Crab Apple Blossom Art

(Don't forget to link your projects up to my Marvelous Mess party....each week I'll pick one project to feature on my sidebar!!)

So, I've got these great squares of sub-flooring that are the perfect rough canvas for so many projects. Did you happen to see my Cheap Chicks ?? Made on sub flooring. It's just too easy and I love the texture. My latest sub flooring project is this:

A crab apple tree with blossoms. :-) I am in love with blossoming tree's and how they're such a great sign of *warmer weather*. Yippee!! Now, crb apples around here aren't blossoming yet....but soon....I just can't help myself. Want to make this??
Supplies:
Brown Paint
White Paint
Pink Felt
Pink Crepe Paper
Cheese Cloth
Hot Glue
Paintbrushes and Pencil
Piece of Sub Flooring/ Flat Wood
2 Small screw eyes and heavy duty wire hardware
~Water down some white paint and paint the front surface of the wood. Let dry. I gave mine two coats (picture is of 1st).
~Free hand with pencil a sketch of a tree onto the wood. 
~Paint over drawing with brown paint. Let dry.
~Cut out flower shaped pieces of felt.
~Cut out circles of crepe and cheese cloth. 
~Hot glue felt flower into place on branch.  Then, hot glue cheese cloth on top of it.

~Finally scrunch up circle of crepe paper and use a dab of hot glue to secure it to the middle of the flower. 
~Once everything is cool....attach the screw eyes and wire to the back of wood so you can place it on the wall. 

~Enjoy your blossoms!! 
Yay!! This project was featured on Under the Table and Dreaming!!!!

    I am really happy that, in my quest for unusual Men's Gifts, I came onto the Rex London Fish Pocket Knife Keyring. Decorative and functional, this keychain is the perfect complement to any keychain collection. Distinct from the typical keychain, this one has a fish-shaped grip for added charm. To top it all off, it has a pocket knife already attached, so you'll be ready for any emergency that may arise. Undoubtedly, it is a present that blends elegance, practicality, and an air of adventure.
