Easy Fall Felt Hoop Art {Guest Post}

September 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I love fall! After spending a week at the beach, I am looking forward to cooler temperatures and all things fall! Today’s guest post is all about getting ready for fall with a super fun craft: fall felt hoop art!

*****************************************************

I’m so excited to be guest posting for Shannah! My name is Albion, but most people call me Abby and I blog at Albion Gould. I have four young daughters, so I enjoy projects that don’t take a lot of time or can be done in bits and pieces. In that vein, I’m sharing an easy fall felt hoop art craft with you today.

Easy Fall Felt Hoop Art

Fall is my favorite season and if I could live in a world where it’s fall year round, I would. I love seeing the leaves start to change colors and there’s nothing better than that fall wind with them swirling around. I tried to create hoop art to reflect that.

For this craft, you’ll need:

  • felt in fall colors
  • hoops
  • needle & thread
  • scissors/cutting machine/leaf templates

felt and hoops

Start by putting your base colors of felt in the hoops. Trim the excess felt.

I used my Cricut Explore to cut out my leaves. I ironed on interfacing to the felt, loaded it into the Cricut, and cut out all the leaves I wanted.

When you have your pile of leaves, start arranging them how you want. I imagined a breeze coming from one direction and swooping them across the hoops. Once they’re placed where you want, stitch each leaf onto the hoop. I used two cross stitch stitches on each leaf.

You’re ready to hang your hoops! We have a corner that never got decorated properly, so we use it for seasonal decorations. I had some extra leaves and let the girls stick them on the wall with some painter’s tape (kids and stickers, right?!).

I hope you enjoyed this easy fall felt hoop art craft! I’d love for you to come over and check out some of my other recent projects, like my Felt Fascinator, Coffee Love Mug, and Fall Candle Centerpiece.

Thanks so much for having me, Shannah!

3D Pumpkin Art

October 21, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Styrofoam pumpkins and gourds make awesome decorating tools because they are so versatile and last forever.   Buy a couple of bags during the craft store sale and you will literally have pumpkins for years.  Recently, I had some leftover from my fall burlap baskets project and decided to create 3D pumpkin art with them to display in the house.Front view of 3D art_wm

25 Amazing Pumpkin Crafts

October 8, 2013 By Shannah Coe 29 Comments

Starting in September, pumpkins explode on the scene.  There is pumpkin food {examples here and here} and tons of pumpkin crafts.  I don’t think any other item says fall quite like a pumpkin…well, except maybe a leaf.  BUT, pumpkins are way more fun to craft with.  You can spend hours looking around the web at different ways to decorate a pumpkin, make something into a pumpkin or sew a pumpkin.  I’ve spent all that time searching for you though and gathered 25 amazing pumpkin crafts.Pumpkin Crafts Collage

Mini Burlap Wreath for Fall

October 8, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

What do you do when you are decorating for fall and your mantel is just missing something.  There is a giant space in the middle of your favorite mirror and you have nothing on hand that works right.  Go shopping?  Well, that would be my first inclination too BUT I had a sleeping three year old and no parental back up…oh, and an overwhelming need to get this done now!  So, I ran down to my craft area and gathered up a few random supplies to throw together a mini burlap wreath for fall.Burlap Wreath on Mirror with label_wm …

Fall Burlap Baskets

September 16, 2013 By Shannah Coe 31 Comments

You know when you have one of those weeks where all the days are jumbled and you just can’t get a grip on your schedule?  Yeah…every week in September has seriously been like that for me.  So much so that this post for fall burlap baskets almost didn’t happen {it is happening late but at least happening}.  I had bought all of the supplies but just couldn’t find the time to sit down and work on them…much less photograph them!  Thankfully, I snagged a few hours to work on some projects this past weekend and the baskets came together.Fall Baskets with labels

A Not So New Fall Wreath

November 20, 2012 By Shannah 1 Comment

Ok, my dear friends…I have a confession: I fell way behind on my craft plans {thanks to a certain house renovation project…ahem} and didn’t make a new wreath for fall/Thanksgiving. I know…it gives me the sads too.

Never fear: I’m bringing back a blast from the past and sharing the wreath I made last year for fall. It is, after all, what is living on my front door this year. {A bonus: I took a few more pictures of it with my slightly improved photography skills}
