I’ve always been drawn to any kind of embroidery…I love the delicate detail it adds to clothing or everyday items. I love adding little stitches and touches of embroidery to my denim to make it unique and add character, and lately I’ve had the idea of embroidering wood on the brain. At first it may seem incredibly difficult, but with just a few supplies and one handy tool, it’s pretty easy to do. I tried it out on a picture frame and a jewelry box, and I can’t wait to experiment some more!
What you need: A power drill with a thin bit, pieces of wood (thinner wood will be easier — I got this frame and small jewelry box at A.C. Moore), embroidery thread, and a pencil.
Mark where you want to drill with pencil first so that you are comfortable with your pattern, and then drill the holes using the power drill.
Thread the embroidery floss through the holes as you wish! The frame was a great practice run for the jewelry box.
I love how the little jewelry box turned out. It would make a great gift for someone!

Awesome project! I can’t wait to try!
This is beautiful <3 It would also be rad to do this to a piece of wood and then just hang it on the wall. Love!
