Easter gifts for DIY fans
Thread picture with Easter motif
For a thread picture you need:
- a wooden base / tree slice
- Nails
- hammer
- Wool / yarn
That's how it's done:
- First transfer your motif to the wood. If you can't draw freehand so well, just cut out a popular Easter motif from paper and trace the outline.
- Then you hammer in nails at regular intervals. Make sure that they sit evenly deep.
- Then you knot the beginning of the thread on a nail and then begin to stretch it crisscross the nails. So that the thread pattern is more stable, you can put a loop around individual nails.
- Now the entire outline of the motif can be drawn again with the thread. To do this, it runs the thread partially along the inside and outside of the nails – this is the only way to get hold.
- Knots the end at the end.
