Home Sweet Home Standee Tutorial

From –Piradee Talvanna

Hi Everyone, I’ve got a fun and simple home decor project to share with you guys today – a little something I created using the gorgeous Time For Spring collection, for my “somewhat-new” apartment (although we moved in about 2.5 months ago, I just finished unpacking my last box yesterday. YES finally!!!)

Fancy Pants Designs Supplies:

Time For Spring: Spring Floral Pattern Paper

Time For Spring: Tip Me Over Pattern Paper

Time For Spring: Honeycomb Pattern Paper

Time For Spring: Alpha Stickers

Time For Spring: Die Cuts

Childish Things: Trims

Assorted Buttons

Other Supplies:

Cardstock (brown)

Chipboard

Chipboard Alphabets

Mist (to be used on the alphabets)

White Paint

Instructions:

1. Once you have gathered all the supplies that you might need, then depending on the size of chipboard that you have, you’ll need to cut them into 4 rectangular cards (mine are 4″x6″); that will be used as the backing for each of the cards.

2. Then in putting together the cards, I first started by adhering a dark brown cardstock onto one of the chipboard sides, in order to create that outline look when I later adhere the red grid pattern paper. Then cutting out various hexagon designs and flowers from the other two pattern papers (along with tons of foam dots), I layered the elements onto the cards leaving space in the middle for the alphabets/letters.

3. Next using the widest ribbon from the childish things trim set, I adhere the ribbon onto the backside of the cards leaving a bit of space between each of cards. Do make sure that you use super duper glue/adhesive and that the trim is adhere fully to the cards (this will make it more sturdy when you display the cards).

4. Then after selecting the chipboard letters that I need and with a coat of blue mist, I adhered the letters onto the cards using foam dots (to add more dimension to the project).

5. And to create that shabby chic feel, I lightly brushed white paint over some the elements and also certain areas of the pattern paper. I used a dry paint brush, so that you would get a more streaky look and feel.

6. Finally, I added some buttons here and there and used the Time For Spring alphabet stickers to completed my title for this little Home Sweet Home decor piece.
