Toothpicks in embroidery: a custom approach to create a flower

Embroidery is a great way to personalize your favorite clothing or accessory. Using atypical objects, such as toothpicks, can make this process faster and better.

Draw the future silhouette of the flower in the shape of a circle, fill the leaves and stems with stitch. Add a smaller circle to the center of the circle: get a circle in a circle.

Take 2 toothpicks with sharp edges and place them crosswise. They must penetrate a small circle. Like piercing the center of a flower.

Pull the thread under one of the toothpicks and start twisting it clockwise. Make sure that the initial speed does not shift.

Gradually fill the entire contour, pulling the thread so that it does not hang. As petals, you can use a thread of a different color. Her petals are gathering.

After removing the toothpicks, attach a bead, rhinestone or embroidery in the center.
