Thank you to Valérie Hacquin for sharing her knowledge.

This tutorial requires the use of an iron.

Step 1 :

Start by ironing the fabric linen fig (For another colori go on our category linen ), then cut a coupon of 48x60cm approximately. Iron it again. Print the sheet with the 3 templates (by clicking here ) and cut the first by following its outline. Then reproduce it on the fabric, thinking it will become the place of your embroidery. For convenience, pin the template with a safety pin.

2nd step :

Climb the embroidery loom with the linen linen fabric, feel free to roll your bars with for more comfort by embroidering. Remember that the previously reproduced template will be the place of your work.

Step 3:
Embroider at the point of flat bottom all the inside of the template # 1 as shown in the photo. For this, use a double strand of lighted DMC E677 and E211 , which will make you a total of two double strands.
Tips: To preserve the threads, do not take too large switches and accompany them each time you sew in the fabric. You will avoid the knots.

Step 4:
Cut out template # 2 in 3 parts as on the photos and reproduce their contours on the back of the craft , turning them over. Be careful that your templates are the best positioned relative to the back of the flat past that you just embroidered. For the first part, on the fabric, use a cloth pencil. For the part on the threads use a pencil gel. Be careful not to put on linen!

Step 5:
Beaded embroidery work from Lunéville: put the 5 burgundy bowls on the # 458 glove reel and place them following the diagram, with the Lunéville hook. As a reminder, always put the place of supply to the coil. In this case, for the cuvettes, the place is the hollow.

Step 6:
Laying gold glitter 5: Thread the glitter on the # 312 glove wire coil and embroider them following the diagram, with the Lunéville hook. Here, the place of supply is smooth, unlike its back which has a slight bead.

Step 7:
Cut out template # 3, turn it over and trace its outline on the wrong side of the work. Before drawing its outline, check that it is well positioned. To do this, take half of the job and look transparently with the fabric.

Luneville crochet beads: put the beads on the # 458 glove reel and place them in line, below the previously embroidered glitter line. Make sure to cut all your lines of yarn if you have not already done so and take off your embroidery loom.

Step 8: Take the stencil n ° 3 and reproduce it on the back of the glitter felt, turning it over. Take the DMC # 718 and cut two double strands to sew the pin holder with, on the felt. Carefully cut out the embroidered piece that remained on the linen fabric. To do this, follow the outline that you drew in the previous step.

Step 9:

Fitting the pin: Pin the felt with the pin holder you just sewed with your embroidered piece using head pins. Take one double strand of DMC # 718 and another double strand of DMC E677 Light. Embroider now the entire outline of the broach so assembled.

Tip: so that the reverse side of your brooch is as aesthetic as possible, make a nice point of overlock when you have to stop your needle.

Your beaded embroidery flower brooch from Lunéville is now complete!
