Many photo-stitch embroidery designs can be turned into refrigerator
magnets to embellish your kitchen. The project is simple to do, but provides
a unique touch, and embroidery fridge magnets make great gifts.
You will need a magnetic sheet or a piece of magnetic tape, organza,
watersoluble mesh and embroidery threads. On our refrigerator below, you
can see the following designs: Imperial
Tea Roses, Red
Currant, and Oranges.
Hoop a layer of organza with 2 layers of watersoluble mesh. Embroider
the design and cut away the excess materials.
Rinse away the watersoluble mesh.
Cut away the organza as close to the embroidery as possible.
Using a soldering iron or hot craft knife, burn away the remaining
organza threads. Take care not to burn the embroidery.
Press the embroidery with steam. Adhere a piece of magnetic tape to
the back.
