PUNCH NEEDLE

A Form of Embroidery

Punch needling is a form of embroidery that starts with a piece of Monks cloth placed in a standard embroidery hoop or frame. You then use embroidery floss to punch through the fabric with a punch needle, making a small tuft of floss, similar to a rug. Punch needle projects make really pretty wall art, or you can make things like pillow covers, patches on fabric totes or denim jackets, stuffed animals, and even rugs. It’s the perfect activity if you’re looking for some sort of mindfulness that involves movement.
