Learn how to make a folksy wall hanging

Textile group make a folksy wall hanging

From a heap of unpromising looking old clothing and material remnants, the textile taster group created striking looking folksy hangings.

An old wire hanger was turned into a metal hoop. People then tore strips of material (about 15cm by 2) and knotted them onto the hoop, combining a mix of colours and materials. We then sewed little hearts out of the same materials and filled them with lavender-infused stuffing, finishing off to create an unusual, attractive and scented hanging for the wall, window or even front door.
