Manual for needlewomen: a diagram of cross-stitch "house"; Self-constructed circuit

Today, many are addicted to needlework. Very often a cross-stitched "house" scheme is required for classes. The scheme can be purchased at a specialized store. Often they are downloaded from the Internet. But the cross-stitch embroidery scheme can also be built. The house, the scheme of which will help to solve the problem, there can be different options.

Ornament decoration products

To decorate products with ornaments, the most primitive cross-stitch pattern is used. A house, the scheme of which is quite simple, can successfully decorate clothes or clothes. For this, the repeat is repeated as many times as required by the length of the edge of the article.

Usually for such embroidery use no more than five or six colors of natural threads: silk or floss.

Embroidered landscapes

Many amateurs prefer to make pictures. This requires a cross-stitch pattern. The house, the scheme of which is used for work, can be part of the landscape. To the picture came out more natural, the master will need a thread of a large number of shades.

The cross-stitched "winter houses" schemes are in great demand among needlewomen. Snow-covered modest dwellings of people in small villages, brightly lit mansions surrounded by greenery, faltering huts standing in glades amidst forests - all these buildings look very bright against the background of colorful landscapes.

Use such embroidery not only as pictures on the walls. So you can make a sofa cushion, a coverlet on an armchair and a bed.

Fairytale house

In the interior of the children's room the embroidery on a fantasy theme will successfully fit in. This can be an image of a fairy-tale house: dwellings of fairies, dwarves, elves and other fictional characters.

By the way, the children themselves like to embroider, especially the pictures that correspond to their imagination. This kind of needlework brings up care, accuracy, assiduity. In addition, the growing personality activates a sense of beauty, fantasy.

How to create a scheme for embroidery?

Of course, doing work on a ready-made template is a handicraft. There is no question of disclosing the creative potential. But I myself would have to invent and embroider something that draws the imagination to the master! But how to do that?

The master class will help in this rather difficult matter. For a sample, you can take a picture simpler. Here, for example, a fungus in which the dwarfs arranged their home. Apparently, there are not so many colors and shades used here.

• For greater accuracy, it is better to enlarge the picture or draw it in a large format. It is necessary to impose a shade on the drawing, clearly outlining the border of their transition to other colors.
• Then a grid is applied to the drawing. It can be drawn directly on top of the picture. And you can use transparent paper on which the grid will be applied.
• Next, the master proceeds to painting the squares with the color that he will use when embroidering. If desired, you can replace, for example, red green, if it makes sense. It is necessary to completely put color on those squares, the chosen color in which it takes more than half of it.
• The same algorithm is used for all other shades.
• Then the sample can be removed in the case when the grid was made on a transparent sheet. But it is most convenient to translate the scheme into a new sheet with a grid, for example, on a graph paper.

These schemes are used not only for embroidery. They are convenient to use when unfastening a jacquard pattern, creating tapestries, laying out a mosaic of small square tiles. Therefore, the ability to make them themselves can be useful not only to embroiderers.
