Metal and Embroidery
Embroidery is an art. And like any other art, it allows for innovation and experimentation as much as you want. There are endless possibilities when it comes to embroidery designs and embroidery styles. By just using different colors and patterns, one can come out with something new and beautiful every now and again. While playing around with colors and fabrics there always a chance you could come out with something absolutely delightful.
One strange yet interesting innovation in your embroidery can be the use of metal. Embroidered metal discs may sound strange but when you actually work on them they can turn out to be a really piece of work that can be used for many purposes. Simple perforated beading discs can be used for this purpose. Use the holes in the disc to embroider around them, the holes act as a guide and a frame for the design. The resulting discs are really cute and can be used in a number of crafts.
You can use as many colors as you want and weave a variety of designs in the discs. You can either use wool, pearl cotton thread or simply the stranded floss thread. But normally the stranded floss thread is not a preferred choice as it may split and get a bit messy. Take care that before you start stitching, leave a few inches of thread from the back so as to make a loop. Following the holes you can make different patterns with different colors. There is no limit to the designs and patterns you can create. Like a kaleidoscope you can turn up with different amazing patterns every time you embroider. When you are done tie the ends of the thread into a double knot.
The only one thing that can possibly be a little bothersome is that for some reason the holes in the outer most loops on the disc are not as symmetric as in the rest of the disc. But due to the flexibility of the designs this is not a major problem. You can then use the colorfully embroidered discs to various purposes. You can either attach two discs back to back to create a pendant like structure. This can be used as a stylish pendant, as an accessory on a bag or denim jackets, as buttons on knitted sweaters, as runner for a zipper or any other purpose you can think of. If you are a bit adventurous, they can be used as earrings or charms on bracelets. They are light weight and easy to use.
You can use the outermost row of holes to stitch it to the fabric. You can adorn the fabric with other machine embroidery designs. Just match your thread color to the embroidery, and your stitches will be invisible. These metal discs are super inexpensive, and come in different sizes. Happy Stitching!
