The owl is a symbol of wisdom and insight. For its silent flight and ability to see in the dark, in ancient times the owl was an occult attribute in many rituals. Today, the owl is popular as a beautiful and cute print on T-shirts, bags, pillows and various household items.
To perform embroidery with the image of owls you will need:
Canvas (for example, Aida) or any other fabric with a clearly visible weave of threads (for example, linen);
- Multi-colored floss threads;
- Hoop or a special frame on a stand for embroidery;
- A special marker or a simple pencil for marking;
- Needles for embroidery;
- Embroidery pattern printed on a color printer.
Prepare everything you need: according to the pattern you have chosen, select all the necessary colors of floss threads; iron the canvas, if necessary, to facilitate the process of embroidery and counting crosses, use a marker or a simple pencil with a soft lead to mark the canvas with 10 by 10 cells, then carefully stretch the canvas on a hoop or a special frame.
Start embroidering from any corner of the pattern that is convenient for you. To make the embroidered design look neat, the stitches must be made in one direction: first sew a series of half-crosses moving along the outline from left to right, then complete the crosses by sewing a series of stitches moving from right to left.
After completing the embroidery of the main part of the design, according to the diagram, sew all the lines and contours with a “back needle” stitch - this will give the embroidery clarity and a completed appearance. To give the embroidered design additional volume, sew all the contours and lines with a thicker thread or more folds of floss threads.
After completing the embroidery, remove the applied markings from the canvas by washing it in a cool place. soapy water, then lay out the embroidery on a light terry towel and leave until completely dry. Iron the embroidered design using a low-temperature iron through a light-colored fabric.
