Little Tree Drawing Mini Embroidery

My nine year old niece drew me a cute little tree and I wanted to embroider it.

I thought it would be fun to take her drawing, stitch it, frame it, and give it to her as a little gift.

Here is a photo of the original drawing.


Here it is transferred onto the fabric ready to stitch.



I used all stem stitch, since it's my favorite.


A long time ago I bought these little canvases with frames at a craft store which I thought would be perfect to finish the tree.


I stapled the fabric to the canvas (which I have written about previously here – it is my favorite way to finish my embroidery now).


Staple around all edges - pulling the fabric tight around the canvas.


Staple the corners - similiar to wrapping a present and staple.


All stapled!


Here it is all finished inside the frame and ready to send in the mail!
