How to do it yourself: description of the technique

Step-by-step instructions for embroidery:

• First, you need to study the kit and its composition. Lay out the embroidery base on a table or floor, with the adhesive side facing up. For practicality, it is advisable to fix it on the table. This can be done with tape or needles;
• Arrange the containers with beads by numbers. For convenience, it is advisable to pour them into special cups for beads. Do not forget to indicate the number for each color;
• There is no need to remove the oilcloth from the entire base immediately. The adhesive part can dry out, and the quality of the canvas will deteriorate. First, you need to decide from which corner to start the work. This rule is individual for each craftswoman. When everything is ready for work, you need to start bending the paper and cutting it with scissors;

• Now you can start doing the main work - laying out the rhinestones. To do this, you need to use tweezers to lift one diamond and place it in the cell under its number. Press the crystal a little with your finger. It is necessary to lay the beads correctly the first time, evenly along the cell, otherwise you will have to re-glue them, which will make the canvas unsightly. Care and precision should be at each stage of embroidery. Continue gluing the diamonds in rows;
• When the first row is finished, you need to use an iron ruler to align it completely. This step should be repeated after gluing a new row so that the diamonds in a row lie evenly and tightly. The result will be an amazing picture.

It is important to remember that such crafts cannot be washed in the machine. Only wiping off dust with a cotton cloth is allowed. Therefore, any, even small, painting is recommended to be placed in a frame and under glass. Or at least varnished so that it does not collect dust. It is also not recommended to involve children under 7 in the work; there are special embroidery kits for them. Work should only be done under the supervision of an adult.

The prices of sets as of August 2019 range from 500 rubles to 4,500 thousand. You can find a craft for every taste and budget. For beginners, it is advisable to buy small paintings to learn how to work with diamonds and understand whether they like it.
