Pair of lions: learning to cross stitch

Embroidery cross stitch is a rather painstaking and time-consuming task. It requires patience, perseverance, and a lot of free time. However, the end justifies the means: paintings embroidered with multi-colored threads fascinate with their beauty. If you want to please a loved one with an original holiday gift, make it yourself. A pair of golden lions on a canvas - both women and men will love this surprise!
To get started, you will need the following items:
1. Gold threads.
2. Sharp needle.
3. Scissors.
4. White canvas.
5. Hoop (optional).
6. Scheme.
Carefully unfold the canvas and thread the gold thread into the eye of the needle. If you are used to embroidering with a hoop, place the fabric in the frame. You need to start working from the upper left corner: this way you won’t get lost when you transfer the drawing from the diagram.





Insert the needle into the top hole on the right side and make a neat diagonal stitch. Next, pull the needle out from the top left corner and complete the first cross stitch. Embroider the pattern in the direction according to the pattern you have.







After the picture is embroidered, you need to carefully wash the fabric in cool water and then iron it from the wrong side. For such a picture, a bright massive frame in brown or gold colors is suitable. Good luck!
