a few of you have asked about the amazing rope swirl tapestries in our new store displays and you’re in luck because one of our display artists put together a tutorial on how to make them! it looks like such a fun rainy day project.
what you need: a large piece of cardboard, black marker, scissors, rope in various sizes and colors, neon twine, pompoms.
use a variety of different colors and textures to create a fun swirl – these purple and orange tassels are just another piece of string woven in with the others!
once you’ve got it down, you can make a whole bunch in different sizes and colors, to create a whole wall tapestry just like the ones in our stores :) i can’t wait to try this!

gostaria de dizer da alegria em ver uma trabalho tão perfeito quanto esse, fiquei maravilhada.
Fiz uma postagem em meu blog, citando esse endereço para eventuais interessadas no tutorial.
Parabéns e Obrigada, Dolly
PERO QUE MARAVILLA DE ALFOMBRA, TE FELICITO
I love this and would love to make one similar. This tutorial is great, but it only shows how to make the large circle in the center. I was wondering about the smaller ones that just seem to be wound together. Also, how are the pom poms attached? And how did you get them all connected?!
I found this thru pinterest and I would definitely make my version of this rug:)
thanks for sharing .
I love this! How did you connect them all together?
It is amazing.beautiful idea.thanks for tutorial
Oh wow.. this is gorgeous. One day when I have more time on my hands I will try my hand at this. Thanks for the tutorial.
Looks like the back has some fabric on it, how are all the circles connected?
This is amazing.. I am hopelessly in love

How do you connect all the circles together securely? Love this idea!!!!
