DIY Wall Art & Bow Tutorial

Welcome to the Summer of Paper series – where we’ve invited fabulous guests to create projects using supplies from my Home + Made paper decor line.

Hi! I’m Valerie and I’m the creator and author of Occasionally Crafty, where I share my love of simple, beautiful projects with other busy women.  

I’m also a wife and mother, an avid reader, a sometimes crafter, and a lover of all things music. After graduating from BYU with a degree in music education, I moved to Phoenix to teach high school band. I left her teaching career to raise her three kids (currently 10, 8, and 5). My favorite thing to make is anything seasonal/holiday, and I’m happiest when I’m at home with my family, snuggled up with a good book. 
I’m so excited to share how I turned these beautiful scrapbook papers from Jen Hadfield’s new line of materials into a beautiful wreath-inspired DIY Wall Art featuring your favorite photo or quote!

 I absolutely love the papers in this new Jen Hadfield Home+Made pack of papers.  The color combinations are so perfect, and I love the mix of subtle and bold designs.  I am not a scrapper; however, I love to use papers in my home decor projects.

To make this DIY Wall Art, you’ll need the following:

  •  Flat chipboard or cardboard circle (mine is 10 inches)
  • Coordinating scrapbook paper
  • Mod Podge
  • Glue pen or other adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Bow template (download yours here)
  • Twine
  • Quote or photo for center

Directions:

  • Trace your cardboard circle onto desired scrapbook paper, then cut out the paper to fit.
  • Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge onto your circle, and carefully apply your paper to the top.  Smooth out any bubbles and allow to dry.
  • Meanwhile, create your bow(s).  Print out the template and cut the pieces out.  I use cardstock for a more solid template.  Trace the pieces onto your scrapbook paper.  Each bow is made up of one hourglass shaped piece, one tab and two ribbon tail pieces.  You can get 2 bows out of a standard 8.5″x11″ piece of paper.
  • Follow the steps below to create your bow:


1.   Put some glue into the center of the hourglass shaped piece.  Bring one end to middle and press, then bring the other end into the middle, slightly overlapping the first, to make your bow shape.  Secure other end with glue.
2.  Use a paperclip to hold your bow together while the glue dries.

3.  In the meantime, take your tail pieces.  Slightly overlap them and secure with glue.  You can use another paperclip if you need to to hold them together while they dry.

4.  Remove the paperclip from your bow.  Center it on the back side of your tab piece, with the overlapped ends facing up towards you.

     5.  Wrap the ends of the tab piece around the center of your bow, slightly overlapping and  securing with glue.  Hold together with a paperclip while it dries.
     6.  When the bow and tab are dry, place the bow piece on top of your tails.  Secure with glue.
     7.  Hold the entire bow together with a paperclip until the glue is dry
     8.  Set bow(s) aside and return to your circle form.
  • I chose to hang a quote from the center of my circle.  This was one of many sweet quotes on one of the pages included in the paper pack.  They are perfect for this project, or as journaling cards for scrapping or Project Life.
  • Turn your circle form over and attach baker’s twine or ribbon to the back of the circle using hot glue.  Make sure it is pulled taut.
  • While the glue dries, cut out and print your quote (or photo) and get it ready to hang.  I used a mini clothespin to hang it from the twine.
 Attach your cute paper bow(s) as desired).  I layered two different colors.
Now you have the perfect conversation piece to hang on your wall, door, or wherever you want a little bit of cuteness.
Thank you to Jen for the opportunity to post here today!  I hope to get to know you better over on my blog, or you can follow me on social media below.  See you soon!
