For this very easy yet eyecatching window decoration we used the Battenberg lace designs of the Reindeer, Christmas Tree Ornament, and Reindeer Ornament.
|
|
You will need :
- embroidery cotton and polyester threads (follow the freestanding Battenberg lace instructions),
- alluminum craft wire, 15 gauge, of any color,
- wire cutters,
- battery operated "Fairy Lights",
- a piece of cardboard,
- quilter's ruler,
- a pencil or marker.
|
Embroidery:
|
Following the instructions, make stitch-outs of the Reindeer, Christmas Tree Ornament, and Reindeer Ornament. For the frame we made, we used 2 stitch-outs of the tree and one each of the deer.
Let them air dry. Press if needed.
Meanwhile prepare the frame.
|
Template:
|
On a piece of cardboard, draw a rectangle :
Do not cut it out. You will use the outline to shape the wire tree.
|
|
Following the outline of the rectangle, shape the wire to make a double frame. Cut the wire. Fold the ends into a loop. The wire we used was soft enough to work without any tools. If you are using a harder wire, you might need pliers.
|
|
Wrap the string of "fairy lights" around the wire frame.
|
|
Check that the lights work.
|
|
Thread small pieces of thread through the stitch-outs and tie the ends to the frame.
|
|
|
Hang the frame on the window and light.
|
| Have fun! |
