Cross-stitching is a popular pastime for both Russians and foreign needlewomen. Someone has already achieved some success in this area, and someone is just learning the science of weaving mouline threads. In needlework stores, you can buy not only ready-made kits for embroidery, but also separately purchase canvas, floss and needles. Moreover, as a rule, threads are put in sets with a margin and after a certain number of sets you will become the proud owner of a huge number of shades. You can, and even need to apply them - in this way you can create author's things, try to match the colors to the scheme yourself and hone your handmade skills.
There are a lot of easy embroidery patterns available on the Internet, such as the Owl embroidery patterns, which can be upgraded to your liking.
What to decorate with simple embroidery
Small embroideries can be used not only in the form of paintings. This format is perfect for postcards for the holidays - a blank for it can be purchased at needlework stores. And then insert the needlework there, securing it with double-sided tape. Here is an embroidery pattern "Owl", which is suitable for the New Yearpostcards.
If you buy a plastic canvas, you can make voluminous figurines or solid mug coasters. And maybe even Christmas decorations. You just need to embroider the pattern according to the scheme, and then cut it out.
Soluble canvas can be found on sale. It costs more than ordinary fabric, but allows you to transfer the pattern to any material, including knitwear. Decorate children's clothes, T-shirts, socks with this author's pattern - and it will be a great gift that will keep your hands warm.
Unusual design of the finished work
So, the owl cross stitch pattern has been found. There are few difficulties: you need to follow the direction of the crosses, adhere to the pattern shown in the selected image, carefully fasten the threads from the inside out, avoiding knots. There are not so many technical difficulties - the main thing is to start. And, of course, to have great patience to continue to embroider, as this is an occupation for the diligent. You can decorate your work by adding a twist, for example, instead of embroidering eyes on a bird, attach two large beautiful buttons. This will immediately make the embroidery more voluminous, livelier.
How to diversify simple embroidery. Melange technique
Monochrome embroidery is simple - no need to cut the thread, just lead it until it runs out, and then start a new one. It's simple but boring. Instead of one color, take a melange thread, as in the above “Owl” embroidery pattern.
Suchthe work is unusual, it looks very beautiful - as if the color was specially selected, the plumage seems to play. In the case of melange, do not make many half-crosses - do four stitches in one direction, and then close the stitches. Thus, the "Owl" embroidery pattern is not difficult and even a beginner can handle it. But you can bring unusual touches to the work.
