These are the instructions on how to make the FSL
Rose Gift Box.
|
| The designs from our FSL
Rose Gift Box are embroidered as regular FSL. You can read about this
in our General Guidelines.
To embroider this set we used 40-weight polyester embroidery threads;
you can also use rayon or cotton (50- or 60- weight) embroidery threads.
If you use cotton embroidery thread, we recommend to clean the machine
after embroidering every part because cotton threads, even ones specially
made for embroidery machines, leave a lot of lint. |
Some points to remember from the General Guidelines:
Use Vilene water soluble stabilizer;
Use the same thread for the upper and bobbin to get two-sided embroidery.
DO NOT embroider several designs in one hoop. |
|
| The finished size of the small box is about 3 1/2" wide and 1 1/2"
high; and the large box - about 5" wide and 2" high.
You will need: embroidery thread, water-soluble Vilene stabilizer, invisible
thread for assembly and hot-fix crystals (optional). |
| |
| Step One: Embroider the box's lid and bottom once; embroider
the side parts four times each. The wide parts are for the bottom, the
narrower parts, with frills, are for the lid. |
|
| Step Two: After you embroider the necessary parts, rinse the
stabilizer and leave to air dry. Press all parts with steam. |
|
Assembly
|
Step Three: Stitch the side parts together in pairs - you'll
get 2 longs sides for the bottom and two long sides for the lid.
If you want to decorate the box with beads or hot-fix crystals, do
this now. |
|
| Step Four: Take the bottom part and one long side for the bottom.
Using invisible thread and zig-zag stitch, join the parts as shown. Work
from the inside of the box. |
|
| Step Five: Repeat Step Five for the second side. Join
the open seams - the upper seam stitch from the inside, and the bottom
seam stitch from the outside of the box. |
|
| Step Six: Take the lid and one of the long sides with the frills.
Working from outside the box, attach the side to the lid as shown. |
|
| Step Seven: Repeat Step Six for the remaining side part. Join
the open seams - the upper seam from the inside of the lid, and the bottom
seam from the outside of the lid. |

The gift box is ready!
