Summer Flower Front Door

Today I have this project being featured over at Singing Three Little Birds blog, she is having a Flower Week with a lot of amazing projects...go check it out!

I was needing a summer look on our front door, I really love how it turned out!

My new favorite item to work with right at the moment is Canvas!!

TUTORIAL:

I first cut out a piece of canvas that I bought off a bolt at Hobby Lobby and applied Gesso primer on it.

Then I used the Quatrefoil stencil from Tatertots and Jello...thanks Jen for sharing it!! {click here for link}

I used Americana Paint {White Wash}& Apple Barrel {Caribbean Blue} paints.

I made a stencil of a large and small petal

{If you want the template of the petals I did,

leave me a comment with your email and I will send it to you!}. 

Then I gathered the base and used hot glue to keep the shape.

I cut 5" circle of foam core and felt {not perfect}.  Then I punched a hole in the middle for the knob screw to come through to hold the finish flower together.  Hot glue the petals around and layer the small petals on top.

I cut out about 5 circles in different sizes...not perfect again and put it in the middle.

This is a close-up picture of the finished look.  I just bought the glass knob at Lowes and added a little bling to the middle.  With scrap painted canvas, I made a little tag with rub-on letters.  I love the word BLOOM!!

This is a back side, just in case you were needing a peek!

It is a pretty bright flower, especially from the road.  But, everytime I am coming and going from my house...it makes me SMILE!!

You can really do this project in all different sizes! 

I know that I will be doing a lot more with painted canvas this summer!

Enjoy!
