Yarn Painted Card Redux

May 1, 2012 by Michele

 

Many moons ago, I wove bits of yarn into a mesh vegetable bag and created a scenic yarn painted greeting card for a sweet loved one ‘o mine. Since I needed a pretty card recently and have no shortage of yarn scraps (or, for that matter, mesh veggie bags ), I thought: “Why not try that again?” This version is simpler in design, and personalized with a blanket-stitched felt monogram. A nifty possibility in a sea of endless ones.

Find the original yarn painted greeting card tutorial HERE.

Have a lovely day!

    Hey, I remember that yarn painted card vividly! It was the first post I ever read on your blog 🙂 Van Gogh-esque.

    This one looks totally different! I like the earthy stripes, very retro looking.

    Lordy, that's pretty! I remember the original tutorial well. But this is so tailored, and that blanket stitch on the monogram is a perfect little detail.

    Well I DON'T remember the original tutorial because you wrote it before i "met" you! MUST take time to explore your past secrets!

    Brilliant! As much as I enjoy weaving in unconventional ways, you KNOW I will be giving this a try!

    Thank you two years late for the tutorial!
