I have been a BTS fangirl since I was 13... I really should be stopped. I have also recently become a huge lover of Tumblr artist Ennun, her art is amazingly adorable and squishy and this piece is one called "Get Warm"
I adored the colours she had used and the cutesy style, so tadaaammm...
I only recently learned this technique of cross stitch/ embroidery by drawing the sketch you'd like to use, then embroidering over the paper, using the sketch as a guideline.
- OMG GET YOURSELF A PAIR OF TINY SCISSORS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT A PROJECT LIKE THIS. I only had these giant kitchen style scissors and was trying to cut the pieces of paper between the stitches and getting really reeeeallly frustrated
- Make sure your stitches are super tight, as when you cut away the paper, the stitches can get loose which makes the stitches loose and floppy and completely anaesthetic (siiiigh)
- Do yourself a favour and get some nice embroidery cotton for a project like this. I'm used to being in countries where crafting items are virtually nonexistent and ya make do with whatever you have, so I used cross-stitch material which was okay, but it made stitching the design a little harder plus the picture wasn't smooth due to the cross-stitch holes in the fabric.
But I really love the final product and hope to get a little neater and try again THIS TIME WITH TINY SCISSORS AND THE PROPER FABRIC OKAY.
