Scallop Art (using a circle punch)

Hey ya'll! So today I'm joining in on The Pinterest Challenge. If you've never heard of it before it is this fun challenge to create something you were inspired by on Pinterest. I love pinning things so to actually see them come to life is so much fun! Last year I made a flower mirror using spoons! 

This time I decided to tackle this cool thing I saw someone do with a circle punch. They punched out circles from colorful card stock paper and made it into art. Here is how mine turned out. 

This was my inspiration.

I'm loving scallop prints right now! I really wanted to incorporate it in my living room in some way. So when I saw this awesome art on Pinterest, I knew I had to take my spin on it. 

It was super super easy to make. 

All you need is:

Some colorful paper (I bought 6 sheets from a craft store)

A circle puncher (mine is 1 3/4")

A glue stick

Pencil

Ruler

I took the pencil and ruler and made lines 3/4" apart on a piece of card-stock paper. I did this so I could line up my circles easy. You want to make sure your circles overlap so you get the scallop effect. Then I just got at it with the glue. I did the colors in random order. 

Here is what it looked after it was glued and the sides were trimmed.

I really love the way it turned out! I borrowed the frame I used the other day for the "New Shoes" printable I made so I need to go get another frame for it. I love how easy this was and how it is so versatile  I used these colors because they fit my living room well, but you could go with so many different ideas for it.

I'm joining the link parties of Young House Love, Bower Power, Sparkle Meets Pop, and Red Bird Blue.
