Rolled Flower Wall Art for Valentine’s Day

Last Updated on January 5, 2022 by lydiaf1963

I’m pleased to share some rolled flower wall art with you as part of this month’s Pinterest Challenge.

The idea behind the Pinterest challenge is to make something inspired by one (or more) of pins you’ve curated. This month the theme is “Shopping My Stash.”

Technically I’m shopping my daughter’s stash as I used vinyl and paper she had on hand. I did have a small canvas, though. Since I used leftovers from other projects my supply cost is ZERO.

Sweet.

I was inspired by rolled paper flower shadow boxes I’ve seen on Pinterest, like this one.

When I was planning the layout, I was thinking of candy hearts. Rather than form the shape with the flowers I decided to use negative space to form the heart shape.

You could cut out the flower shapes with scissors but you’ll save some effort if you use a Cricut or other cutting machine. There are free SVG files available for the flowers or you can purchase a package.

To Make Rolled Flower Wall Art You’ll Need:

• 8 x 10 stretched canvas
• light weight card stock (Avoid paper with a core for this project)
• holographic vinyl for the lettering
• glue
• quilling tool
• pearls, beads and other embellishments as desired

What I enjoyed most about this project was the ability to space it out over a couple days as I had time. For a change I gave myself plenty of time and didn’t have to rush.

I’d cut some flowers and roll them while watching TV. When I thought I had enough I started gluing them to the canvas.

Then I’d make more flowers of a particular color, style or size to fill in some areas.

1. Lightly sketch a heart shape on the canvas

2. Use your favorite cutting machine to create the sentiment and cut out the vinyl.

Mine says “Sweet” but yours can say anything you like. (I’m also partial to Hubba Hubba, lol)

3. Cut the vinyl and apply it to the canvas.

4. Cut and roll the flowers

I needed about 100 altogether. I used various colors, flower shapes and sizes.

This part can be fiddly as you’ll need to manipulate the file size to fit the paper. In general, I was able to get 4 to 6 flowers on a sheet.

The plain spiral flowers are easiest to roll. They are also good for filling spaces. When I needed a really small flower, I removed some of the paper.

5. Glue the flowers to the canvas in a way that appeals to you.

6. Add embellishments as desired.

There are other bloggers shopping their stashes and joining me in the Pinterest Challenge.
