Make a Wish – An Altered Hoop Step by Step Tutorial

Hello Friends,  It’s Bela Shah here, and I’m super happy and excited to be sharing my very first Little Birdie Crafts Design Team Project with you today!

I have always loved doing altered projects and altering a hoop was on my mind since a long time and when I saw Little Birdie flowers in my DT kit, I thought this would be the perfect project to share with you all.

For this altered project, I took three different sized hoop rings and applied gesso on all to prime them. I added Little Birdie Fiber paste for the texture to add interest to otherwise a plain hoop. Sprayed it with Hot Pink color splash. I simply adore the Little Birdie sprays.

After that I traced the ring and cut 300 GSM cardstock for all the three rings as per their size and distressed the edges with brown distress oxide and  adhered it on the loop from back.

I also cut three circles from three different pattern paper from the 12″x 12 ” Watercolor Floral Ballet Paper Pack and distressed the edges with scissors and added brown distress oxides to the edges. To give it more dimension I sprayed some water on the edges and curled them on all three of them.

This is how your ring will look after the process. I chose a beautiful picture of a baby girl in 2 different poses as my focal point. I adhered it on a photo mat and distressed the edges . To give a beautiful shabby chic style I used laces from my stash and colored Little Biride Cheese Cloth with Lime Splash Color Spray for extra texture and added them behind the photo for big and medium sized rings.

After all the three hoops were ready, I adhered them using silicon glue, one below the center hoop and the smallest above it. Now it was time to embellish the project with beautiful flowers. I used Margerry Pearl Pink box flowers to enhance mine , added some foliage around and to add more to the shabby chic look I used tissue ribbons in white color behind the flowers.

Now it was time to add sentiment to the project. I used “Make a Wish” chipboard from on the Birthday Wish and splashed it with hot pink color splash directly as these chipboards are already primed and added it on the smallest ring.

You can use this Beautiful shabby chic altered hoop as a Home Décor or gift it to someone and bring a smile to everyone’s face.

I absolutely enjoyed making this one and I have shared easy step by step procedure . I hope this post is creatively inspiring for you all .

Thank you for joining me .

Love & Hugs,

Bela
