Do you know "Paper Embroidery"? ♡
"Paper Embroidery" is, as the name suggests, the art of embroidering on paper instead of fabric. With a different charm than fabric, paper embroidery is rapidly gaining popularity among handmade-loving girls! ♡
The way you stitch on paper is slightly different from fabric, but once you grasp the technique, it can be easier than fabric! There are many versatile arrangements, and it's so cute that I really want you to give this paper craft a try! ♩
I want to send messages with warm paper embroidery! ♡
Each stitch, made with love, creates paper embroidery, making it perfect for sending gratitude like "thank you" or celebration like "congratulations" on many occasions like weddings! Let's convey your feelings to your loved ones with a message card made using paper embroidery.*
Here's a warm DIY method for creating "Paper Embroidery"! ♩
Paper Embroidery DIY *Materials*
You only need five essential materials: 【paper, thread, needle, pen, masking tape】! Since these materials are easily obtainable, even beginners can feel free to try it out! ♡
Paper Embroidery DIY *How to Make*
① First, decide on your design and sketch it on the paper. After drawing the draft, poke holes with a needle in the areas you want to stitch. Since paper can become noticeable once it's pierced, be careful and do it gently! ♡
② Now it's finally time to start embroidering! Secure the end of the thread on the back with masking tape (or tie a knot), and start stitching using a backstitch technique. The backstitch means that you go back into the hole you initially stitched from and then bring the needle forward from there and continue. ♩ Be careful not to pull the thread too tightly while stitching! ♡
Once you finish all the stitching, secure the end of the thread on the back with masking tape again, and your paper embroidery is complete! ♡ It's recommended to start with a simple design. As you get used to it, you'll be able to create all kinds of arrangements! ♩
