Start Here: 3.5 minutes to get an overview of this simple craft
Most people get the hang of it within 10 minutes.
Push the tool through the fabric, pull it back out, move over, and repeat. That's it.
The motion becomes intuitive quickly, and watching each shape fill with texture is part of the fun.
1. Thread the tool
Yarn feeds through the center of the punch needle.
2. Fill in the shapes
Punch along the pre-printed design, filling each shape with color.
3. Show it off
Your canvas comes pre-stretched, so when you're finished, your artwork is ready to display.
