Roses are the most preferred flowers. Someone likes delicate tea roses, someone likes small garden roses or small flowers framed by other plants, or maybe a modest bouquet in a simple vase. All kinds of these colors can be represented in cross-stitched pictures.

Beginner embroiderers are advised to use small, simple circuits. They have either one modest flower, or several small ones. For simple small embroideries, Aida 14 canvas and standard floss threads are suitable. For work, the technique of a full cross is used. The best way to get a picture is to embroider it with a double-folded thread.

How to embroider:

• First, you need to draw a grid of the required size on the canvas, stepping back 3-4 cm from the edge, then cut the fabric and stretch it on the hoop;
• Then you start cross-stitching from the upper left corner, gradually moving down and to the right, changing colors - complete the entire scheme;
• After completing the embroidery, the fabric must be washed by hand in warm soapy water, and then dried on a towel (so that the work does not deform);
• After that, it remains to iron the fabric with a warm iron.

Cross-stitching is finished, but even the embroidered bouquet needs to be properly arranged. Cut out a suitable piece of plastic or cardboard. The fabric is stretched with a strong thread. She sews the edges of the fabric from the inside. On the front side the pattern should not look skewed, do not loosen the thread tension too much.

Such a blank is best placed under glass, in a frame. If you want to do it in a retro style, look for the appropriate frame. Is always winning option- white frame

White rose cross: large size scheme

White embroidered rose - how to make it on a white canvas? Well, firstly, why exactly on white, and secondly, when working with shadows, the white canvas will not “lose” the rose. But a white rose can also be very beautiful, for example, on a blue or pink background. This can be a pillow, or rather, an embroidered cover for a sofa cushion.

A white rose is softer than a red one, so it will look good in a calm interior. Monochrome embroidery is also possible with a white rose. After all, it can be white roses in a beautiful wicker basket, or a brightly colored butterfly perched on a white rose. In other words, you can shift the focus.

How to embroider correctly: working conditions

When you are just at the beginning of your journey, you have to dig a lot in terminology - to find out what a Bulgarian cross is, for example, or what canvas helios means. But besides all these concepts, from the very first days of a new hobby, try to properly organize the workplace.

To do this, use the following tips:

• Lots of light and nothing more. This is the most important thing for comfortable embroidery. The concentration and tension of the eyes will not get away from this, and the lighting should be sufficient. Ideally, daytime. And no foreign objects at the place of work.
• Comfortable spot. A hard stool, of course, will only wear you out. An orthopedic chair with a back support would be ideal.
• Breaks are a must. Work should not be worn out, embroidering for a long time, you spend the reserves of the body. Distribute work.

Do not jump from topic to topic - this way you can quickly become disillusioned with needlework. Try to learn one to the maximum, and only then master the new. For example, embroider roses in the style of " old stories with retro overtones. Make a series of such works, understand all its nuances.

Beautiful cross-stitch roses: schemes (video)

Roses are a topic rarely avoided by embroiderers. Try to convey the beauty of your favorite flowers in small stitches. And find a worthy place for this embroidery.

The chic painting "White Roses" impressed me. tender, Beautiful colors thread, smooth transitions All this made her very bright and beautiful. The manufacturer of the kits offers to embroider these roses on canvas, you can take a smaller canvas, or you can take a large one.

I began to embroider roses by selection on canvas Aida 14.
To embroider "White Roses" you need to take the following materials:

Embroidery hoop or frame.
- cotton floss.
- tapestry needle.
- canvas white Aida 14 or 16.
- a marker for marking the canvas.
- scissors-heron for cutting threads.
- scheme.

The background in this design is not completely embroidered, but the unembroidered area is small, so it makes no sense to embroider roses on a fabric that has an even weave of threads. Before starting work, the canvas must be sheathed so that it does not bloom, you can mark it with a marker, and then tuck it into a hoop or frame.

The background is embroidered with a semi-cross in two, three, four and five threads. This technique helps to create volume. The roses themselves are embroidered with a cross in two and one thread. From this, the petals have either a more saturated color, or more transparent. The effect is amazing.

There is a lot of "back of the needle" seam in this picture. You can’t do without him here, because he draws and outlines rose petals, buds, leaves. It must be embroidered very carefully, try not to make long broaches. It's over, the seam back of the needle is tiring, so I prefer to do it in the course of the process, and not at the very end, when the whole picture is embroidered.

There are many thread colors used, but the palette is also expanded with the help of melange, when one color is combined with another. This technique resembles painting, when the artist mixes paints and a new color is obtained.

When the flowers were embroidered, I washed the picture, dried it and stroked it. I was very pleased with the result. I recommend to embroider it all the same on a frame, and not on a hoop, as a strong skew of the fabric is obtained on the hoop due to the fact that the background is embroidered with a semi-cross.

Floral motifs have always been relevant as themes for embroidery, today the floral theme is still popular. Needlewomen embroider single flowers, bouquets and flower arrangements, but most often you can see the image of a rose, which is rightfully considered the queen among flowers. Roses can be presented in different ways, namely in different styles and in different colors. Cross-stitch is a fascinating process that results in a beautiful picture.
