How to embroider a rosehip flower with ribbons
Step 1
First of all, it is necessary to embroider the stems of flowers.
Bring the tape to the front side, twist and puncture the fabric a little further. So embroider 3 stems. Fix them with a thread in the color of the fabric. Next, you can start embroidering the buds.
Step 2
Make a straight ribbon stitch with a central puncture. Tighten the ribbon so that the top of the bud is sharp. The next step is to create the core of the flower.
Step 3
To embroider the middle, you need to take a floss in 4-5 additions or a dense yellow yarn. Twist the thread and pierce the tape, leaving the stitch free. The main part is ready, it remains to frame the bouquet with leaves.
Step 4
The leaves are embroidered with a green ribbon, 4-6 mm wide. Using 2 types of seams: straight and with a puncture, you can create beautiful greens.
When embroidering compositions on light fabric, do not make long broaches on the wrong side so that the work looks neat.
