This handy beginner level thread painting tutorial is a must-read if you want to try thread painting flowers. The designer over on Crewel Ghoul provides a video tutorial and photos to you how to achieve this beautiful look. To me, the flowers almost look real, and she’s placing them next to a really cute dog design that is beautifully embroidered. I think I need to step up my hand embroidery game after seeing this project.
Using the pansy as the demo flower, the author teaches you how to transfer the pattern to the canvas and then use various thread colors to achieve that detailed look. It is an impressive method that does take some practice.
This tutorial details everything you will need to have, even including the floss colors used. She uses four different stitches for these pansies. However, if you aren’t familiar with the stitches, she provides links to tutorials for all of them.
