To make this Woven Ornament you will need:
Wooden Ornament Base from Purl and Loop (buy the ornament base on Amazon)
Embroidery Floss
Long Head Pin
Pliers
Ribbon
Start by cutting of a length of embroidery floss. Usually from your fingers to your nose is a good working length. Tie a knot at one end.
Pick a hole, and come up. Then go across and go back down. Come up next to where you went down. If this sounds confusing, don’t worry! There are excellent instructions in the kit!
Keep going all the way around, going in a spiral.
When you end, you’ll end in the last hole. It will feel awkward, but this is perfect.
Bring your needle to the middle, and you can start your weave! Over, under, over, under, over, under…
When you want to add a new color, you can tie it in from the back.
Keep weaving until your ornament is full.
Then you can tie it off on the back.
To add a hook, use a long headpin. Insert it from the back.
Then you can use pliers to make the loop.
Add a ribbon, and your woven ornament is ready to hang!
