Hey Southern Ridge Trading Company fans, Katelyn here. It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 20 days away and it's time for me to start decorating my house for Christmas. For today's post, I've created this Joy Christmas Wall Hanging perfect to add to my Christmas decor, which features a variety of our popular wood and chipboard Christmas pieces. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my wall hanging at home.
To start, you'll need the Ornate Rectangle Frame. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to the frame. Sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.
Next, you'll need four of the Snowflakes 714. Apply a coat of Emboss It Ink to all four snowflakes. Sprinkle Glacier White Embossing Powder over the entire surface of all four snowflakes. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.
Choose a Christmas sentiment from any of our Christmas sayings. Apply two coats of Fired Brick Distress Spray Stain over the word. Once dry, apply a coat of Brushed Pewter Distress Stain overtop of the word.
Next, you'll need the Pine Branch. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress Ink over the entire surface of the pine branch.
The next chipboard piece you need is the Primitive Star. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Ground Espresso Distress Ink over the entire surface of the star.
From the Ribbon Bows, you'll need to choose one of them. Apply two coats of Candied Apple Distress Stain to the bow. Ink the edges of the bow using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
The last chipboard element you'll need is one of the extra pages from the Plain Chipboard Album. Ink the edges of the album using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
The next two steps are using Pion's Let's Be Jolly paper. From the Christmas Memories paper, cut the child image out to 2" x 3 3/8". Distress the edges. Ink the edges of the image using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose three of the patterned papers from the Let's Be Jolly Paper. Cut patterned paper one down to 3 7/8" x 7 3/4". Cut patterned paper two down to 3 5/8" x 7 1/2". Cut patterned paper three down to 3 3/8" x 7 1/4". Distress the edges of all of the papers. Ink the edges of all of the papers using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Adhere the 3 3/8" patterned paper to the 3 5/8" patterned paper. Adhere the 3 5/8" patterned paper to the 3 7/8" patterned paper. Adhere the 3 7/8" patterned paper to the chipboard album page.
Adhere the star to the middle of the 3 3/8" patterned paper. Adhere the frame to the image. Adhere one of the snowflakes to the backside of the top left corner of the frame. Adhere a second snowflake to the backside of the bottom right corner of the frame. Foam square the frame to the middle of the star.
Adhere the third snowflake to the top left corner of the frame. Make sure that you can see a bit of the bottom snowflake. Adhere the fourth snowflake to the bottom right corner of the frame. Make sure that you can see a bit of the bottom snowflake. Foam square the ribbon to the top of the frame.
Adhere the pine branch on the bottom right side of the frame. Adhere the sentiment to the bottom of the frame.
In the bottom right hand corner of the frame, adhere three white roses, three red roses, one brown roses and three greenery pieces.
In the bottom left hand corner of the frame, adhere one red rose and two white roses.
In the top left hand corner of the frame, adhere five white roses, three red roses, one brown rose and three greenery pieces.
To finish off your wall hanging, punch two holes at the top. Thread brown ribbon through the holes to create hanging part of the wall hanging.
Here are a few closeup photos of the finished wall hanging.
