Make this: Family Recipe Hoop Wall Art

Most families have at least one traditional recipe that family members look forward to every special occasion. Maybe it’s an entree, a side dish, or a dessert. Maybe it’s all three and more!

Here is a fun project is a great way to honor that recipe and the source of that recipe – Mom, Grandma or Great–Grandma! This wall art project uses vintage recipe cards to make wall art that is perfect for a farmhouse or vintage style kitchen. Using the original recipe as a base for a decor item means you have a visual reminder of your families traditions you can view every day.  This would be a lovely Mother’s Day gift.
