Christmas ABC Wall Hanging
|
For this Christmas wall hanging we used Christmas
Alphabet design, a piece of fabric for the embroidery, measuring about
15" x 32", a piece of felt for backing of the same size, a bi-color bias
strip of about 80", and a 3/8"-thick wooden rod about 14"-15" long.
|
|
| Step One: Mark a rectangle of 13" x 30" on the fabric for the
embroidery. Make a layout of the ABC designs: there are 4 letters in the
first 3 rows (A, B, C, D; E, F, G, H and I, J, K, L), the forth row has
three letters (M, N, O), the fifth has 4 letters (P, Q, R, S), the
sixth row has 3 (T, U, V), the seventh 2 (W, X) and the last row has 3
(Y, &, Z). You can customize this however you want. Stitch out the
letter designs. |
| Step Two: Under the last row of your letters stitch out the
corner design. You can download it here. |

The color order is:
1. Green;
2. Red;
3. Golden Yellow.
|
| Step Three: Press the fabric with the embroidery. Put a piece
of felt on an even surface and cover it with your embroidery. Pin both
layers together and cut out a rectangle (13" x 30") by the marks. Mark
out an angle for the ending in the lower part of the rectangle and cut
it out. Hand-baste the hanging along all edges. |
|
| Step Four: Prepare a two-colored bias strip. You will
need about 80". Use it to finish the raw edges. |
|
| Step Five: Finish the upper edge of the hanging with machine
zigzag. At the top, fold 1" back and slip-stitch to make a "sleeve". |
|
| Step Six: Insert a rod into the sleeve. Tie a cord to its ends,
or decorate it with ribbons. The hanging is ready! |
