How it works

Four quiet moves

No needle, no thread, no glue. The template does the drawing for you.

  1. Peel

    Lift the backing off one section of the foam pad.

  2. Place

    Lay the matching fabric piece over it. It holds on contact.

  3. Tuck

    Tuck the fabric into the lines of the design with the tool.

  4. Trim

    Trim the extra fabric, tuck the last threads, move to the next section.

Level 3 · 21 designs

Questions

Before you start

What is Kinusaiga?

A Japanese craft where you tuck pieces of fabric into the lines of a foam pad, section by section, until the picture is complete. No needle, no thread.

What else do I need?

What if I put a piece in the wrong place?

Pull it back out and tuck it again. There is spare fabric in the box too.

Is a frame included?

Yes. Every kit comes with a natural wooden frame, so your finished panel is ready to hang.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Each kit comes in its own box. Add gift kits for other people in the same order.

Where do you ship?

To the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
