Step One: Tip for those who don't have the exact
colors and need to select something suitable from what they have at hand:
increase the size of the color chart multifold and print it out. This makes
it a lot easier to pick the needed colors. You can use threads produced
by different companies, as long as they are of the same thickness. |
|
Step Two: After embroidering each color, remove jump stitches. |
|
Step Three: The embroidery is finished. |
|
Step Four: Here's the stamp album that we want to decorate. |
|
Step Five: Remove the embroidery from its hoop and gently iron
it. |
|
Step Six: Mark a rectangle around the embroidery, corresponding
to the size of the album. Fold back the margins that are left around the
marking and iron the embroidery again. |
|
Step Seven: We leave a border of around 1 1/2" - 2" (4-5 cm)
and mark it down again, as shown on the picture. |
|
Step Eight: Cut along the marking from the previous step. |
|
Step Nine: Brush the flap that's going to lie along the album's
spine with glue and fold it back. |
|
Step Ten: Brush both the cover of the album and back-side of
the embroidery with glue and place them carefully together. |
|
Step Eleven: Open the album and glue down the flaps created
in Step Eight. |
|
Steps Twelve and Thirteen: Use white adhesive tape
to cover the fabric. |
|
|
Step Fourteen: Finished! You can follow the same steps to create
a cover for a photo album, a diary, or a book. |
