Tatted Medallion (Full Project Tutorial!) - Needle Tatting



I love this quick and easy tatted medallion. Great for beginner tatters and experts alike. Very versatile, with endless uses. Let your imagination run wild, and your creativity guide you. 

For a few of the medallions that I made, I  hand sewed them on to headbands, for a fun and casually cute look (see photos below). 





For full project tutorial please watch the video below. 

And remember, if at any point this video is moving too fast for you, and you would like to take it slower, and get a better look at what I just did or follow along, YouTube has a video speed adjuster/slow motion setting, that is great to make use of.

Happy Tatting!
