This cannetille ex-voto tutorial was made for the magazine l'Atelier des Nanas. Do not hesitate to go and see their new publications.
Place the organza fabric on the embroidery drum. Adjust the tension. Transfer the design to the fabric by transparency.
Stretch the jaser slightly. Then sew the end of the jaseron and attach the jaseron every 5 mm or so following the pattern.
Cut out a heart slightly smaller than the center design from the felt. Then, attach the felt roughly.
Start with the center and then fill in each part of the heart by sewing in the width of the pattern your cannetille. You will need different lengths depending on the area to be filled.
Sew the beads one by one all around the heart.
Stretch the braid slightly. Attach the braid every 5 mm or so following the pattern and secure the ends.
Cut 2 to 5 mm pieces of cannetille. Sew irregularly inside the flames.
Stop the thread by tying it at the back of the embroidery. Take the embroidery out of the drum. Cut the outline of your embroidery leaving a half cm all around. Sew all around the embroidery.
Cut a piece of leatherette to fit the size of the embroidery. Fold the piece of leatherette. Then make two notches for the fastener.
Glue the entire back of the embroidery by folding over the edges. Position the embroidery on the back of the leather, centering the clip. Press on the entire surface and let dry well.
Cut the leather all around the spindle.
