In one of my previous posts I have shown a cross stitched swans. U can see it here. I have created a frame for it so that I can hang it in the wall. Used plastic canvas and crochet and it is now ready to adorn the wall. Ta - da - da...
In the wall
I have used OHP sheet for the front and back of the cross stitched piece. The orange color portion of the frame is T stitch(needlepoint stitch). To work up a T stitch u can refer this page. Then Using sc, hdc, dc and trc' s of crochet I have created the scalloped edge for the frame. Hope u all like it. I'll end this post with a close up of the T stitch and scalloped edge.
I will come up with one more photo frame in my coming posts.
That is a neat frame for the cross stitched swans. I like the combination of T-stitch and crochet. Lovely to see.

ReplyDeleteIt looks very nice!! I liked the idea of OHP sheet. The green border looks pretty!! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteI too was working on plastic canvas last week. Not sure when will I post about it. I complete a project very soon in enthusiasm but then it lays around for quite a long time for finishing touches.
Great idea!It's simple but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA new like from a fellow cross stitcher. Wonderful way of finishing the stitched piece.
