 |
Sew out embroidery design and
then a mirror image of the same design. We
used white felt with medium-weight, cut-away
stabilizer. Cut out both design sewouts close to the stitching. |
|
 |
Glue or tack the embroideries, wrong sides
together. |
|
 |
Carefully remove the
top of the ornament, which is held in place
with a wire.
Insert a filler
decoration for the bottom of the ornament.
We used thread snips from our sewing room.
|
|
 |
Thread a hand sewing
needle with metallic thread and pull the
thread through the top of the embroideries.
This is how you will suspend inside of
the ornament.
Carefully roll the
embroideries to fit inside the neck of the
ornament and insert into the
neck. Make sure that the thread for
hanging the embroideries does not fall into
the ball of the ornament. |
|
 |
While holding the
ornament and strings with your left hand,
use a paint brush or tweezers to push the
embroideries against the inside of the
ornament ball to straighten out the curves
that you made when you inserted the
embroideries. |
|
 |
Pick up the
ornament top and carefully insert the
threads through the small slit where the
wire comes through the ornament top. Then
replace the ornament top onto the ball
without letting go to the threads.
Determine the height that you want the
embroideries to hang in the ball and
then tie the threads tightly to the wire in
the ornament top. |
|
 |
Add a ribbon bow. |
