SUPPLIES NEEDED: Canvas

NOTE:
We used a unstitched canvas to film the videos below for immediate
viewing purposes with no audio. You need to stitch your canvas
first.
To play the video, click the red square. To enlarge it, click
the square next to the word "youtube". Click it again
to return back. (At the end of each video other displayed videos
are youtube ads).

| 1) After
you stitch your canvas, cut the excess canvas away leaving
about a 1/2" circular border. TIP: if you have some
fingernail polish laying around (or pick up a bottle at the dollar
store) paint around the canvas edge. This will help prevent it
from fraying. |
| 2) Then
fold the canvas,
including a small portion of the design,
and
press firmly with your fingers, going all around the canvas
4-5 times. The canvas will become less stiff, more flexible
and more easily form a circle when you pull the threads. Next
sew a line of stitches around the canvas like in the video and
remove the needle. Pull your threads firmly against the felt circle
to form your 2" circle and tie 2 knots. Lay it on the pendant
and if any part goes over the pendant edge, flip the canvas over
and pull the edge in a little tighter and glue. |
3)
Next glue the canvas to the pendant. Position the canvas
where you want it, keeping your fingers on it, lift a small section
and put 3 beads of glue about 1/8" back from the pendant
edge*. Press down firmly and hold for 15-20 seconds. As it cools
the glue hardens very quickly. If you remove your fingers too
soon it will not adhere to the pendant. Keep your fingers on the
glued section, turn the pendant and lift the unglued canvas and
apply more beads of glue just like in the video. Press and hold
15-20 seconds.
*NOTE: If you put the glue on the pendant edge it will squish
out the front of the canvas which you do not want. Once the glue
hardens its very difficult to remove. IF you have a tiny bead
on the outside of the canvas you may be able to remove it by holding
the tip of the hot glue gun on it a few seconds to soften and
remove it that way. |
