You can embroider on cardboard using the most common methods, only slightly adapted for working with paper. Schemes can be made in a wide variety of themes.
Materials for embroidery
Paper
Very often for embroidery they use a specialcorrugated paper. Its advantage is that it resembles a regular canvas. That is, it has ready-made holes and no additional processing is needed. It is very convenient to cross stitch on such material. It is an excellent option for beginner craftswomen. Cardboard or velvet paper is also used for this type of needlework. It is somewhat more difficult to work with these basics, because it is not always possible to calculate the tension of the thread or position the hole incorrectly.
Threads In addition, special attention should be paid toGive the choice of thread for embroidery. In principle, any smooth materials will work. Regardless of the thickness and raw materials from which they are made. Completely suitable thread will be linen, cotton or silk. The best are the threads of the mulina and iris. From woolen should be discarded, especially for beginner needlewomen, since their structure is not smooth, and they will cling to the paper, thereby greatly complicating the work.
As for the colors of the threads, you should choose according to the purpose of the product. But in such embroidery, glitter threads look much nicer than their matte counterparts.
The work will also require the use of certain tools:
scissors. They are necessary for cutting threads during embroidery. It is better to choose small ones with sharp ends. The blades should close easily and completely;- pencil. It is needed to apply the drawing on paper. It is more correct to stop the choice on a simple hard pencil. Due to the special structure of the lead on the cardboard there will be no thick lines;
- awl. This tool is used only for working with thick material, since the holes from it turn out to be coarse and large;
- pin. It is needed when embroidery is produced on thin paper. Here, the material treated with an awl will not have a good aesthetic appearance. In the absence of a pin it is permissible to use a regular needle or needle from an ordinary syringe;
- needle. You can use needles of different sizes for embroidering with threads on cardboard. But at work it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the thread. If they are folded several times, it is preferable to take a thick needle with a large eye;
- substrate. Such material is used during the piercing of holes on the cardboard. That the embroidery is not deformed, on it from the wrong side is placed some dense material with a porous structure;
- Ruler. It will be required to draw lines of the image and clearly place the figures. It is better to choose transparent. This is more convenient for beginners, since it allows you to calculate all the manipulations in advance;
- compass. Used to compose the right circles and clearly position the corners. Thimble. This tool is used in all kinds of such needlework. It not only protects the fingers from needle pricking, but also allows it to be conveniently pushed into the cardboard;
- Fasteners. Such an adaptation is useful when you need to transfer the pattern to the base. With the help of such a thing, the circuits are attached to the cardboard. An excellent option in this case can be paper clips.
Peculiarities of embroidery on cardboard
This kind of needlework has its secrets and rules. And in order for the product to work they must be adhered to:
- On paper, not every embroidery will look beautiful. For the first time, it's better not to experiment, but to choose an already-proven drawing;
- It is better not to use twisted threads. This can break the paper. For the same reason, one should not embroider a very large bundle of threads;
- Do not enter and withdraw a needle several times in the same hole. Cardboard can be spoiled;
- If the circuits require frequent insertion of the thread into the same puncture, it is better to use a thin thread;
- In the case where color transitions are visible on the product, after the end of work on the reverse half, a piece of paper or some kind of fabric should be glued;
- Embroidery on cardboard is performed by the method of filling corners, circles and arc-shaped elements. The main methods of embroidery on cardboard.
Filling the corner On the back of the baseThe angular contour of the future image is drawn. On the lines are marked with a pencil point on the same boring one from the other. To make a drawing there is a clear gap between them you need to do minimal. Each mark is pierced with an awl or pin. All holes are better numbered, respectively, the circuit.
The thread is threaded into a needle and, using the pulling method,into the holes, the entire image is filled. The patterns on the front and back sides will be different. On the face, the intersecting threads create a triangle with one concave side; on the reverse, the stitches are located only on the corner sides.
Filling the circle On the back of the baseWith the help of a circular, a circle is drawn and pencil marks are made. According to the marked points of the circuit, holes are made that must be an even number. Filling this figure with threads should be done starting from any hole. The size of the finished drawing depends on the distance between two points on the circle. The smaller this segment, the wider will be the interior of the circle and already its border.
Embroidering an arc Patterns in the form of arcs are drawn onthe wrong side of the work, and are divided into equal parts. Holes are made with an awl. You need to start filling from the starting point. The length of the stitches is equal to a third of the arc. The shorter the length of the segments, the thinner the image of the arc will be.
Embroidered card on cardboard
We offer a small master-class of making postcards in
. This embroidery is an excellent option for beginning craftsmen to try their hand at this craft.
To work you will need:
- Blue cardboard;
- More colorful than a thread;
- needle;
- awl;
- scissors;
- paper;
- Paper clips;
- Hard pencil;
- glue;
- Stationery;
- Scotch.
Production process The card will be painted with a New Year white horse.
First, the cardboard needs to be folded in half.Embroidery is done on the front of the top page. To do this, you first need to draw an image of a horse on the back of the cardboard. There is one nuance to consider in this process. On the other hand, the figure will have a mirror image. Therefore, it is important to draw it correctly.
We mark the puncture points with a pencil at our discretion. The main thing is that they are not at a great distance from each other.
Using an awl you need to make holes inmarked places according to the image diagram. We start embroidery with a large white snowflake. It consists of corners. We fill them in using the appropriate method, as shown in the diagram.
Small snowflakes are also embroidered.
Then, using the same method, you need to embroider the frame forstone in the crown and eye. The nostrils are made with black thread, circles and semicircles on the horse are made with blue thread. The pupil is black, the stone in the crown is red.
The outline of the eye is embroidered using the method: two stitches forward on the front side and one stitch back on the back. A black thread is used for this.
Let's move on to the hooves.They are embroidered with yellow threads by tilting the stitches to one side. After the row is sewn, you need to do it in the opposite direction using the same method. The result should be an embroidered fragment in a crossed manner. We make the outline using the previous method: two stitches forward on the face, one stitch back on the back. Using these crossed stitches you need to embroider all the hooves and the crown.
Next, we embroider the mouth with red thread, the body with blue thread, and fill the tail and mane with the arc method with white thread. The postcard is ready!
Some nuances Schemes can be drawn not on cardboard, but immediately made on thin paper, attach to the base and pierce the marks with a pin. Then on the cardboard will not be visible lines of drawing.
From the back of the first page of the postcard(the one where the embroidery is done), you can glue a piece of paper of the same color. It will not only cover the back of the work, but will also create additional space for writing a beautiful congratulation.
The highest levels of skill in embroiderycardboard is considered to create tone images. When making them, you need to correctly calculate the execution technique, background, placement of parts, selection of threads and the purpose of the future product.
