Good morning, everyone! Well, at least it’s morning in Maine! I wanted to share with you this quick project my sister and I whipped up a few nights ago for her apartment.
My sister lives in an old building in the East End of Portland. It’s such a cool spot – it’s actually in the same building that I used to live before I was married! The neighborhood is cool and friendly, and she can walk to work.
She’s been hard at work decorating and re-decorating, and she was looking for a quick, inexpensive way to liven up her dining room. (I have such space envy of her apartment – she has a dining room! Not a living room/dining room combo! Jealous!)
So we came up with this!
This was our inspiration. We didn’t have one of those circle cutters, so I was in charge of cutting out a ton of circles. Carolyn was in charge of making me dinner. Yum.
I laid them out on the kitchen floor to get a rough idea of where the dots were going to go. Then I used spray adhesive to stick them to the canvas. If we did it again, I’d use thicker paper and different spray adhesive. I wish I had the can from my studio in Dublin! Way easier to use!
But overall, it’s cheerful and festive for the holiday season.
What do you think? Cheery, right?
