I hope you liked the little DIY kit in your December Kit this month. I just love the cute little wooden house.

Today I have a project to share with you using the house and some other pieces from the kit.

I’ve made this really sweet piece of mixed media art that I’ve framed and I now have in my hallway. It’s such a cheery piece and looks very welcoming by my front door.  1

I started off with the pieces from the kit and also a 5×5” frame that I bought in Wilkos.

2

I removed the glass from the frame and used this as a template to draw around so that the book paper was the correct size to fit the frame.

The glass then gets carefully thrown away.

3

I’ve trimmed the book paper and stuck the doilee in the centre.

4

I’ve painted the top half in blue water colour paints and the bottom half in green. Going over the doilee too, but not completely to the sides of the paper.

5

And then it’s left to dry.

6

I used a sunshine stencil and a yellow mist on the righthand corner . You could also paint or draw a yellow sun. Or even cut one with the yellow paper from the kit.

7

I’ve stuck the wooden house in the centre and painted it white.

8

It really stands out nicely against that colourful background.

9

I’ve popped this in to the frame and stuck the wording across the house.

11

I’ve taken a couple of the heart stickers from the kit and they’ve become flowers on my artwork.

It’s now finished.

I think it really brightens up the place. It’s such a happy piece of art.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this today.
