Punch Needle Embroidery is achieved using a special hollow needle that has an eye in which to thread wool or cotton floss. This thread is 'punched' onto weaver's cloth, wool or any closely woven fabric that is kept taut on a special hoop or frame. Loops are formed on the 'right' side of the fabric to create a design that's been printed on the 'wrong' side.

Punch Needle Bottle Cap Snowflakes
We don't get much snow in sunny Florida so these neat one~of~a~kind snowflakes are just the ticket! They're guaranteed not to melt too! They'd be perfect to hang on your ornie tree all winter long. These are double-sided ornaments...the front looks just as good as the back! The bottle cap snowmen are needle punched with wool threads. The reverse shows a matching snowflake with pearl bead accents. They've also been spritzed with my walnut ink mixture for a warm prim look.

Each snowflake is made with bumpy chenille stems, lightly tea stained and dusted with mica flakes. Rusty bells tinkle on each tip. Each ornament measures about 4 1/2 inches from tip to tip. A long piece of off-white waxed linen serves as the hanger.

$12 each

Love Birds Punch Needle Butter Paddle

This is one of my favorite items to use to showcase my punchins'!

This antique wooden butter paddle is the perfect place for the warm, rich, wooly colors of the threads. For this butter paddle, I was inspired by the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs that you see on all the barns that dot the countryside. I've needle punched it onto weaver's cloth using quality wool threads in rich prim shades of blue, dark green, gold and maroon and a yummy overdyed thread for the scallop border. As a finishing touch, I've placed a hand twisted wool cording around the piece with that same background color thread. It's signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!]. I've also added a piece of suede cording so you can hang it from a cupboard peg or knob of your choosing.

The butter paddle measures about 8 1/2" tall by 4" wide.
The punched piece measures about 3 1/4" tall by 3 1/2" wide.

Primitive Feather Tree with Punch Needle Bottle Cap Ornaments 

A Punchin' Fool Original, this prim feather tree is one-of-a-kind and very unique! I've placed a crooked, skinny, sweet smelling cinnamon stick in a large wooden spool and twisted some  small needled pine garland for the branches.  Red wooden beads are on each branch tip.  The spool is a nice barn red with brown antiquing stain. All of the ornaments are punched in warm prim colors and spritzed with my walnut ink concoction.

They look much brighter in the pictures but they're a rich, warm, prim shade.  All of the ornaments are removeable. I hope to make more for the different holidays too! Rusty wire serves as their hangers.   There are 11 ornaments total~1 larger star tree topper, 3 unique snowguys, 3 snowflakes, 2 stars and 2 peppermint candies.

The entire tree measures about 10 3/4 inches tall, from the bottom of the wooden spool to the tippy top of the star tree topper. It is about 5 1/2 inches wide, measuring from the bottom most branch.  The entire piece is signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].

NEW Primitive Sampler What-Not Box  

This sweet little box is sure to please any punchin' fan!
What a nice way to keep your secret treasures, buttons or 'what-nots'  for safe keeping.  I've punched this little pillow sampler with wool threads on weaver's cloth using prim shades of red, blue, green, creamy yellow and off white. I gave it a tea and walnut ink bath so it's muted and soft. I've  stitched it onto a piece of burgandy wool felt, lightly stuffed it and blanket stitched it all around.  It's a little puffy in all the right places. It's been stitched to the lid of a papier mache box that's been painted a drab Army green and antiqued

On the inside of the lid you'll find a homespun yo-yo with a cinnamon dough heart button to make the box smell extra yummy. A piece of wool felt has been secured to the box bottom to protect your treasures. The box measures 2 3/4 inches square and is about 2 1/2 inches tall, with the punched pillow on top of the lid.  This box has been signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].  
I hope you like it!

NEW Something to Crow About PinKeep 

This one-of-a-kind pin keep is sure to please any crow lover!   It's punched using quality wool threads in shades of black, charcoal, gold, tan and khaki. I've stitched it onto a piece of warm brown wool felt and tucked some lavender buds in between to make it smell nice.  I've added a little pillow of sand to the inside of the pin keep so your needles and pins will stay nice and sharp. This also gives the pin keep some weight so it stays on your work table nicely.  The entire piece is then blanket stitched all around. I added some vintage buttons from Grandmom's button box too!  The punched piece measures about 3 inches square. The entire pin keep measures about 4 inches square. An original design from The Punchin' Fool. Hope you like it!

A little behind bunny
This is another Punchin' Fool original design that's full of whimsy and FUN!  I've used some lighter colors of wool threads this time to highlight this bunny's character.   His cottontail has been punched a tad longer to give it some dimension too.  The entire piece has been lightly spritzed with a staining solution for a nice muted effect. I've used a vintage quart size Ball zinc canning jar lid as the frame. He'd love to hop into your home to help spread the joy! Measures about 3" round. Signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].

Little Sheep Scissor Fob and Needle Keep

I love to punch up goodies that are not only purdy to look at but are useful too!  The scissor fob  [on the left] features a sweet little sheep punched in ecru and tan wool threads with a Robin's egg blue background. A scallop of a rosy, rusty overdyed wool floss completes the design. It is just the right size to pin onto your shirt so you'll always have your favorite scissors handy. I've blanket stitched two rosy colored wool hearts together so the pin isn't flimsy and floppy when wearing it. I've sewn a sturdy pin to the back of the wool heart and attached a foot long homespun braid with a vintage button and loop to hold your snips. The needle case [on the right] is lined with a matching homespun fabric and a smaller wool felt heart is blanket stitched on the inside for your needles. I've attached a piece of waxed linen as a 'hinge' so it's easy to open and close. Both pieces measure about 2 1/2" wide by about 3" tall. The punched design on the scissor fob measures about 2" by 2 1/2" and the sheep on the needle case is 1 1/4" by 2". They're each signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].

A wooly hand twisted cording is placed around the edge for a finishing touch.  The entire piece has been lightly spritzed with a staining solution for a nice muted effect. I've used a vintage quart size Ball zinc canning jar lid as the frame. He'd be purrrr-fectly content sitting on your prim shelf or tucked in the arms of your favorite raggedy dollie!
Measures about 3" round and almost 1" deep. Signed and dated by The Punchin' Fool [that's me!].
