๐ Spring is here! Let's make some flower mirrors together(2)
3โฃ๏ธ Once you feel ready, you can start! The real work begins with the long tufting process. (It's actually quite tricky to keep the color blocks neatโwatch your lines and try not to let different colors of yarn mix together.) Don't worry if there are gaps; even if the backside looks a bit sparse, the front will still be super cute and fluffy! ๐งถ ๐ฟ๐ 4โฃ๏ธ Ask the teacher for help with some touch-ups. After that, you can trim the fluffy surface. They'll give you a razor ๐ช and small scissors (kind of like grooming a dog's fur ๐). 5โฃ๏ธ Apply glue to the back and blow-dry it until it's dry. ๐ฌ๏ธ 6โฃ๏ธ Once it's dry, you can take your masterpiece off the frame and place it on a large table to do some final trimming, cutting, and assembling. This includes installing the mirror and doing some final touches. The teacher will still be there to guide you patiently and even help speed things up! ๐ค ๐ฟ๐ The whole process was a bit tiring, but I absolutely loved the final product! It's not perfect, but it's a labor of love that blends perfectly with my home decorโit's the perfect spring touch! ๐๐ผ๐ Oh, and the studio itself is beautifully decorated. After finishing your tufting, you can take lots of photos in front of the big mirror, and the teacher will even take and print photos for you! ๐ท ๐ฟ๐ All in all, my first tufting experience was really great! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun weekend activity. ๐ #NYCSuburbs #NYCLife ๐
