Flosstube Extra - Framing Vlog

Summary AI

Helen D. presents a start-to-finish framing tutorial, beginning with measuring her finished piece, Quaker Snippets #3 by With Thy Needle & Thread, and calculating the frame size needed. She walks through ordering custom frames from ArtToFrames, explaining how she selects colours, dimensions, and options like foam core backing, while noting the importance of ordering multiple frames to spread shipping costs. The video then shows the frames arriving, unpacking them, and preparing the piece by ironing and pinning it to foam core, with tips on keeping the fabric straight and avoiding common mistakes like scratched corners. Helen finishes by demonstrating how to secure the fabric, trim excess, and complete the framing, mentioning tools like pins, tape, and an X-acto knife, and she references her Amazon shop for supplies.
