The machine-embroidered wool circles and fused squares featured in the Wooly Welcome wall hanging can be used in many other projects. We've come up with several ideas for you to try!
1 Use paper-backed fusible web to fuse an embroidered circle to a second wool circle of the same size. Blanket-stitch around the edges for a really useful coaster.
2 Stitch two embroidered circles together on the outer edges and stuff with lavender for a sweet sachet.
3 Make a Christmas ornament by hand or machine edge-stitching two embroidered circles together. Add a loop for hanging.
4 Cut a piece or red wool to your desired length. Fuse circles/squares to it for a table runner or banner decoration.
5 Fuse and stitch several appliquéd squares to a wool background and make a pillow of any desired shape/size.
6 Embellish your favorite shirt with machine-embroidered wool pockets.
7 Enlarge the wall hanging to throw size and snuggle up!
8 Clothespin a number of embroidered circles to a small cord and suspend across a window or doorway to decorate your home for the holidays.
Let your imagination have fun thinking up even more ideas for fun embroidered projects!
