Rainbow Window display
I have designed a little something different whilst in lockdown.
Here is my version of the rainbow window displays that are on show across the UK. This is a nice simple design using a one square pattern and then joining as you go. Each colour is then made into stripes depending on how long you want them to be. I joined them in silver yarn but white will work just aswell. For my display I used safety pins to connect to my nets alternatively you can use white yarn to hold up. Lets work together in staying safe. Love Claire |
