The first experience of wool tapestry
Today, the sun shines in the room through the window, and I feel particularly comfortable. I decided to try to make a wool tapestry and start a creative and warm manual journey. Early in the morning, I prepared all kinds of materials: different colors of wool, sticks, scissors, rings and so on. Looking at these colorful yarns, countless possible tapestry patterns have emerged in my mind. First, I assembled sticks and rings as the framework of the tapestry. This process is not complicated, but it makes me look forward to the next steps. Then, I selected several kinds of wool of my favorite color and began to wind it on the frame. The soft touch of wool makes my heart very tender. I decided to start with a simple pattern, so I chose a stripe design. I carefully wound the wool of one color tightly around the stick to ensure that every turn was neat and even. Then change another color and repeat the process. Watching different colors of wool appear alternately, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously. In the process of making, I also encountered some minor problems. Sometimes the wool will not be wound tightly enough, and if it is loose, I have to untie it patiently and rewind it. Another time, I accidentally messed up the wool and spent a lot of time sorting it out. But these small setbacks did not discourage me, but made me more focused and serious. As time goes on, my wool tapestry gradually takes shape. The colorful stripes seem to be beautiful memories in life, intertwined and full of warmth and stories. I imagine that hanging it on the wall of the room will definitely add a warm and artistic atmosphere to the whole space. When I finally finished this wool tapestry, my heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. This small handmade product is not only an ornament, but also a work of art created with my heart. It bears witness to my patience, hard work and creativity. Through this experience of making wool tapestries, I deeply realized the charm of handwork. In this fast-paced era, we are often busy with all kinds of trivial matters and have little time to calm down and do something we like. Handmade let me slow down, enjoy the process of creation, and let me feel the little beauty in life. I decided to try more hand-made products in the future to add more color and warmth to my life.
