Tulle Embroidery with Natural Flowers and Plants

Tulle Embroidery with Natural Flowers and Plants

“Dear student, you've reached the end of the course, and I want to thank you for being here. It’s been a pleasure! I hope you´ve learned a lot and have fun too. I am looking forward to seeing your own final project. Take this opportunity to put your own mark and your own preferences when making your design. Let me show you an example of what and how I’m looking forward to seeing your final project: Select and Dry Your Flowers: Take a walk and observe what surrounds you, take photos of the flowers you like or of the colors of nature you fell in love with. Take this moment to inspire yourself, I’m sure you’ll have your own very personal sources of inspiration too. Once you have selected the flowers and plants you would like to work with dry them using a suitable method.

Prepare Everything To Start: Once your flowers are dry, handle the flowers and their delicate stalks to assess their thickness and flexibility. Try to work with different kinds of plants and flowers. If your flowers are ready, learn about embroidery hoops and how to use them. Choose the hoop and tulle you would like to work with. Attach, stretch and secure the tulle to the hoop. Outline the design you will be working on. Your Design: Select your palette based on the dried flowers you have. Tou can choose to combine a range of colors or use a monochrome scheme. Decide how many floral shapes you want to build within your final hoop. Make your sketch and try to do a balanced and harmonious design. Finish Your Final Design: Start attaching the different plants and flowers you chose to the net, remember to take in mind their shape and size to have a better composition. Once your design is ready, seal it, and if you wish you can also frame it. Here you can be as creative and experimental as you like as long as you keep to some general tips like: I think it’s important not to use too many types of flowers, to try to spread out the colours consistently and to keeping to an odd number of overall elements as well as trying to space them evenly from the edge of the hoop. But it’s really all up to you! I hope you are more in love with embroidery with natural flowers than ever after this course. No matter whatever country you come from in the world, there are always opportunities to include at least some local plants in your project. I’d love it if you can experiment with what surrounds you. I will be waiting for you to share all your process and the final result. Please, also add some text in which you tell us a bit about your experience during your process. Remember, if you want to also share some photos on your social media you can use the hashtag #OlgaPrinkuDomestika, so I can see all your posts! If you need help as you go along, don’t hesitate to reach out to me through the course platform, and I’ll try to reply as soon as I can, though I can’t promise it will be straight away. But if you see a query from a fellow student that you can help with, please do support and encourage each other. I’ve learned everything I’ve talked about through experimenting and observing, and I’m sure you’ll learn a lot through experimenting too. Thanks for following this course with me, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what you create!”

“We've reached the end of this Domestika course. Well done for getting this far. By following along with the lessons, you will now be ready to create your own flowers on tulle embroidery. As mentioned before, this is a rewarding and creative process that helps you connect with nature. both in the physical process of collecting your materials from the outdoors and the act of creating your floral designs.
