Upcycled Canvas Frame Spring Hanging Decoration

Hello everyone! If you're new here on my blog, welcome! I am so happy that you decided to stop by.
Today we are creating a simple Spring upcycled decoration. I decided to reuse my canvas frame for this project and I love how easy it was to give this a new look. 


Watch the video tutorial below



Materials

One canvas frame
I had this from an older craft and decided to reuse it on this craft
Decorative napkin
Mod Podge
Scissors
Bird decorations-purchased at Dollar Tree
Paintbrush
Acrylic paint-I'm mixing white and purple together
Twine
Faux floral


 

This would be perfect for this craft if you have a canvas frame on hand. If you do not have a canvas frame, or would instead use a frame of your choice, that will also work. I started by applying white acrylic paint to my frame. Allow your frame to dry before applying your second color to your frame. I decided to use a lighter purple over my white paint.


Next, you are ready to start working with your decorative napkin and mod podge.


Before applying your mod podge to your birds, use a pencil to trace your birds out on your napkin. You could also just place your napkin over your birds after applying your mod podge and cut off the excess napkin. I decided to trace my birds out onto my napkin and cut the shapes out. Before applying my mod podge, I used my white acrylic paint and painted over the birds. The black surface on the birds is actually a chalkboard surface. 


You are now ready to add your twine. I added a strand of twine to the back of my canvas frame for hanging my decoration. I used some of my hot glue to attach my twine. You could also use E6000.


After adding your twine, take your birds and attach them to your frame using either hot glue or any adhesive of your choice. I decided to add one bird on top, and one in the bottom corner.


Next, take your faux floral and begin to cut them to size. I added a few of my flowers to each corner where I had not placed my birds.


This is completely optional, but you can take a strand of craft pearls and add them to your birds. I thought this gave it a cute appearance. 


Your decoration is complete and ready to be displayed. I loved how simple this was to create. And I love that I was able to reuse my canvas frame.  Thank you so much for stopping by and creating this craft with me. I'll see you soon.

    A few years back, I made a couple of these to hang on my front door. I no longer have them but I remember it being an easy project.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
