Hello Ladies and gentlemen, How are you all? I heard you..... Great to hear you're all fine!
I am here to show another fun DIY you can make anytime and It's therapeutic, By the way.
Let's get through it.....
A weaved heart shape coaster. If you want to relieve stress, Try weaving :) It can be anything you want, Plus you get a beautiful product, awesomeness!
Materials
- yarns
- scissor
- cardboard (sturdy)
- needle (plastic)
- ruler
- fork
- pen
Methods:
Draw a line measuring one inch at the edge of the cardboard on both opposite sides. This will serve as your guide point.
Draw a vertical line measuring 1/4 inch above the lines. Then cut a slit in each line.
Draw a heart shape at the middle of the cardboard This will be also your guide creating heart shape in the middle.
Wedge the yarn on the first slit, leaving two inches allowance.
Wedge across on the first slit then wedge to the opposite side.
Start in the middle using the red yarn, following the heart shape guide. Begin warping by going under and over the lines.
Use a fork or ruler to push up. But not too tight so it stays in shape.
Skip one line on each side as you approach the bottom of the heart shape guide.
If you would like to change the color or have just ran out of thread, Just leave a 2 inches allowance of the last thread and start your next thread.
Once heart shape is done, secure your lose thread through back stitch.
Start warping around the heart using white thread by going under and over the lines.
Remove the thread from the loom one at a time. Cut in the middle and do a double tie.
It can be a personalised gift for friends or love one's, for home use or a nice give aways for parties.
A fun artwork you can do with kids, it's sure lots of fun!
Remember, Practice makes perfect. Please be warned that this hobby is super relaxing to make and it's pretty addictive.
Happy weaving Steemverse!
