Mandalas are always a great quick project to do. I really enjoy making them if i get bored of a large project, or just want something colourful to do that I can finish in an afternoon or night. There are heaps of patterns online and Pintrest is a great place to start. Cotton is the best fiber to work with as it keeps it shape, plus the colours are amazing! I find using a smaller than usual hook also helps as you don’t want it to become too open and lacey. I framed one of my recent mandalas which looks super cool on my wall! In the future i plan on framing a whole bunch to create a unique wall art collection.
I love this design — I hate to ask .. but is there a pattern for this as I really like it . Sometimes the Mandala designs intimidate me

I never really understood mandalas because I didn’t know what to do with them even though I think they’re really cool. I’m loving the idea of a framed wall art though. I think I might actually start all the patterns I’ve saved for them.

What a great idea, I never thought about framing them. That would work in the guest bedroom and I could change the mandala with the season.

I love the look of the framed mandala. I’ve seen them stitched to hoops before which also looks nice, but framed really puts it over the top!! 😀
