Also known as Florentine work, bargello embroidery is created from upright stitches laid out in geometric and vibrant patterns. It’s incredibly easy to pick up and only needs minimal supplies, some you might already have lying around in your craft room. Here Amanda Walker guides you through a handy how-to for a planter we just know you’ll want to have proudly on display!
From the plastic canvas, cut a rectangle measuring 21 squares wide and 94 squares long, making sure that the edges are smooth and free from any sharp points. The chart is designed to fit around a small tin but can be adjusted to fit your plant. The pattern is repeated along the rectangle six times.
