Craft club- Chicken scratch( tenneriffe lace, snowflaking or Amish Embroidery)

I go to a fortnightly craft club and this week we learn't something called chicken scratch. It was simpler than I thought as stitching doesn't come naturally to me. Just wanted to show you what my first attempt looked like.





I enjoyed it so much I am going to do more.

Picture Frames- paper craft Thursday

Its not really a paper craft but I did use paper.. Join paper craft thursdays .

I am doing some picture frames with the craft club I belong too in the next month or so and wanted to share with you some attempts.



I brought a cheap plain flat wooden frame and jazzed it up. You can personalize it to your own tastes. Bottom two are made from mini tiles with a grouting base, middle one is paper flowers layered, second one is an animal style frame and the top one was material flowers and butterflies , these three used PVA glue. It seals it and its transparent.
It makes a cheap frame look funky and stylish.
