Cute as a Bug! Easy DIY Frame and Giveaway!

Thank you to Artterro Eco Art Kits for sponsoring this awesome giveaway! All opinions are my own.

The nice folks at Artterro asked me to come up with a project using their Wool Felt Bug Kit.  Hmmm… bugs… But it turns out that bugs can totally be cute!  I took on the challenge and came up with a Cute as a Bug! DIY frame.

I’ll show you how to make it, and if you hang in there, at the bottom of the post you have a chance to win a Wool Felt Bug Kit of your very own!  So how about some cuteness in the form of bugs?

Begin by painting the frame with acrylic paint.  Any color will do!

While the frame is drying, it is time to assemble bugs!  I just love the variety of supplies!  I was able to come up with some wild and crazy bugs.  The kids would have a blast with this!

There are options to sew, using the supplied needle and colorful embroidery floss, or you can go the route I did and grab the hot glue gun!

After the frame is dry, add in the wording, “Cute as a Bug”.  I used a stencil for my lettering, drawing it on with pencil first and then filling in with acrylic paint.

This little frame is just one of  many possibilities with the Artterro Wool Felt Bug Kit.  I’m betting the kids would love a chance to make their own bugs this summer.
