Making your own rug hooking frame
I am a pretty thrifty person in many ways. I like to save my money to buy wool and backing so I figured out how to make a decent rug frame that didn’t cost too much. I found that you can purchase gripper strips from many online sources. I only wanted a small frame, so I decided to go with a purchased wood picture frame. It needs to be wood, so you can staple the gripper strips down. I chose an 11″ by 14″ frame, and ordered gripper strips to fit. Before they arrived I also purchased a wood board that I had cut to size at Lowes and a dowel. I cut the dowels with the front 2 shorter than the back to at a slant that I liked, and screwed them into place with wood screws. Then I painted my frame a really cool color, with lots of sparkles. When the gripper strips arrived I used a staple gun to tack them in place. I think the entire frame cost about 35.00 or so, and it works really well for me. Of course you could always make it smaller or larger to suit. I do have pictures, so just give a shout if you would like to see it.
Thanks!

I had got a desire to start my own firm, however I didn’t earn enough amount of cash to do it. Thank goodness my close dude suggested to utilize the loans. Thence I used the short term loan and realized my old dream.

That’s understandable that money can make people disembarrass. But what to do when somebody does not have money? The one way only is to get the mortgage loans or just credit loan.
