A Cross-stitch Picture on Craft Felt with Holes

1. Use your imagination and draw a design on a piece of squared graph paper. Alternatively you may print the template with instructions on cross-stitch. See the separate PDF file for this idea.

2. Use Maxi cotton yarn and a cross-stitch needle to copy the design with cross-stitch through the holes on the sheet of craft felt.

3. Secure any loose ends on the back.

4. For the frayed border at the bottom: For each hole, double over a piece of yarn (at your chosen length), thread it through the hole and tie with a knot.

5. Finish by trimming the entire frayed border with a pair of scissors.

6. Hang the finished picture in one or two of the holes in the craft felt. Alternatively you may attach a self-adhesive picture hanger to the back of the picture. Even though it is self-adhesive, secure it with a blob of glue.
