How-to: Watercolor Hoop Art

Art· Craft Basics· Home Decor

You can create watercolor hoop art for your home in just a few simple steps with our new Spectrum Aqua watercolor markers.  These markers make it easy to add watercolor magic to your home decor.  Grab a hoop, some fabric, and get inspired to make your own creation today.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-1I ended up making three pieces of hoop art as shown above.  I will talk about how to make each one below.  The steps are roughly the same for all three.

Supplies needed to make your own watercolor hoop art:supply-list

  • Spectrum Aqua Watercolor Markers.
  • Embroidery Hoops.
  • White Canvas Fabric.
  • Paint Brush.
  • Water.
  • Scissors.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-004Insert the material into the hoop and pull tight.  Tighten the screw on the hoop.  Trim any excess fabric on the back with scissors.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-005I am going to start with the watercolor state art.  Print a silhouette of your state in the size to fit your hoop.  Cut it out from the paper and trace around it using the black watercolor marker.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-006Start in one corner and apply a little bit of marker. Then use the water and paint brush to spread it out onto your fabric.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-008Pick your next color and continue in the same manner.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-009Each time you add a new color, be sure to blend it into the other colors slightly when you are using the water and paint brush.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-010Continue until your entire state is filled with gorgeous color.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-011Set aside to dry then display your new watercolor hoop art proudly.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-003Want a geometric look?  Trace around any object with the watercolor markers to create a pattern.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-012Run over the entire pattern with water and your paint brush to create unique one of a kind art.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-013Again, set aside to dry before hanging.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-002If you want a quote, just write it out with the markers then go over each line with your paint brush and water.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-014For this version I found a piece of art I loved online and mimicked it to the best of my ability.  This will definitely encourage you to create happiness in your home!

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-001Search and find some inspirational art online then grab your hoop and watercolor markers.  This watercolor hoop art is as easy to create as drawing then wiping over your lines with water.

DIY-watercolor-hoop-art-Crafts-Unleashed-2Give this technique a try for art around your home!

    Love this watercolor art Angie, so pretty and special. I need to get back into crafting again. Have been depressed for long enuf, time to get those juices flowing.
    Losing our Grandson last June hit me harder than I realized, need something to get me going again and this looks like something can get into. Want to try the die cut art also, will be easy enuf to work with.
    Maybe hubs can make the frames for me for die cut art.
    Has been quite pleasant here this winter. I miss cold and snow but need to go with what we have, been in the 50’s.
    Love this hoop art also, have plenty of different sized hoops have accumulated so will be making some art. Wonderful posts.
    Have wonderful weekend
