MY GIVEAWAY:
Prize Number One is one of my Little Frame Loom kits in cherry red.
It is a simple weaving loom which is great for small projects and is easy to learn for kids and beginners. You can use a wide variety of materials for weaving – yarn, recycled plastic, paper, novelty fibers.
The kit includes:
• 7 x 5 ¼ inch frame loom
• beater comb for packing the rows of weaving together
• needle-style shuttles in 2 lengths
• instructions with color diagrams & photos, including two ways to warp and finish your project
• link to additional video instructions
I designed the loom and tools and have them laser cut for me from acrylic plastic.Prize Number Two is a tiny quilting hoop ornament in pink and green “flying geese” triangles. The bamboo hoop is just an inch across and the fabric is digitally printed and then hand quilted with some tiny stitches. I also designed these hoops and have them laser cut from bamboo plywood.
(The links above are to similar items in my etsy shop if you want to see more details or photos.)
