No need to fret with our free fretwork patterns
Straight lines and simple geometric shapes have never looked so beautiful, so why not treat yourself to a whole bunch of free fretwork patterns and see what stunning pieces you can craft from the comfort of your own home.
These patterns can be cut out of card, wood or thin metal using your Cricut or Sizzix machine, and would make beautiful frames, pieces of wall art or even lovely greeting cards for your friends. You could paint the finished cut pattern with gold or silver paint to be more reminiscent of metalwork than wood, if you prefer that aesthetic.
If you’re feeling particularly ambitious and have some DIY or carpentry skills, then your chosen fretwork pattern could become a big part of your house or outdoor space. Swap out your crafting machine for a buzz saw (safely!) and use your pattern as a blueprint to make your own room separator, window pane, mirror frame or, with enough wood, you could construct your own pagoda or cabana! What better way to bring a touch of Morocco or Greece to your home decor - and it all starts with a simple download!
