The Art Squares from Inchie Arts come in several sizes. I used the 4 inch squares for my project. I love how sturdy their squares are and how beautifully they accept so many different mediums. Since they are so thick and sturdy, you can really create something lasting, that can be used for home decor.
I made a fall wall hanging with the 4 inch square and made a coil of heavy wire to use for hanging it. First, I punched two holes in the top, for the wire, using my Crop-a-dial. Then I painted the surface of the art board with craft paint and let it dry. Even though I used a liberal amount of paint, there was no warping at all of the art board. I love that!
I sponged some brown ink around the edges , then stamped some silhouette grasses for my background. Some colored and stamped images were added using self adhesive foam squares and accented with some loops of silver cord tucked in behind. The words were stamped onto cardstock, and glued on. Then I added the wire for hanging.
The finished project is so sturdy, it will surely last to use year after year as part of my fall decorations. What a fun hostess gift this would make!
