Rooster, embroidery with ribbons. Set for embroidery

The patron of the year 2017 in the Eastern calendar was the fiery Rooster, symbolizing self-improvement, the pursuit of success and vitality. The craftsmen, who did not manage to please their friends and relatives with their needlework with the symbol of the year, still have time to create a masterpiece. Pictures with this bright bird are performed in different techniques. But the most "alive" and voluminous it is obtained with ribbons embroidered - an old kind of needlework that allows creating unusual images.

How to choose an embroidery scheme

In the process of drawing the fabric, satin and silk tapes of various widths and special "chenille" needles are used. Sets for embroidery in this technique are often sold in stores with goods for creativity. New Year's symbol is not necessary to give only during the Christmas holidays. It can turn into a talisman and become a pleasant surprise on any holiday.

When choosing a scheme for embroidering with ribbons of a rooster, you should focus on your experience in this kind of needlework. It is necessary to choose the level of complexity that will be possible. Experienced craftswomen often purchase not embroidery kits, but a patterned cloth, independently choosing the technique of performing the work and purchasing tapes. Beautiful and accurate pictures can be made using a translation of the picture on the fabric using copying paper or tracing paper. The instruction for embroidery with tapes with step-by-step execution will help to perform a simple motive even for a beginner. Below is a guide with a detailed description of all stages of work.

Embroidery of the rooster with ribbons: master class

At the first stage, you should decide on a sketch and decide whether to purchase a ready-made set, draw a rooster yourself, or translate the pattern onto a fabric. As a background, a textured print or light matter is a good fit.

Necessary materials for work:

1. Tapes 6 mm wide white and red, several shades of orange or brown for the trunk.

3. White tape 3 mm wide for the neck.
4. Red ribbon width 2.5 cm for the scallop.

8. Needles for embroidery with ribbons.
9. Scissors.
10. Lighter for processing edges and fixing tapes to the fabric.

Before embroidering with ribbons, it is important to understand the structure of the rooster and what the main components will be shared by the picture - the trunk, neck, beak, scallop, beard, paws, tail.

Embroider the body of the cock

We will start from the bottom of the cock, because the feathers go from top to bottom and overlap the previous ones. You can start with the legs or the torso.

Take two or three shades of blue tape 6 mm wide to alternate the colors of the feathers and make the work more voluminous. We put the ribbon in needles and pass both colors from the wrong side, so that one is facing outward, and the other is not. We make stitches along the edge, trying not to go beyond the outline of the picture, directing them alternately down and up. It is not necessary to make identical feathers. If desired, you can additionally tint them with paint, after the completion of the rooster embroideries ribbons.

The second row begins, slightly overlapping the first, so that the feathers are superimposed. When the tape is finished, fix it on the wrong side with a lighter. If the stitches move, fall into each other - it looks more natural. The next row on the lower part of the wing is made with a white tape 12 mm wide, again with the approach to the previous feathers. Stitches should lie in parallel, they should be spread with a needle. Crossing with the previous row, made in white, embroider the blue feathers, using a tape 12 mm wide. The lower part of the body, next to the wings, is embroidered with a white ribbon 6 mm wide. For the rest of the space we use brown tape.

We decorate the neck of the cock

We pass to the embroidery of the next part of the cock according to the scheme of its structure - the neck. Take the white tape 3 mm wide and start making long stitches, leaving small spaces between them, periodically twisting the tape. The second row is executed so as to fill the spaces in the first row. Perryshki superimposed on the previous.

Now in the queue is the head. First we make a beak, using a brown tape with a width of 12 mm. Beak embroider with three stitches. One is used for the volume - it passes through the central part. This is a straight stitch. The next step is the lower side of the beak. It is also performed with a straight stitch. For the upper part, the needle must be inserted into the fabric, slightly receding from the previous stitch. It should slightly cover the lower part of the beak. Carefully lay the loop, tightening the tape.

Sewing the eye

Next, in embroidery with ribbons of a rooster we pass to the places around the eye. The space near the beak, except for the scallop and the beard, is filled with small stitches with a ribbon of red color 6 mm wide. It is advisable to leave the pupil unprotected, then not to miss with the place where it should be. Now make an eye: cut out a wide brown tape round substrate, singing edges with a cigarette lighter. Take the usual needle with a black thread, pierce the workpiece, and then pass the bead, put the workpiece in place and sew the glazier to the fabric. We make several stitches for fixing.

How to embroider a comb and a beard

Now the turn of the scallop and the beard. For the upper part we use a red tape with a width of 12 mm. We find a place where to take out the eyelets, so that the scallop looks natural. Stitches will be performed in the same technique as the floral leaves: we pierce the tape at the entrance to the fabric, using the sharp parts of the scallop for the landmark, carefully pulling it on the wrong side to get a thin tip. For the next stitch, go back down and repeat all the actions. For the beard, take a red ribbon with a width of 2.5 cm and make one, but a three-dimensional stitch, slightly grasping the neck and the area around the eye. Create the desired shape, pulling the tape from different sides.

Embroidery of paws and tail

It remains very little until the end of the ribbon embroidering the New Year's symbol - the cock. Now we turn to the design of the feet. They are embroidered with a 12 or 6 mm ribbon. We use the technique as for the basket handle: we make several stitches and wrap them with a ribbon. For the base of the paws, we make the usual stitches, filling the picture, but leaving a little room for the claws. Then we go into each eyelet, trying to keep the ribbon flat, and wrap the finished stitches with tape, without piercing the fabric. For claws, we take a tape 6 mm wide with a darker shade than the feet. Stitches are wound on the fingers, the tip should be sharp.

We begin to embroider the tail, making long stitches and alternating a ribbon 12 mm wide with three shades of blue. We put the feathers in random order, bending and twisting the ribbon, fixing the tip with a ribbon stitch. Ready tail can be decorated with a natural feather, sewing it in the center. Now the rope embroideries are finished.
