Good morning everyone, today I'm going to show you how to make this beautiful embroidery hoop art design. I got the idea of painting a woman's portrait with elegant flowers from a YouTuber called Dalia. She's so talented and creative. ( I'll leave a link to her youtube channel here.) In her video, she used pressed flowers as the women's hair. I didn't have any on hand, so I decided to embroider mine instead. If you are new at embroidery,  I used the wagon wheel pattern to create beginner-friendly roses. 

MATERIALS:

• Embroidery hoop
• Embroidery thread & needle
• linen Fabric
• Puffy Paint
• Scissors
• Pencil

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Sketch a simple portrait of a woman with a pencil.

2.) Trace the woman's silhouette with black paint. 

3.) Allow the paint to dry.

5.) Draw a circle (the size you want the rose to be.) 

6.) Draw 5 lines coming out from the center. ( It should look like a wagon wheel.)

7.) Bring the needle up through the middle of the wagon wheel and stitch the five lines.

8.) Next, weave the needle in and out of the wagon wheel. (Weaving the thread over and under.) 

9.)Keep weaving the needle until the wagon wheel is full.

10.) Decorate the roses with leaves.
