Pegboard Cross Stitch

Several days ago I found an interesting idea: Pegboard Cross Stitch. Much like the wood cross stitch pendents or phone cases, the pre-drilled holes are used to stitch playful designs.

Here are a few examples pegboard cross stitch from Pinterest.

This DIY is perfect for wall art, and I have a lot of empty walls! I see at trip to my local hardware store in my future!

Cross-Stitch Wall Art

By now you may have read this early 2011 interview of freelance designer and illustrator Eline Pellinkhof. Eline's book, "Eline's Huis", is written in Dutch, but the beautiful photographs tell the story of her creative home.

I would love paint cross-stitch flowers on the walls of my craft room. The walls are a mid-blue, so I think I would use navy blue, white, bronze and silver. 

Of course I would add stars to the design.
