1. Display your stitches in a picture frame.

Framing embroidery doesn't have to break the bank. With a little guidance, you can frame your needlework at home and get professional-looking results. In this video, we'll show you how we framed our Wildflowers Don't Care Where They Grow embroidery design. We'll walk you through the materials and steps you need to beautifully display your work in a picture frame. With just a few supplies and a little time, you'll have a custom-framed piece that's ready to showcase. 

2. Stretch your needlework over a canvas frame.

Stretching your needlework over a canvas—whether upcycled or found in the art supplies aisle—gives it a modern, minimalist look. In this video, we'll show you how we wrapped and secured our finished Moonshine embroidery design around a canvas frame. With these simple steps and a little patience (especially for those corners), you’ll have a canvas-framed piece that’s ready to display!
