Tambour work on leather

January 3, 2012 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

We’ve seen Creative Mind‘s tambour embroidery before. So pretty! This time, she applies it to a scrap of leather, fills the outline with sequins, and creates a stylish, blingy purse. Go to her blog post to see all the stages in photos.

Tambour embroidery is a centuries-old craft that is still popular today. It’s a type of needlework that uses a special hook to stitch intricate, delicate patterns into a variety of fabrics.

Tambour embroidery is perfect for adding special accents to clothing, accessories, and home décor items. To get started, you’ll need to acquire the necessary supplies, like fabric, thread, needles, and an embroidery hoop.

Once you have the basics, you can start experimenting with Tambour embroidery patterns. There are a variety of pre-made patterns available, or you can create your own! After that, you simply need to practice and perfect your technique. With a little patience and practice, you’ll be creating beautiful Tambour embroidery pieces in no time.
