Easter Egg Card Project

Easter Egg Card Project

Embroider on paper, and go all the way around for fun easter egg embroidery in this "Happy Easter" card project.

 1:

To make these embroidered Easter egg cards, you need a blank greeting card, polystyrene foam eggs, mulberry paper, Kiwi paper, and card stock to embroider on.

 2:

Slice one of the eggs in half from top to bottom.

 3:

Wrap half the egg in mulberry paper to figure out how much paper you need to cover it. For this 2 inch egg, I'm using a 4 1/4" square.

 4:

Hoop two sheets of fibrous water soluble stabilizer, and use the Magna-Hoop or an embroiderer's spray adhesive to attach the mulberry paper to the stabilizer.

 5:

Use production sheets to lay out the embroidery plan on the paper. Here,the flower (AH59) start point is 1 3/4" from the top of the mulberry paper - and the flower border (AH69)start point is 1 3/4" from the bottom.

 6:

Go ahead and embroider the designs onto the mulberry paper.

 7:

Trim the stabilizer to match the paper.

 8:

Turn the embroidery upside down and brush water onto the stabilizer; the paper will get wet. The trick is to avoid making it too wet.

 9:

Then turn the paper over and adhere paper to egg. Fold the ends around the egg, and trim overlapping paper away. Brush the paper with water, and carefully use your fingers to shape the paper to the egg. Set this aside and allow it to dry.

 10:

Cut a piece of Kiwi paper 4 1/2" x 2", and place it on a hooped piece of adhesive stabilizer.

 11:

Embroider the "Happy Easter" (YF78) design in the center of the Kiwi paper.

 12:

When the design is finished, it's easy to tear the Kiwi paper off of the stabilizer without destroying it.

 13:

In the center of a 4 1/2" wide and 4 1/4" tall piece of cardstock, mark a start point. Attach this to hooped stabilizer.

 14:

Begin to stitch the Easter egg outline (JM18). This design double stitches each egg shape. Avoid over-punching the paper by manually stopping the design before the second pass on each egg, and skip it.

 15:

Cut the stabilizer to fit the cardstock.

 16:

Attach the embroidered papers to the front of your egg card.

 17:

When the covered egg is dry, use adhesive dots to attach it to the center of the stitched redwork egg on the cardstock.

 18:

Your card is finished. Happy Easter to you from Embroidery.com! For more on embroidering paper, see our related technique.
