Supplies: Rug hooking frame or hoop Rug hooking backing to fit your frame (such as linen, rug warp or monks cloth) Felted wool (color of choice.) (This is a good time to use up all those little pieces of scrap wool.) Wire wreath frame - can find them at Michael's or Amazon (Instructions are for a 12 Inch) Marker Tape measure Scissors Needle and thread Proddy tool, large rug hooking hook, or surgical hemostat Prepare your pattern:
Prepare your leaves:
Getting ready to Proddy:
Using a large hook insert it into the backing about five holes away from the stitch line. Holding a leaf strip underneath pull one end of leaf up to the top - skip over a few holes and insert hook into backing again and pull up other end of leaf. Repeat this process until all the backing is filled around the entire circle. When using a Proddy tool you will be working from the underneath pushing the leaf from the back to the front. Looking forward to seeing all these creations. How to finish your wreath will be the next step coming soon. Have Fun! Color Ideas FIGURE D FIGURE F FIGURE G
