To Complete:
Weave in all ends. It is essential that all the pieces are blocked to help achieve a flat and correct shape.
Make the pieces wet, gently roll them dry in a towel and then pin out leaving for at least 24 hours.
Use craft wire to help keep the pieces flat and keep their shape once hanging. Thread the craft wire onto
your yarn needle and pull though the back of the pieces as shown. This is particularly important for the
lighthouse and seagull.
Insert drawing pins to the back of your driftwood. This is where the motifs will be attached to.
Each motif is attached to the driftwood with a length of chains. The following lengths were used for the wall
hanging as photographed but you may want to make more or less chains depending on the shape of your
wood.
Lighthouse: join with black to centre of top row, ch10, fasten off
Fish: join with slate to top of fish in 4th st along from tail, ch20, fasten off
Beach Hut: join with red to centre top of roof edging, ch10, fasten off
Sailboat: join with blue mix to top of mast, ch15, fasten off
Seagull: join with white to st between wing 2 and head, ch15, fasten off
Attach a picture hook to the rear of the driftwood ready for hanging on the wall…Enjoy!
