Tiger Lily Tufts

Design Guidelines

Please send me the design you’d like to tuft at least 48 hours before your workshop.
This gives me time to draw it onto your canvas.

If you don’t send anything, you’ll need to freehand draw your design on the day.

  • Bold shapes and block colours work best
  • Avoid too much detail (can be tricky for beginners)
  • Straight lines can be easier to tuft than curves
  • Avoid very thin lines
  • I’d suggest avoiding lettering in your design, as the working area is fairly small and detailed text can be difficult to create
  • The mirror that will be attached to your work is square – something to keep in mind when choosing a design

 

Do’s and Don'ts:

Finishing Touches:​

After the workshop, I’ll finish your piece: shaving it flat, adding the mirror, backing it with felt and adding hooks so it’s ready to hang on the wall. This takes up to 3 weeks.

Please Note:

  • Tufted mirrors are fragile and are to be handled with care.
  • To clean: Gently wipe with a damp cloth.
