Fellowship and Crafting

Last night I had a lovely night of Fellowship and Crafting at our Church

 Apologies before I begin as Im afraid I lost some of the photos..

so to explain what we made I have taken some internet images to help illustrate

So....We made these fun plaques 

Google Images

We started off with rectangular peices of wood 

which were already painted white..or stained dark brown...

strips of fabric..

Scissors..

a glue gun...

a staple gun.. (not pictured)

and lots of embellishments like

flowers, buttons, bling, lace and ribbons

Google Images

We started by laying two strips of fabric one on top of the other

in a the shape of a cross

I chose some fabric that I thought would go with my Fall decor

 We then turned it over.. and a very kind lady who isnt as dangerous as me..

stapled the edges down.

I added a couple of hooks and some string in case I wanted to hang it

Then using string we passed under the fabric on the right side

and pulled tightly to form a cross...knotting tightly to finish

 To complete it we just added enbellishments with a glue gun

I chose sunflowers, daisies and leaves..

And it looks lovely on my shelf ready for next weeks Fall decorating

Love and Hugs
