Supplies Provided
  • Embroidery Hoop
  • Needle
  • Assorted colors of yarn
  • Burlap (2 canvases)
  • Beads
  • Stitching Guide
Supplies you may have at home
  • Scissors
  • Stick for hanging (optional)
  • Sharpie marker (for planning design)
​Instructions: 
  1. Find your embroidery hoop with the burlap already assembled. This is ready to go! 
  2. Next, plan what you will weave by either drawing your image directly on your burlap canvas using a permanent marker or make it up as you go. You can also find the stitching guide to practice weaving techniques on your first burlap canvas. 
  3. The needle you will use is attached to the burlap. This is a reusable needle for future projects. Now, find the yarn in your bag to use. You may have other colors of yarn as well lying around at your house. 
  4. Choose one color to start with and cut an arms-length piece of yarn. Thread your needle with the yarn. To do this, bring the needle to the midpoint of the yarn. Bring the two ends together and tie a knot in the end. 
  5. Starting underneath your hoop and burlap, you will stitch up through the burlap so the knot is on the bottom of your canvas and you will not see it with your artwork. Now, you can use your stitching guide to complete your pattern or image. You might want to start with the over/under stitching technique. 
  6. Use the beads that came with this project by stitching in to the burlap. To do this, add a bead to your needle and bring bead to the end of your yarn. From here, continue stitching to attach bead to burlap.  
  7. Complete your image or pattern. Once you finish with one canvas, you can take this off of the embroidery hoop and hang this is in your bedroom or use it as a placemat or a table decoration. You may also choose to give this as a gift. 
  8. Your embroidery hoop can be reused for the next canvas or you can keep your artwork in the hoop to hang as well. 
  9. HAVE FUN!

To change colors or tie off yarn: 

When you have about 2 inches left of your working yarn or if you need to change colors, make sure your needle and extra yarn are underneath your canvas and not visible on the artwork side. Cut your yarn off of your needle and tie a knot in the end so it will not come undone. Your needle now is detached from your burlap canvas. To add new yarn, thread your needle using the instructions above. 

Take pictures and email to info@theartbase.org or Caroline Cares, caroline@basaltlibrary.org.

No Spanish instructions for today's craft. Spanish instructions will resume next week.
