One of my favorite gifts to give is to put a great piece of needlepoint into a self-finishing bag, accessory or ornament.
It is so easy to do and is a great gift. That’s why I was so delighted when Robin King over at Needlepoint Study Hall put together this awesome tutorial on exactly how to do it.
The finished item is a Stirling tote, but the process is the same for any item that uses sticky film for inserting the needlepoint. With the rise in popularity of self-finishing tems, there are lots of items you can finish this way.
With these great pictures and instructions you can finish yourself, even if you have been afraid to try in the past.
