Summary
Christmas decoration – In this class, you will learn how to make this exquisite Christmas decoration. You will embroider with gold and silver purls, pearl purl, embroidery thread and glass beads and sequins. The techniques of couching, chipping and loop stitch will be covered to create this design.
We will begin by reviewing the pre-work. The pre-work required is stitching the pearl purl around the edges and the shapes. It is around 4h00 and instructions and a video will be provided.
The chipping will be initiated on the bigger area to create a different texture. Stitching of the leaves with embroidery thread will highlight the details.
We will create the flower to define the centre with loop stitch in purls. Finally we will highlight the design with seed beads. We will also make the embroidery as a Christmas decoration.
This class is aimed at someone who has knowledge of embroidery but would like to learn how to create this beautiful christmas decoration.
Each kit includes: detailed instructions, yellow guterman thread, invisible thread, green embroidery thread, gilt passing, gilt pearl purl, gilt smooth purl, gilt bright check purl, silver plated smooth purl, glass beads, sequins, beeswax, different size needles, white parkin, white satin fabric with design printed on and bondaweb.
