Full Moon Tapestry Craft-A-Long: A 2 Week Punch Needle Experience

Two workshops. Two weeks. One full moon. And an absolutely GORGEOUS collection of punch needle tools you'll be using for years to come. 🌙 We're FINALLY taking punch needle to a whole new level with our first Punch Needle Moon Tapestry Craft-A-Long class!! Over the course of two weeks, you'll create a beautiful, textured full moon tapestry using luxurious Violet Jane rug yarn, a custom Makeshift-designed pattern, and some of our absolute ✨FAVORITE✨ punch needle tools. And we're not talking about those flimsy little embroidery hoops that barely hold your fabric tight enough to punch. We're talking about the GOOD stuff. For this Craft-A-Long, we're introducing you to the wonderful world of Oxford Punch Needle Gripper Frames, and once you've punched on one of these beauties, we genuinely don't think you'll ever want to go back. Your $255 registration includes an incredible collection of professional-quality, reusable tools, premium materials, an exclusive design, and two dedicated workshops that will take you from a blank piece of monk's cloth to a finished piece of fiber art ready to hang on your wall. And because we love a little celestial magic, of course our finishing workshop falls on the full moon itself. 🌕 The Vibe Two cozy evenings. Squishy wool. Repetitive, meditative punching. And honestly, there's something incredibly satisfying about punch needle. The rhythm of the needle, the texture of the wool, the way an image slowly comes to life as thousands of tiny loops build on top of one another. This is a project designed to be enjoyed over time, not rushed through in a single evening. We'll get you started together, send you home with everything you need to keep punching, and reunite under the full moon to turn your finished work into a beautiful piece of wall art. (We may also howl...) Why We're Obsessed With Gripper Frames If you've ever tried punch needle using a regular embroidery hoop, you know the struggle. Your fabric loosens. You stop to tighten it. You punch a little more. It loosens again. Repeat until you question all your life choices. Gripper frames change EVERYTHING. Unlike traditional hoops, Oxford gripper frames use rows of tiny angled metal teeth to securely grip your monk's cloth and keep it beautifully taut while you work. That means less stopping to adjust your fabric, more consistent punching, and a much more enjoyable experience overall. And the best part? Your 10x10" Oxford gripper frame is yours to KEEP. You'll also receive a protective frame cover (which is so necessary for preventing you from poking yourself with the gripper frame teeth) and your very own Rainbow Oxford Punch Needle, another premium tool that we absolutely love. 😍 These aren't disposable supplies for a one-time workshop. They're quality tools that will become the foundation of your punch needle collection and can be used for project after project. 🪡 Workshop #1: The New Moon Begins Tuesday, November 10 at 6 PM We'll kick off our Craft-A-Long by getting everything set up for success. 🌙 Learn how to transfer your exclusive Makeshift moon design onto your monk's cloth 🪡 Assemble your Oxford gripper frame and install the protective frame cover 🧶 Learn how to properly stretch and secure your fabric on the gripper frame 🌈 Get comfortable using your Rainbow Oxford Punch Needle ✨ Learn foundational punch needle techniques, including creating consistent loops, changing colors, and filling in your design 🙌 Begin punching your moon tapestry with guided instruction and hands-on support By the end of our first workshop, you'll have your project set up, your punching underway, and the confidence to continue working independently. Then you'll have two weeks to bring your moon to life! Work at your own pace, enjoy the meditative rhythm of punch needle, and watch your tapestry slowly take shape. 🌕 Workshop #2: Full Moon Finishing Tuesday, November 24 at 6 PM It's a (beaver) FULL MOON, and we're finishing our moons together! Once you've completed the punching portion of your tapestry, we'll come back together to learn how to turn your work into a finished piece of fiber art. ✂️ Learn how to safely remove your completed tapestry from your gripper frame 🧶 Learn how to secure and finish the back of your punch needle work ✨ Apply backing glue to help secure your stitches 🌙 Add a felt backing for a clean, polished finish 🖼️ Learn how to attach your sawtooth hanger so your moon is ready for the wall 🙌 Celebrate two weeks of making something absolutely beautiful!

Punch needle is one of those crafts where having the right tools makes an enormous difference. And rather than sending you home with inexpensive supplies that you'll immediately want to upgrade, we're starting you with the tools we genuinely love using ourselves. Your Oxford gripper frame and Rainbow Oxford Punch Needle aren't just for this moon. They're the tools you'll reach for when you decide to make your next tapestry, a pillow, a wall hanging, or whatever else your punch needle imagination dreams up. You're also getting premium wool rug yarn, a custom-designed pattern, all the materials to complete your project, and two dedicated instructional workshops covering the entire process from setup to finishing. You're not just paying to make a moon. You're investing in learning a craft and owning the tools to keep doing it. And at the end of it all? You'll have a beautiful handmade tapestry to hang on your wall as a reminder of what you created. 🌙 Who Is This For? ✨ Beginners who didn't really love punch needle the first time they tried it 🧶 Experienced punch needlers who are ready to upgrade from traditional hoops to a gripper frame 🌕 Moon lovers, fiber artists, and anyone who appreciates a little celestial magic 🪡 Makers who love immersive projects they can work on over several weeks 💜 Anyone who wants to invest in a new creative hobby they'll enjoy for years to come Registration: $255 Kickoff Workshop: Tuesday, November 10 at 6 PM Full Moon Finishing Workshop: Tuesday, November 24 at 6 PM We can't wait to punch the moon with you!! 🌕🧶🥊
