Anyone can use a doll house craft like this one to show off a few of their own needlework skills.
The fancy trim work on this miniature tapestry is much easier to make than it looks. All you need are some unusual yarns to tack around the shapes, to give it texture and pizzazz!
Parents could supply their young ones with fabric glue and make this project a no-sew application if they need to.
I made this modern tapestry for our doll house using the following supplies:
Supply List:
- three or four interesting, fuzzy yarn scraps
- a fabric scrap, modern dot pattern
- embroidery floss
- beads for the hanger
- a long wooden skewer or dowel
- hot glue
- fabric glue (optional)
- Cut and layer shapes with yarn trims onto one piece of select fabric for this tapestry.
- Use either threads and a needle for the craft or fabric glue if you do not know how to sew yet.
- You can choose to use any sewing stitch or color combinations to make an abstract version of this craft similar to my own example.
- After you have finished your design, fold over a piece of fabric measuring approximately 1/2 inch at the top of your tapestry and sew it to the backside with a whip stitch or glue it in place if you prefer. This will create a long, narrow pocket for you to insert the dowel rod or wooden skewer.
- Hot glue beads at either end to hold the wooden dowel in place. Now you can tie a yarn at either end to hang the doll sized tapestry on any wall in your own doll house.
