We present to your attention a master class on embroidery of poppies with ribbons. From it you will learn how you can beautifully decorate a panel in this interesting technique and master some basic techniques of embroidery with ribbons.
Master-class "Poppies embroidered with ribbons"
- Prepare all the materials necessary for work: base fabric, satin ribbons (wide red and narrow ribbon or green or golden cord), needles for embroidery, as well as beads - black and white (yellow). You will also need a drawing on which you will make embroidery (you can sketch it yourself). Embroidery with ribbons for beginners involves a simple drawing of poppies.
- Mark the fabric on the fabric (with a simple pencil, a tissue marker, or a conventional crayon). Orienting on it, embroider with beads the middle of the first flower. Looks elegantly black "velvet" middle and contrasting color glare.
- Take a piece of red ribbon with a width of 2.5-3 cm and a length of about 10-15 cm (depending on the desired size of the flower) and sew small stitches along the cut line. Use a red thread in the tone of the ribbon.
- Then "turn" and lay small loose stitches along the entire tape, in a circle.
- Pull this seam and attach the future flower to the middle - the inner circumference of the poppy should be about the same size as the outer circle of the beaded middle.
- Now you need to connect the lines of both circles with a neat suture. One ribbon sewn in this manner forms one poppy flower. Try to make the ribbon ribbons beautifully covered with waves, giving them the maximum resemblance to a real poppy.
- The outer edge of the poppy can be left as it is, but you can sew in several places with a secret seam to the fabric - so the flower will be more open.
- This is how the wrong side of the fabric will look at this stage.
- It was the turn of the side colors. For them, use the tape a little shorter.
- It is better to first carry out the petals themselves, and then take up the middle, since it will be oval in shape.
- Poppy stems can be embroidered using a needle with a wide eyelet, pulling the ribbon to the wrong side, or it can be attached to the outside of the fabric with secret stitches.
- We embroider the petals of the "background" on the tips of long stems. For this it is sufficient to make several stems "forward the needle".
- Add a pair of contrasting petals of the same color as the stems, as if hiding the red petals.
- And at the end of the work we embroider small leaves near the stems of a flower.
As you can see, it is not difficult to embroider poppies with satin ribbons. We wish you luck in mastering the new needlework technique !
