I already had another Halloween project planned, but I put that one to the side after I bought this pattern. I wanted to do something a little bit different, and focus on making new decorations for the house. So I decided to cross stitch a couple of the designs on plastic canvas with acrylic yarn. I l-o-v-e how they turned out!
I used 7 count plastic canvas, acrylic yarn, a blunt tapestry needle, and the Halloween Frenzy pattern for this project. I'm happy to post a tutorial or more detailed how-to instructions, if there are enough requests.
This is a really great weekend project. I was able to finish one pumpkin in an evening while watching Mad Men on Netflix Instant. I am so happy they added that and Breaking Bad to the Instant options! We haven't had cable for a couple of years, so I've been spoiling myself in the evenings. Speaking of spoiling, I just started Season 3, so no spoilers in the comments please!
Has anyone else started on Fall or Halloween decorating?
LOVE these!! I bought this pattern last week, and it never occurred to me to do anything as cool as this! ♥ I'd love to see how you did the edges--they look so nice & neat. :)
ReplyDeleteI lugged the container of Autumn/Halloween decor in from the garage yesterday...and that's as far as I've gotten on my decorating. :/
