Creating a postcard
Selection of material
Any work begins with the selection of materials.In our case, it is better to think about such things in advance. For example, you can take a thread not metallic, but ordinary lurex. This is in case you want the embroidery to shine. Although it is quite replaceable with a green or other color floss thread. As your imagination suggests. It is also possible to use iris, silk or thin wool. But these materials do not have a very large color palette. Therefore, if you make a Christmas tree with shades, the best choice is floss. New Year is a magical holiday, which means you can experiment with the most creative ideas.
The same applies to the color of the cardboard.There are no restrictions here. An organic combination of shades is perhaps the only thing that can be highlighted in this matter. In addition to cardboard, velvet paper can be used in the isonit technique. But it is much more difficult to embroider on such material, since it does not have plasticity. Due to this feature, the base can tear with an accidental jerk or uncontrolled tension. Some craftsmen prefer to use watercolor paper. It is quite dense and has an unusual texture. On this base, you can embroider even with thick woolen threads.
The size of the postcard is possible. But for beginners it is not worth using too large schemes. It is better to hone skills on small images.
As for the embroidery needle in the techniqueisonit, then in this case everything depends on the density of the paper. The thinner the base, the smaller the needle you will have to use. You should also use a thimble. It will not only protect your fingers from being pricked while embroidering, but will also help if you make punctures on the cardboard with a needle.
Manufacturing process First you need to create a sketch. It's better to draw on thin white paper. Our Christmas tree will consist of triangles.
On the material we draw geometric figures in the required order.
The lines of each triangle must be divided into equal segments. A pencil and a ruler will be useful for this process.
In case you are doing such work with the isonit method for the first time, it is better if there is a corresponding numerical value next to each point. This will prevent confusion in the order of thread pulling.
The finished diagram is placed on a cardboard sheet andfixed. You can use regular metal office paper clips for this. But such holders have one significant drawback. During use, any paper is significantly deformed. After removing the paper clips, the cardboard will no longer straighten out, and noticeable dents will remain. Therefore, it is better to use special paper clips.
Then, using a thick needle, you should pierce alongmarked points of the picture. The result is a workpiece with holes, and we will pull the threads through them. No hole is made at the top of the corner. In addition to the needle, a thin awl or a sewing pin can be used for this purpose (depending on the thickness of the thread used). You can make holes overhead, but it is much more convenient to do this on the table, placing a porous material under the workpiece. An unnecessary piece of linoleum or foam plastic will do just fine.
The next stage of embroidery using the isonit techniqueinsert the thread into the needle and start working. While making the design, make sure that the thread does not get tangled. If this does happen, pull it back and unravel it. Do not continue embroidering. This will not only complicate the work, but also make the design unsightly. If the thread runs out, do not tie a knot. Just secure the end with glue from the back side and continue embroidering with new material. Do not pull the thread too tightly while working. The Christmas tree is embroidered on paper, so there is a risk that the product will simply become deformed. But you should not embroider too loosely either. In this case, the pattern will be difficult to see.
We will embroider using the isonit techniquecorner filling. It is better to start embroidery from the bottom. From the back of the cardboard, thread the needle through the first hole. Carefully watch the end of the thread so that it does not slip through.
On the face we put it through the second hole and return it to the inside. Again we pass it through the third hole.
We embroider all the elements of the pattern in this way. Each time we fix the thread with glue.
A piece of cardboard or any other paper of the appropriate size must be glued to the back of the finished product.
If you want to make a double card.Before starting work, it is necessary to fold a sheet of cardboard in half. In this case, the size of the paper should be taken into account. Since for a double product, the sheet should be taken twice as large. In this case, holes should be made only on one half of the workpiece.
You can use one pattern in the isonit techniquemake different New Year cards. A web of threads looks quite original when creating a scrap. The simplest technique of filling the corner will allow you to create an elegant and amazing work of art. Well, and fantasy will help to realize the most creative and unusual ideas. New Year is an unusual, fantastic holiday. The same is true for cards made using the thread graphics technique.
