I have a client that had these on the wall in her little daughter's bedroom. Since I was decorating this room, I needed this wall space for something else (I will share more on that in another post).
These flowers stick on the wall with peel and stick tape and it is very hard to get it off the wall without any wall damage. They can be purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond.
I wanted to use these in another location in her home since she already had them, they were cute and they were new. But I didn't want to damage anymore walls. So I painted three canvases. This would allow me to place the flowers in an artful design and only have three nails in the wall at the same time.

Okay....this is seriously adorable. You will get a TON of hits for this project. I see that you are linking it to a HUGE list of parties. I just can't find the time it takes to do this....You must have some streamline way?? Are all of those backlinks to the ACTUAL party or just the general blog? I would LOVE some pointers, cuz I have just stopped posting on linky parties very much because of the time consumption to do so.
ReplyDeleteI like your solution much better. The flowers show up so much more!
ReplyDeleteWow, This is really artsy! It is so original ,I love it!

I haven't seen these before but they are very pretty and versatile.
ReplyDeleteI like your ides better than putting them directly on the wall if it ruin the paint job.
Great idea ... I have been known to buy stuff for projects like that and then hide then on top of a closet until I find time to do them :) Stopping in to follow from the blog hop - hope you have time to visit and return the favor soon. Ohhh ... and enter to win a free copy of my book too!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a great idea to put them on canvases. I love the arrangement of the canvases and flowers. I would love it if you would stop by and share at the Cure for the Common Monday.

I love the idea to put them on canvas...and i think they look way better that way, too. I'm pinning your idea to come back to later. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI found you through the Homemaker on a Dime Blogger party and I'm your newest follower. Come check me out, too, if you're interested @ Carissa's Creativity Space
Very Cool idea! I love that the flowers cross over from one to the next - AWESOME!
ReplyDeletevery creative!!!

You could have just hung the painted canvases and had a beautiful abstract piece. Adding the flowers gives the whole thing a great three dimensional look and the flowers pop off the canvases. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a charming idea and looks lovely :)Thanks for dropping by Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays and sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
ReplyDeleteTerry this is so gorgeous. Adore that you chose the canvases to save the walls. I saw it on Pinterest and saw it was from your blog.
ReplyDeleteKristy @ 4 the love of WOOD
what size canvases did you use?
ReplyDeletewhere did you get those flowers at. This is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteI would likw to know what size of canvases did you use? Type of paint?
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! I have a huge wall so would like to do something similar on a larger scale. What kind of paint do you use? How do you apply the paint to get that swept look? (Do you just layer your colors while wet?) I am so NOT an artist but it would be fun to create a piece on my own! Thank you so much for the p-inspiration!
