Needlework Frames

Mini Needlework Frames

Needlework frames work great to house your needlework. Needlework frames are terrific for the avid person who enjoys needlework to store your designs forever. Needlework frames protect your needlework for a long time and can keep it free of dust, debris, and wear and tear. When you don’t use your needlework, it’s a great idea to buy needlework frames for protection.

Needlework Frames

Needlework frames come in many different shapes and sizes. You should contact your needlework hobby store for perhaps your best bet in finding the right sizes and styles for your needlework. Many stores sell needlework frames but framing specialty stores are usually your best bet for finding the size you need. Metal lasts virtually forever and can be much sleeker and more elegant than wood. Wood lasts a very long time as well and can be both elegant and rustic. The weathering of wood over time also adds a certain amount of personality to their homes and looks especially lovely on cottages and country estates. Stone, on the other hand, is possibly most versatile. Stone can be elegant or rustic, country or city, etched, engraved, printed, and painted and is perhaps the longest lasting and most hardwearing of any material from which an address plaque can be made. Specialty framing stores can provide you with the needlework frames that you need.

Needlework Scroll Frame

Needlework scroll frames are deeper frames that can protect your needlework from use and dirt. These symbols also tend to reflect the style or personality of the home and the people who live there. This could be something that the family feels represents them, like a family crest, a symbol of the family’s religion, ethnicity, or ancestry. Or it could be a simple expression of something the family likes or the region in which the home is located, for example a seashell if the home is near the ocean. They are essentially the same as other address plaques, but rather than being made from heavy metals or stone, they can be made from vinyl or ceramic so that they can be mounted on the house or on the front entry door. They can also be attached to the mailbox or mounted to a piece of wood or stone in the front yard of the home. Needlework frames can contain, in addition to any decoration, house numbers. These can be done in a variety of fonts, again to reflect the style of the home. In addition to the numbers, many needlework frames bear the surname of the family that lives there, the street name, or both. Many artists invest in needlework frames to protect their work.
