I love cross stitch and I love trying different things so when I saw an embroidered pegboard on Pinterest I knew I had to try it.
Equipment needed to make an embroidered pegboard:
Pegboard
White paint
Paint brush
Sand paper
Tapestry wool
Needle
How to make an embroidered pegboard:
I bought a large piece of pegboard (also known as perforated hardboard) from my local wood shop, gave it a light sand then a couple of coats of white undercoat. I wanted it to look a little rough so I didn’t try too hard.
When it had dried I embroidered big letters using the brightest tapestry wool I could find in Hobbycraft.
It looks perfect with the little pot of Narcissus ‘Tête-à-tête’ I picked up for a pound at Columbia Road Flower Market yesterday morning.
I love the fact that I can unpick the letters when I want something different. I wonder what other uses pegboard has? I’m off to take a look on Pinterest for some more inspiration.
Good for you, I’ve been wanting to try this idea too…..sweet and simple, and so happy to see you on Craft schooling Sunday!
Thanks! I might have to make a smaller version as my house is little but fun and easy to do 🙂
