Simple and practical steps/methods for making hand-embroidered greeting cards
1. Cut the cardboard into a card slightly smaller than the envelope.
2. Use a sewing machine to punch holes. Have your sewing machine ready, do not thread the needle. Sew on cardboard according to your own design. You can use techniques such as quilting, paper clipping, chain stitching or zigzag stitching to vary the distance and design of the holes. If you are very proficient in stitching, you can also try to punch two rows of parallel holes, and then use blanket stitching, feather stitching, or herringbone stitching techniques.
3. If you want to make a French knot, you can use a hand sewing needle or a sewing machine. Draw a circular area on the cardboard at the appropriate position and punch all the holes. If you want to make a small daisy, punch a small hole in the paper as the center, and then punch a circle of small holes around the perimeter using the length of the sewing machine stitch as the radius.
4. Complete the first three steps and the embroidery template is ready. It should look similar to this.
5. Now start embroidering according to the template you designed. The author reminds readers that when embroidering on cardboard, it is best to sew only one stitch at a time. If you thread a lot of needles back and forth, you will get creases in the cardboard.
6. Thread colored thread from both sides to the middle, so that the feeling of flowers comes out
7. Enjoy hand-embroidered greeting cards and play your part For your creativity, try as many stitches, patterns and colors as possible. Your creativity will surprise you!
