Supply List:

13 Mesh Needlepoint Canvas 

Gingher 8-Inch Shears 

Gingher 3.5" Stork Scissors

Magna-Tac 809 Permanent Adhesive 8oz

Gloriana Halloween Green Pastel

DMC Embroidery Floss in Sunset Orange

Sundance Beads size 11 in Color #253

Ring Blank in Gunmetal 

Orange Thread (to match DMC)

Small Beading Needle

Size 20 Tapestry Needle  

 

Stitch a 1" x 1" square (for 13 Mesh this will be 13 x 13 rows) out of Gloriana. I also taped the edges of my canvas so it wouldn't fray, but it's not necessary. See our podcast on YouTube for stitching help.

 Next, I added a few french knots in the DMC and then covered those knots in seed beads. I attached the beads with the matching thread. 

Cut your needlepoint leaving approximately 5 rows all around. Then cut each corner on the diagonal making sure you do not cut any of the needlepoint.

 Dab a small amount of glue on the back of your needlepoint and fold under all four edges.

 Let dry for a few minutes. 

 Add glue to the ring blank.

Use just enough to coat the bottom.

 The needlepoint should fit snugly into the ring.

Press in edges making sure no white canvas is showing.

Let dry and enjoy your new instant accessory!
