It is impossible not to admire the flowers, which are so reminiscent of living bouquets. One gets the impression that if you get close to such work, you can even catch a slight aroma.
How to make such beauty with your own hands? Today we want to talk about this.
Features of creating a picture from satin ribbons
Embroidery is not only cross stitches or satin stitches. To a person far from needlework, this may seem like a real fantasy. After all, at first glance, it may seem that it is impossible to embroider something with ribbons.
Each embroidery kit comes with instructions, so even a beginner can cope with the task.
If you do the job correctly, the fabric will not tear. The puncture must be made into the tape, and then into the fabric. Due to this, the work will be voluminous, and puncture marks will not remain on the fabric.But if you need to make a flat sheet, then the puncture must be made directly into the fabric itself.
A needle for embroidery with satin ribbons is provided in the kit itself. If the needle accidentally breaks or you decide to purchase all the tools separately, then it is better to use a large needle with a large eye for this work.
The embroidery with satin ribbons is quite massive. It is best to frame it, where there will be additional space between the embroidery and the glass. You can buy it in specialized craft shops. Due to this, the picture will look three-dimensional even under glass.
Note! For embroidery you will need pliers. You can use small pliers, which are used when collecting jewelry at home. Embroidery is not an easy job, and each stitch requires effort. It is with the help of pliers that you can pull the needle out from the wrong side.
What is needed to create a painting
To learn the basics of embroidery, we recommend that you visit craftsmen’s circles in your city. This will help you understand the technology and learn a lot of new things for yourself. If such a possibility no, then you can watch several online master classes.
You can start embroidery only after all materials have been purchased. You can buy everything you need at any craft supply store. You can buy a ready-made embroidery kit. But experienced craftsmen still prefer to buy everything separately.
First, you need to decide what kind of ribbons the work will be done - silk or satin. Each variety has both pros and cons. Silk ones are made of natural material, and satin ones are made of synectics.That is why satin ones are considered a more budget option.
Disadvantages of silk ribbons:
- wrinkle quickly;
- shed very often;
- fade when exposed to sunlight.
Advantages of satin ribbon:
- durable;
- long service life;
- absorb moisture well.
It is also necessary to check all the tapes for shedding, because after the work is done it will be too late to do this, even if only one tape sheds, it can completely ruin the work.
The main element for embroidery is a needle. Simple sewing needles are not suitable in this case. When purchasing a needle, consider the following:
- a fly should be placed in the eye of the needle;
- the end of the needle should be blunt;
- no rust.
If you have chosen a complex design, it must be applied to the fabric before you begin the work. Buy a special marker for needlework. A simple marker can leave a mark on the canvas, so in this case its use is strictly prohibited.
In addition, you will need:
- scissors;
- lighter;
- matches;
- pliers.
How to embroider a picture with satin ribbons for beginners: instructions
First you need to pick up a needle and thread the ribbon through it. This is much easier to do if you cut the end at a sharp angle. The ends of each ribbon are seared before use.
After the needle is ready for work, we recommend that you work on elementary stitches, and only after that start doing the work.
Very often bags are decorated with embroidered roses. After the work is completed, it is necessary to singe all the ends so that they do not crumble.
Don't just stop at embroidering flowers. After all, there are many different schemes with which you can create amazing pictures.
In addition, such works will look even more chic if you add beads, sequins and other decorative elements. Volumetric ribbon embroidery will be an excellent decoration for blankets and pillows. This is how you can make kanzashi. Don’t be afraid to show your imagination, study photos with examples and you will succeed!
