A PAIR OF LIONS: LEARNING TO CROSS STITCH

Send

Cross-stitching is a rather painstaking and long task. It requires patience, perseverance, as well as a lot of free time. However, the end justifies the means: pictures embroidered with multi-colored threads fascinate with their beauty. If you want to please a loved one with an original holiday gift, make it yourself. A pair of golden lions on the canvas - such a surprise will appeal to both a woman and a man!
To get started, you will need the following items:
1. Gold threads.
2. A sharp needle.
3. Scissors.
4. White canvas.
5. Hoop (optional).
6. Scheme.
Gently unfold the canvas, thread the gold thread into the eye of the needle. If you are used to embroidering with a hoop, place the fabric in the rim. You need to start work from the upper left corner: this way you will not get lost when you transfer the drawing from the diagram.

Pass the needle into the upper hole on the right side and make a careful diagonal stitch. Next, pull the needle from the upper left corner and complete the first cross. Embroider the pattern in the direction according to your pattern.

After the picture is embroidered, it is necessary to gently wash the fabric in cool water, and then iron it with the wrong side. For such a picture, a bright massive frame of brown or gold colors is suitable. Good luck
