How to make a Moss Embroidery Project.
This project combines the classic art of hand embroidery with a modern contemporary style to make a lovely addition to your home decor. My aim with this piece was to create a piece that took you to the Forest, with this moss like look and colours and texture, it's like bringing the garden indoors. This project would make a timeless present or decoration for any home.
You will need: • Embroidery threads in several greens
• Embroidery Hoop • Embroidery needles • Felt 7” x 7”
• Felt green
• Green wool • Fake Moss • Scissors • Lace trim • Glue gun
Step 1 -
Place the felt into an embroidery hoop.
Step 2 - To create a raised area use some wool in green to build up that area. To give the piece more dimension continue working the wool over itself to create the hill effect.
Step 3 - To create the look of moss on your piece use the French not over the complete surface of the wall. You can work in several tones of green to give a more realistic look to your moss.
Step 4 - Stitch into the piece some fake Moss pieces.
Step 5 -
You can also add some more texture using some needle felt.
Pull out a few strands work them into a straight line and then needle felt them into the actual embroidery piece
Step 6 - Trim off the over hanging fabric so that there is enough to adhere this to the inner hoop.
Step 7 -
Use a glue gun to adhere to the inner hoop.
Step 8 - Now adhere the felt backing to the back of the hoop to hide the back of the stitches.
Step 9 - Cut a strip of felt approximately 2” x 1”. Apply some glue at each end and place on the back at the top of the hoop. This will act as a hook for hanging.
