Home Decor with Helmar

Hello fellow crafters, Cathy here to share my Home decor project using Helmar adhesives.

I do not know about you but where I come from, we have had a whole lot of snow, so I decided I need a diversion, so figured I would do an Easter/Spring decor project..

first, I acquired 3 pieces of pine wood, one at 2x4x8 and 2 @ 2x4 x6.  I sanded them...

Then I purchased some white chalk paint, and gave each of them 3 coats of paint,

Then I took 3 coordinating scraps of cloth in bright spring colors and cut them out into bunny ear shapes and pressed them.

                                then I tied each of the fabric ears into aow in the middle

My next step I took thin floral wire and wrapped it around a pencil several time and then trimmed off.

I made several "loopy" wires.

With a couple of them I tird them around the ears to make hair for the bunnies...

For noses, I took some wooden hearts I got for Christmas and painted then light pink/

I wanted the ears to have a little stiffness, so I used my HelmarFabric Stiffner

I poured a little in a paper plate and brushed it on the backside of each ear and then ...

Draped them over bottle to dry.

I used my one inch paper punch and punched out enough circles to make 3 for each eye so they would be thick. and used Helmar Craft glue to hold them together.

Next I put down some small globs of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to hold the eyes on the boards..it is just like using a glue gun without the burn...

I now want something thick to be able to hold my wire whiskers and the wooden heart nose and the ears and hair on top,..and what better to do that than the Helmar Scrap Dots

and Voila!! the finished Bunnies!!

Home Decor with Helmar adhesives

Hi friends..Cathy here today posting for Helmar.  Today's project is some home decor.  I picked up a grapevine wreath and decided to make something for a door for either Memorial Day or the Fourth of July.  

I decided to make my own paper flowers instead of getting store bought ones, so I opened up my Cricut and got to work.  

I cut out a bunch of daisies in subtle different sizes so I could stagger them in layers to create 3D effect.

I then cut 4 of the 12 by 2 inch strips of light gray card stock and scored every 1/2 inch and then mountain valley folded them and made rosettes.

I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to hold the ends together.

I inked and shaped the flowers with Tim Holtz Distress inks and then glued together with Helmar Premium Craft Glue.

to give the rosette layers a little more dimension, I added Scrap Dots..it is like pop dots in a tube. such an awesome product..dries in the shape you put it. you need to get some if you do not own it al ready!!

Now to put it all together....not wanting to use a glue gun like I have done in the past.  I always seem to burn my fingers!! So I used the Helmar 450 craft glue..amazing stuff. takes a little longer to set, but holds amazingly..Unofficially hot glue in a bottle!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Helmar craft project today and I hope it inspires you to get some Helmar Adhesives of your own.

Happy Crafting!!
