About the final project for: Decorative Frame Loom Tapestry: Explore Volume and Texture

Nail Loom Decorative Tapestry: Explore textures and volumes

“We have reached the end of our course and I want to say thank you! It was a great pleasure to share with you some of my main processes and I hope you enjoyed the experience of entering my imagination! Before saying goodbye, here are some tips for your final project: Define the layout for your tapestry: Develop a simple sketch that will guide the proportions of your piece.

Stretch the warp thread on the loom.
Start the process of weaving your tapestry. The most advisable way to start the wefts is at the bottom of your loom.
Take the tapestry off the loom. This step also includes finishing the back of the piece.
Make the final touches: cut the length of the fringes, shape the volumes better, place the rod to hang the tapestry on the wall, etc.
I would also like to share with you a good tip for cleaning your upholstery: when you notice that the piece is dusty, or even when it has been stored for a long time, use a hair dryer in cold ventilation mode to eliminate unwanted residues . I'm curious to see what you produce, so be sure to publish your final project. Take this moment to share your experience and comment on your colleagues' projects! I will comment on your work and answer your questions whenever possible. Thanks for joining my course! Until later!”
