Instead of painting, she decided to sort of sew/needlepoint on the canvas. She used regular old yarn and a thick needlepoint needle to do the design. Since canvas is a little thick, she used a scrapbook paper piercing tool to punch a tiny hole in the canvas before threading the needle through. Some of the flowers are made of paper and felt, and those she found at the scrapbook store and just glued on. The red flower is a silk flower from the craft store that she stitched down in the center. And of course, almost every flower has a button accent. She used some buttons from her Grandma's tin and some from a big bag of mixed buttons from Hobby Lobby.
Finished off with some ric-rac and a polka dot ribbon for hanging, it is perfect for her craft room or any little girls room. I think she did a great job and proud of her for getting creative! Just don't ask me to make one for you......I usually pin together my sewing project and have her do it for me.
