A craft once reserved for your nan’s social group - cross stitching is back with vengeance. The delicate embroidery dating back to the dawn of time has proved popular once again, displaying your favourite ‘phat tracks’ from lyrical styling’s such as Rick Ross to DMX.
Cross-stitch is one of the oldest forms of embroidery, involves a steady hand and a good ole’ fashion tea spoon of patience. The easiest way to put thread to linen involves a design template which can be bought or printed at home. Choose from a multitude of colours an embroidery needle and start stitchin’!
Once you’re done with your design you can mount it in a fab vintage frame, lovingly sew it onto a gloriously frumpy pillow or house it in its original stitch frame for a statement decorative piece.
Don’t keep this decorative piece to yourself, These giggle-worthy pieces make a great present for the light hearted and rap music endorsees. Show a friend how much you care by decorating their living room wall or foyer with one of these ironically unique pieces.
The reason we’re crazy about this trend is simple – it’s brilliant! We can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday with our grannies than sharing a cup of tea whilst bickering about which Biggy Smalls lyric to appropriate into an embellishment. This trend is a testament to interior design and how it doesn’t have to take itself so seriously all the time.
