The original plan we found used wood and cut out a tapestry like thing to hang over the entrance of the "castle". I plan to sew our family coat of arms. My oldest had to do one as a class project and it was way easier than we thought.<br /><br />Print out your family coat of arms and enlarge it to the size you want (plus a regular sized one as a guideline). Trace over the lines with black marker and then cut out each individual section. Pin to fabric and cut. Use iron on fabric adhesive. Iron together on the large back fabric. Then go back and zigzag around each of the "seams". Presto! You have your very own family coats of arms!!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154288064691127110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419560335822669387.post-34203732784237773492012-07-28T22:01:25.227-06:002012-07-28T22:01:25.227-06:00I'd love to see pics of your tapestries!

I went to joanns fabric bought some upholstery fabric, light curtain backing (to hide thee seams) and some cording (with cord edging so I didn't have to hand sew the cording) I made my own tapersty at a fraction of what it would cost to buy one.

She bought a stencil about 12-14" high of a W - her last name initial, stenciled it on the wall and then painted a flag of sorts around it. You know, the ones that hang from the trumpet to announce the guests to the castle? I can see you printing this on burlap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419560335822669387.post-17266534369756456802011-01-09T20:19:48.339-07:002011-01-09T20:19:48.339-07:00Wow!
