creating change. since i took down my christmas decorations i’ve been craving change. something new. specifically: a new large piece of art. so, this is what i did:
i picked up a 36″ x 48″ white canvas with my 40% off coupon from JoAnns. i chose some new thick wool yarn in an almost-ombre selection of colors + red, and started wrapping my canvas! the red was chosen in honor of valentines day.
all you need:
- canvas
- yarn
- scissors
when the blizzard came to town, i had plenty of time to wrap yarn around a canvas! from start to finish, this entire project took me about ninety minutes. i started and finished each color by a simple knot on the back of the canvas as seen here:
that little section of red… i plan on switching it out with other colors depending on the season. next: an emerald green for st. patrick’s day. then: a mustard yellow for spring and summer!
this is the cherub babies month to shine!!!
if what you seek doesn’t exist, create it. in art. in life.

Thats so creative and looks easy! Are you going to do a full tour of your home?
Hi Jane- You are so creative!!! I love the simplicity of this canvas. I have been wanting to create some simple art that will sit above the fireplace in my master bedroom and I love the idea of creating something like this. Hope you are staying warm out there on the East Coast.
Hi. can you share where you found the ottomans. thanks. Deb
