Wooden Embroidery Hoop and Fabric Wall Hanging

  • Tutorials
  • Dec 17, 2014

It’s been a couple weeks since my Mom left. She spent nearly a month here to help me out with a few workshops, events and bazaars. Philippines is on a Holiday High, so we were quite busy managing all the craft sales at the different craft fairs and bazaars, as well as from the I Try DIY Shop. Tutorials took a backseat, but I’m definitely back with a vengeance. Mom left behind this cute wall hanging. It’s such a simple project, I don’t even know why I never thought of it!

It was pretty cool having the number pop instead of having the usual flat number. I was asked how I managed to keep the cost down, thinking that I purchased some of those 3D numbers people use for their homes. I’ll let you in on a secret.

  • Tutorials
  • Sep 15, 2014

I was digging through some old photos I had. I found several photos I took with my lomo cameras, and thought they would look really nice as a canvas for my pressed flowers. This was a shot I took of my brother, @sleepymilo, outside the Brooklyn Museum back in 2008.
