Step 1: Find your photos
Look through old photo albums and magazines. Photocopy or print them once you have selected your subjects. The larger the photo the better as it means you will have more space paint and to sew later on.
Step 2: Bring in some colour
Start using paint to create patterns or designs over the photos. You can even add your own unique characters to the image! Wait a few minutes for the paint to dry.
Step 3: Start sewing!
Thread your needle carefully and start creating patterns onto the photo. We sewed designs around the yellow frame we painted, as well as patterns on the jumpers. Knot the thread behind the image once you are done. Be careful with the needle as you embellish the photo, particularly smaller images. and when knotting the thread once you are done.
Step 4: Display your work!
It’s time to display your artwork. You could frame it, use the artwork for an event invite or even hold on to it as a personal keepsake.
