Since my little sheep embroidery is a gift, I decided to mount it on a tiny canvas.
This is actually the third post I have done about mounting embroidery on canvas (I have previously posted about it here and here) but I figured why not do another one - especially since this embroidery is very small - the canvas size is 2 inches by 2 inches.
So let's get started!
First - just for fun - I placed a quarter next to the embroidery to give you an idea of the actual size.
1. Lay out your embroidery and place the canvas on top - trying to center it as best you can.
2. Pulling the fabric tight - staple the center of each side.
3. If your canvas is larger - you will work your way around the canvas, stapling towards each corner. But since this is so small, I only needed one staple per side.
4. For the corners, I wrapped the fabric like a present and stapled it down. Then trim the fabric to make it look nice!

Now, it will be shipped off to it's new home! :)
Love your embroidery, such a sweet little sheep! I made a purse with an embroidered sheep, I've been meaning to post pictures one day.
