Ready to start the next part of your Holly project? Here are the instructions.
Golden Holly Stumpwork (Part 2)
Holly Berries
Using DMC 666, cover each pony bead. Using the size 10 crewel needle, Take a long strand of thread through the bead. Leave a 5 cm (2”) tail to hold onto. This tail will also be used to secure the bead to the fabric. Take the thread around the outside of the bead and through the hole in the same direction as before. Pull the thread firmly and continue taking the thread around the outside of the bead and through the hole until the bead is completely covered.
Secure the thread on the inside of the bead by taking the needle through the wound threads a couple of times.
There is more to come so stay tuned
