Geometric Halloween Moon Art

By Mandi 10/20/2014

Happy Monday you guys!! I can.not believe that it is almost Halloween. Isn’t it still supposed to be June? Where have the last 5 months gone?! Oh wait. I remember.

Holiday decorating is at a minimum at the Gubler household right now, but I just had to share this secret newsletter tutorial that Jamie did a few weeks ago. It is the perfect halloweeny but not too halloweeny decoration. Also I would leave it up all year.

So basically its just a really great project.

Just a reminder that she creates projects like this every week that are only available through the Vintage Revivals weekly newsletter (it comes out every Friday). If you don’t already subscribe, you should SO get on that. (Pssst. You can subscribe in the box below.)

 

Hey VR besties! Its Jamie and I am so excited to share this tutorial with you today!!

(Insert here, theme song from…The Twilight Zone.) Do do do do do do do do do do do do! I love Halloween time. I love getting becoming irrational fearful for my life in corn mazes and watching old scary movies…I can’t watch new scary movies they scare me too much, I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense but “The Ghost and Mr… Chicken” is about my limit…there’s actually something that I don’t love love about Halloween. The decor. Call me crazy but my sister Janae agrees. It actually makes Janae not want to eat. She doesn’t just not like it, she literally thinks it’s gross and can’t mentally eat anything that is served from a Halloween tray/bowl/etc.

So her and I decided to create some art that was semi halloweeny. (That’s totally a word just go with it.) Plus moon projects are my faves right not (Like this wall, and this clock yes please.)

Look at the moon! So I had this idea for something else and this has maybe turned into a series. I have about 4 more I actually really want to do that I’ll share with you when I’m done. For now this guy totally fits the Halloween vibe we have going on here, and it’s super easy to make.

 

What you need:

photo print (you can download the high res image from NASA here)

string

needle

pencil (to draw your design on the back so you know where to sew!)

It’s super easy to get a ruler and measure out a really basic geometric shape. Do this on the back of your picture, or you can print off this shape and use it as a hole poking guide.

Geometric Moon

Poke all your holes first where so then you can see where you’re supposed to sew on the front and the photo of the photo. Give yourself plenty of slack! Paper doesn’t give like fabric does!

  1. Hmmm… Guess I’m the only one that doesn’t quite get how to do it (not a first, believe me)! Is the photo glued onto something heavier than paper? That last/second explanation has me confused… maybe it’s just a proof-reading issue? Idk… Guess this girl just needs a few more “steps.” Really, really cute, though!!

  2. I love this project! I was a math teacher. Thus, all your geometric designs are wonderful for me.
    You are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
