Many finishers holiday finishing deadline is in the summer months and this is a elegant solution to that problem. That is also less expensive and faster than traditional finishing. Almost anyone with basic crafting skills could finish an ornament with this ornament form in 30 to 60 minutes depending on the person's skill level.
Finishing Steps:
- The first step would be to block your needlepoint if needed
- Trim off extra canvas till the design is just a little bit larger than the opening of the frame, about a eighth of an inch larger is good or about 4 or 5 rows beyond the design.
- You'll want to test fit your stitching in the form, then cut a piece of press on board or heavy duty cardboard thats a little smaller than the opening of the box or ornament.
- Test fit the board in your ornament.
- Trim your stitching if necessary to make it fit well on your board.
- Secure your stitching to the press on board by peeling the sticky side, lacing the ornament around the board or pinning it to the cardboard.
- Slide it into your form, reattach the back.
- Slide in a hanger to the top for an ornament, attach stand or put box back together.
- Voila, beautiful finished needlework!
