Looking at such drawings, you immediately want to embroider them using the cross-stitch technique. We invite you to consider in this article a small master class on embroidering a beautiful fairy and at least on canvas to realize your dreams.
Fairy with golden wings
For work on embroidery in the technique of the cross, the following materials are used, which are described in this list:
- colored yarn floss;
- Threads with metallized impregnations;
- Linen cloth;
- An embroidery scheme with a cross and a frame;
- Beads and beads for decoration, as well as monofilament.
The size of the material should be fifty byseventy centimeters. The fairy is embroidered with a cross stitch using floss threads in two folds, excluding some areas on her wings, which should be done with a half cross stitch. Start working with the wings, and immediately make a back stitch. The middle should be decorated with a metallic thread of silver color. They will turn out with a beautiful shimmer, and will look a little airy. Near the body of the fairy, the wings are embroidered with threads with metallic inclusions and pinkish floss.
The face, like the hands and body of the fairy, is made using the technique"petit point" in one addition. The stitches are a bit like tapestry embroidery. They are made through each thread of the material. Although the work is very painstaking and time-consuming, the result will surprise you very much, as the result looks as if it was just painted.
It is very interesting to embroider this pattern due to the fact thatthat bright colors set a positive mood. Leave the places that need to be embroidered with beads empty for a while. Only after you have washed the product with your own hands, and then dried and ironed with a warm iron, you can move on to beads and beads. Decorative material is sewn only with monofilament, since it is completely invisible on the canvas and looks like a thin fishing line. It is not necessary to use a passport in the design, you can buy a beautiful vintage frame with a gold or silver coating. This frame will only emphasize all the fabulousness of the cross-stitched fairy.
Little fairy and elf
Another embroidery is called "Moonlight".It is done on linen fabric of light or grayish tones, which will play the role of the sky. Most of the canvas will remain without stitching, so it is recommended to use linen or cotton. The materials you will need for the work are almost the same as those described above in the text, with the exception of colored floss.
Take the material with a small reserve, approximatelythe extra ones should be 5 or 6 centimeters. Hem the edges and insert the fabric into the hoop. You need to embroider the fairy and the elf using the cross stitch technique in two folds. The key uses approximately 30 color shades. It will not be difficult to embroider the moon, but it will be a little more difficult to design the fairy and the elf due to the presence of several types of stitches, as well as due to the introduction of beads. Use the back stitch to outline the contours of the moon and the mushroom. Also make stitches along the contours of the elf's and fairy's clothes. The thread should be in one fold.
The grass near the mushroom is made with a stem stitchin two folds. The wreath on the hair must be embroidered with a cross from a silk thread, and some flowers are decorated with a stem stitch from the central part to the edges over the cross. Do this technique on all the flowers, and they will look a little voluminous. The cording technique is performed on the boy's belt. You need to twist a small rope from silk threads and sew it with almost invisible stitches. After washing and drying the product, sew the beads to the wreath on the head.
As a result, you will get a fabulous embroidery of a fairy incross technique, which is steeped in legends and stories about them. Frame the product in a light material so that the picture stands out. Now you can hang it where it will attract attention.
