Very easy. The wood's quite soft and easy to sand any rough bits off. I placed the frame against thepricking to mark where I wanted the holes (every 4th loop on the edging) and then used a bradawl to make an indent to guide the drill. Used a mini handheld electric drill with a reasonable sized bit so that a needle could be passed both ways and without snagging the thread already there on the way from the inside to the outside.

Was it difficult to drill holes through the bars? I've only worked a couple of the butterflies from Kortelahti's book and found it quite a fiddle opening out the paper string. The square framed pictures are on my to do list one day.
