Let’s see what’s in my Annie’s Farmhouse Style Kit Club shipment!
The kit was shipped in a padded envelope with a blue and white floral design.
The contents of the envelope! — This month’s project was “Floral Hoop Art“.
A full color insert provided step-by-step instructions with helpful hints and photos to go along with each step.
Supplies included multiple sheets of felt in various colors, 2 wooden embroidery hoops, embroidery floss, a needle, thread, and a pattern sheet.
I began by laying out all of my supplies on the kitchen island.
The first step was to secure one of the large black felt sheets into the larger wooden hoop. — The project included enough supplies to make two completed pieces (one small & one larger), but I just made the larger one for this review.
Next, I had to cut various “leaves” out of the green felt. There was no specified amount, so I just went with 8 to start.
The project featured 3 different flower designs, shown below.
Looped Mum:
For the looped mum, the first step was to cut a 2 x 12 inch strip of felt in any color you’d like.
Next, fold the felt in half width-wise and secure with hot glue.
Once secured, cut along the folded edge every 1/8 to 3/8 inches — stopping before you reach the glued portion.
Then simply roll up the strip and secure the end with more hot glue.
Done!
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this was, yet how cute the result turned out.
Rosette:
For the rosettes, I started by cutting out a 6-inch circle from the white felt. (Two are shown, but only one is needed per flower.)
Next, I cut the circle into a spiral as shown above.
I forgot to snap a photo, but the rosette was created by rolling up the felt much like the mum. I started at the outer end and simply rolled it up until the flower was formed.
So cute! — The “layers” of the rosette were easily secured by gluing the center of the spiral (end of the rolled part) to its bottom.
Wavy Rosette:
The wavy rosette was created exactly like the “regular” rosette, except that the circle took on a more wavy appearance along the edges.
I forgot to snap a pic here too, but the wavy circle was also cut into a (wavy) spiral and rolled up like the first rosette.
How sweet is that?! 😀
Once I had made enough flowers, I went back and stitched the lines along the hoop using the white embroidery thread.
I also could have opted to stitch some sort of greeting, but I wanted to keep it simple. 😉
Next came the fun part. — Gluing on the flowers!
I arranged things as I went, stopping to glue each one in place.
And here’s the end result! — It turned out SO much better than I expected. 😀 It’s not perfect, but I was very skeptical that I could make it look anything like the photo on the instruction booklet. That said, I totally surprised myself. 😉
Although I originally doubted my ability to complete it, I was pleasantly surprised by how well I did with this Annie’s Farmhouse Style Kit Club project. — It looked SO much more intimidating than it actually was. The flowers were relatively simple to create and turned out really pretty. This is definitely a project I’ll be repeating with my kiddos at some point. 😀 — Remember, for a limited time you can save 50% on your first month with coupon code “SHARE50“!
