There's two kinds of people. Those who love to make tiny things and those who do not. Well, I guess there are other kinds of people in the world, but we won't go there right now. Any new craft I learn, I've got to figure out how to make a miniature version. And so it is with coiled baskets. Another thing I love is untangling embroidery floss. When all the threads are neatly in their proper places, I feel like I've won the battle and can go forth into the world with no fear. So, one day, after untangling a...
Embroidery floss is one of those supplies that seems to sneak up on you. I did for me. I'd buy a couple of skeins for a project here, then a half-dozen for another project there. I'll tell myself that I'd wind them onto the little cardboard bobbins, and organize them into binders or boxes, but more

Your embroidery scissors work hard and they deserve some special embellishment. An easy-to-make tassel is the perfect accessory for scissors of all shapes and sizes. The tassel is made from embroidery floss and hangs from a decorative twisted cord made from the same floss. Read on to find out how to make both the tassel and the cord. We used a Loome tool to make the cord and the tassel. The Loome makes it easier, but this project can also be done without one.

Do you have a loom? Have you tried weaving? If you've been wanting to jump on this fiber trend but feel like buying a loom is a bit daunting, did you know it's super easy to make a DIY loom... and that DIY looms actually work great?! Here's how to make a sweet little mini DIY loom (that actually works) in less than five minutes! All you need is a scrap of cardboard (the flap of a box works great) and you're good to go. First, cut your cardboard to size. We used a piece about 4" x 6". You can definitely use a much larger piece if you like, but if you're looking for a low-commitment project, start small! :) After cutting the cardboard, mark the top and bottom every 1/4". Then, simply snip a notch about 1/4" deep at each mark, using scissors. Beginning at the bottom left, wrap your warp thread around the loom, going from top to bottom and all the way around the back of the loom. Leave a long tail at the beginning and end of the warp. This is the view on the back! Tie the two warp tails together on the back. And now you're ready to weave! You can use any standard weaving instructions for a "frame loom" to begin working on your DIY loom. And that's it -- really simple, right? These baby looms are a great way to experiment with weaving or to do a weaving project with a group, like a crafty bachelorette party or even a kids' activity. If you make this project, we'd love to see how it turns out! Share your pics and tag us @brooklyncraftcompany and #brooklyncraftcompany.

Complete directions for sewing your embroidered panels into ornaments. Sampler measures approximately 10" x 10" What you'll need: Embroidery Thread Needles Scissors Backing fabric or wool Iron and ironing surface About Dropcloth: The story of Dropcloth Samplers started at Squam Art Workshops. In the summer of 2010, on a whim, Rebecca Ringquist designed and printed an embroidery sampler, and sold over a hundred of them at the Squam Art Sale. Word got around the blog-o-sphere, and one thing led to another. Why "dropcloth"? A dropcloth is something that can get messy - a piece of fabric that you can afford to make a mistake with. You can jump in and take a risk!
