

Supplies:

plywood rainbow

macrame cord

wooden beads

cord

Monte Marte studio acryclic paint set 18 x 36mL paint

liquitex white gesso

Cross Stitch Pillows

 

Happy New Year! I hope that you have been safe and well and have enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones. It has been a very long time since I have shared anything crafty with you. Teaching during a pandemic has been the most challenging experience I have been through to this point. Words cannot describe my new 'teacher tired' that I have been experiencing from the end of 2021. 

I have been crafting small projects in the background, and have taken up old crafts that I haven't worked on for a long time. I have been doing some cross stitch and quilting, cut back on scrapbooking and card making temporarily but did make Christmas cards at the very last minute. I just haven't had the time and quite frankly, my mojo left the building.

I have made two cross stitch pillows, following the patterns from Lori Holt's stitch cards.  These projects are very portable and fun to make. I followed Lori's construction on her Youtube channel.

Instead of using felt on the back (which Lori Holt uses), I used some adhesive lace flowers from my stash. I adhered it to my pillow back using hot glue.

Supplies:

Lori Holts stitch card Set A and I, Aida 14 count rustico, called for DMC thread, white adhesive lace trim, fabric from my stash and polyester filling.

 

Stay safe and well.
