Needlepoint for Seniors and Beginners
Needlepoint is a form of hand embroidery that’s done on a stiff, open weave canvas. Unlike other forms of embroidery, needlepoint isn’t simply embellishing a piece of fabric, it’s creating one. Needlepoint can be used to create practical items such as purses, belts, jewelry, keychains, and more. It’s also used to create colorful works of framed art, as the designs general cover the majority of the canvas working area.
Needlepoint is Stress Releasing
Needlepoint may look complicated, however it’s pretty easy once you learn the basic technique. The hardest part about learning needlepoint is the wide variety of stitching options available. One of the best aspects associated with this popular hobby for seniors is that it’s very affordable. All you’ll need to get started is some canvas, thread or yarn, sharp embroidery scissors, stretcher bars, and needles.
