Decorative Ceramic Tiles with Embroidery
| This is a new and original decorative idea. Instead of a wall hanging,
wall quilt, or even a frame, you can put embroidery on tiles, and hang
those up for decoration. It's pretty easy to do, and the finished project
sure stands out from the crowd!
For the project we used the designs from the Sunflower
Set for a large (5" x 7") hoop, however, you can use any Floral
photo-stitch designs from our large collection. |
|
| You will need: ceramic tiles, acrylic paints, sponge for paints, decoupage
coating, univesal spray adhesive, flat brushes for coating, nail polish
remover.
For embroidery, we used embroidery polyester threads, watersoluble mesh
stabilizer and polyester organza fabric. |
|
Preparing the Tiles:
|
| To degrease the tiles, wipe the tiles with nail polish remover. |
|
| Using sponges or gauze pads, paint the surface of the tiles with acrylic
paints. We painted them with a gradual transition from blue to white and
teal to white. They're meant to look sky-like. However, you can use whatever
colors suit your project.
Leave the tiles to air dry. Meanwhile, prepare the embroidery. |
|
|
Embroidery
|
Embroider the designs on a layer of water-soluble mesh and organza.
Wash away the stabilizer and cut away the organza. Press the embroidery
flat. |
|
Embellishing the Tiles
|
| Position the stitch-outs on the tiles. When you like your arrangement,
spray the back of the stitch-outs with universal adhesive and press onto
the tiles. Let the adhesive dry. |
|
| With the help of a flat brush place a thin layer of decoupage coating
over the tiles and embroidery. Leave to air dry. Re-coat if needed. Let
dry. |

|
|
The tiles are ready. Enjoy!
