Does anyone know any good sites or has anyone got a good and easy tutorial for how to finish cross stitch into a wall hanging?

At school we can´t frame the students´work, but I would like to hang them. I googled but the few I found were not very easy to understand for them.


Thanks

I've found this link

but I still think it's a lot of work... hope you don't have to do too many...

Don't know if this one would be any good - its for a bell pull but the same principles apply.

I made my own wallhanging/bellpull thingy. in my other stuff thread there are some progress pics of it being worked on. I'll be posting a finished pic in the next few days and I can put in a few details about how I did it if that helps?

Thank you, it would be a great help.

I found this link to a bunch of finishing tutorials just today when I was looking for one on finishing as a flat fold...

Thank you

I don't have camera handy, but I did a very simple wall hanging a few
years ago. I folded the sides back and used an iron on hem tape to hold them in place. Folded the the top over like a rod pocket on a curtain. And fringed the bottom. I put a small dowel with holes drilled in the ends thru the rod pocket and put a yarn cord attached thru the drilled holes as a hanger. This finished piece is about 8" x 11". If you don'd want to do the dowel, just attach some ribbon or a twisted cord to the top to use as a hanger. I sure wish I had a camera handy. But this was simple, quick, and cheap. It could be dressed up as much as desired. Oh, I see I did use my sewing machine to hold the rod pocket in place, but that could be hand stitched or hem taped down. It looks as though I also ran a machine stitch line above the fringe also. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does, thank you so much.
