I had a book about string craft on my Amazon Wish List last Christmas that my son and daughter-in-law got for me. This summer I did order the wood slices to do at least one of the projects in the book and finally last month I set my mind to actually doing the project.
I first had to use my dremel tool to drill the holes in the disks according to the patterns in the book. I have to thank HWNSNBP for the use of one of his clamps which made it a hundred times easier.
I have a small stash of embroidery floss which came in handy.
And I just had to pick out the color combos I wanted to use, thread the floss on a needle and follow the stitching chart for each one.
I managed a dozen string craft ornaments which I think I'll either use for package tags or make a garland out of.
There are a couple of other projects I hope to get to in this book. When I do, I'll be sure to share.
Very nice work
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I love these!! I never would have thought of doing this sort o embroidery on wood.
ReplyDeleteThanks. They were fun and once the holes are drilled, go quickly.
DeleteLove it! That's what I love about your blog. I get so many great ideas. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorrie! Same to you! Send me your new address when you get a chance.
DeleteOh, beautiful! If I show these to DH he will wish he had kept the coaster-size slice he trimmed off the bottom of the tree yesterday. I think they would make a wonderful wreath.or garland.
