Teeny Tutorial: DIY Embroidered Canvas Wall Art


I think the pictures are pretty straightforward but just in case...

Use the staple gun to secure the fabric of your choice around the canvas.  Print out your words/design and tape it to the front of your canvas.  Use the small nail and hammer to poke holes where you'll be stitching. You don't HAVE to do  this but it makes it much easier to embroider if you pre-poke your holes.

Stitch up your design and you're done!  Don't do like I did and try to freehand embroider some flowers.  I hate the way they look and I'm ripping those suckers out and drawing my design first.  Oh well.  You live you learn.
