Top Tip
Use a compass to make the holes for the pins if it’s too tough to press them into the canvas.
How to Make
- Take a large canvas and paint it black.
- Once it is dry turn it over.
- Now cut a sheet of foam board to fit in the back of the canvas and stick it in.
- Then stick another sheet of foam board on top of the last and let it dry.
- Print off the template and lay it over the canvas.
- Press in the pins into each marked spot.
- Do each of the spirals in a different colour pin to make it easier to keep track of threading.
- Start by tying the thread onto one of the middle pins then wrap it around the two other coloured central pins to make a triangle.
- After you have a triangle continue round in a clockwise direction moving each time one pin over on each spiral. For example, Green1- pink 2- Red 2 –green 2- pink 3 -red 3 -green 3 etc.
- When you reach the last pin tie the thread in a double knot and snip off any ends.
