Remember the interiors samples I posted about recently, along with the big bundle of embroidery thread?
It was the carpet sample that I had more trouble finding a use for, but after a brainwave moment in Poundland, I got out the sample and some of the embroidery thread, and made this simple framed decoration (I think calling it artwork is pushing it a bit!)
The frame came from Poundland; everything else was free!
Putting this together was so easy!
The carpet sample was a little big for the frame, so I cut it down with a Stanley knife, then used scissors to trim about 1cm of the fibres off around the edge:
After that, I simply wound four lengths of embroidery threads around the carpet sample so that they overlapped:
(I secured the ends of the threads at the back with a bit of tape)
This currently sits on the desk in my room, hiding the plugs!

ReplyDeleteThat's really simple but lovely and that frame is gorgeous! Hurrah for Poundland!
ReplyDeleteI like that wrapping effect - a lot!! I've never heard of Poundland, need to look that up to see what I'm missing :)
