* marimekko DIY wall hanging
Posted on December 14th, 2006 by maitreya. Filed under Sewing/Fabric Crafts.
Becket has a really cool Marimekko wall hanging in her place. I don’t want to be a total copycat, plus I don’t have nice tall ceilings like her, so I settled for this DIY version made from a Marimekko dish towel and some stretcher bars. For my artichoke napkin panels I bought the stretcher bars online somewhere, but recently I noticed that they carry them at Michaels, waaaaay in the back. I found the dish towel at this cool modern home store in Ithaca (I was visiting to give a seminar). I also found a fantastic antiques store with a treasure trove of old buttons, linens, and all sorts of great stuff. I didn’t realize why all the fuss about bakelite buttons until I saw them in person, and suddenly they were worth $3.50 each.

The wall hanging is wonderful!
I’m not rushing you to blog it, but has your ornament arrived (shipped last Friday), if not there is still time for me to replace it ;-)
