Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello friends! It's Jennifer on the blog to share a home decor project I  created using one of the new Mini Shaker Shapes! The Gnome Mini Shaker is probably one of the cutest (and most popular) that I've seen so far!  I  decided to pair it with the House Medium DIY Pallet Shape to make a fun wall hanging. 

Beginning with the House Medium DIY Pallet Shape, I  used brown acrylic paint and applied with baby wipes. Your end effect will look as if you've used wood stain!  I    applied my paint directly to the pallet and wiped across with the baby wipe. 

I  set aside my pallet to work on my Gnome Mini Shaker.  I  wanted to add different patterns to the base chipboard so I  applied each in layers.  I  began at the bottom using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive cutting away excess paper with my x-acto knife. 

I  also used my sanding tool to smooth any edges as well. 

I  adhered my two chipboard frames together and adhered to the base chipboard before adding my sequins. Next, I  affixed my acrylic followed by the top chipboard frame. 

Here is a close up of the finished Gnome Mini Shaker! I  added a small chipboard heart to his hat as well as used brown chalk ink around the edges. 

Using my Silhouette, I  used coordinating prints to cut a wreath as well as my title "Gnome Sweet Gnome". Again, I   adhered all using my Beacon Adhesive. 

Lastly, I  punched holes at the top of my pallet to thread ribbon through to hang my creation!
