My finishing tutorial is here, including an explanation of why I finish everything flat, my tips, and some other thoughts on finishing. Click the "finishing" label to see other stuff. Here we go!
Black Hearted Queen, a freebie that can be found here. The charm is from Hobby Lobby.
A Halloween freebie that can be found here. The fabric is Solar from Picture This Plus.
A bunny freebie that can be found here. It's stitched with Caron Wildflowers in Easter Egg.
And a Christmas ornament from the 2014 Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament issue.
Here are a few close-ups of how I do the folded & pinned ribbon/trim. First, anchor the trim with a pin.
Fold the trim (or ribbon) down at an angle and then back up again, pinning at the fold.
Use the width of the ornament as a guide to how deep the folds should be. I like mine to be pretty close to the width of the ornament, maybe just a smidge wider.
Here's how it looks using ribbon.
Happy Finishing!

Lovely finishes - especially the Queen! Thanks for the explanation of the folded ribbon technique. It looks very effective and I can't believe how simple it is!
ReplyDeleteDelightful finishes!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! Can't wait to see the rest. I also read your finishing tutorial and loved it, and your humor as well! I have two pigs outside, similar to Petunia, although mine are of the metal variety...still need to name them....
