Less Embroidery

Embroidery is the decorative art of making a fabric beautiful by sewing a design

on the fabric with the use of a fine needle and colored thread. Embroidery can be
done with silk or cotton threads for delicate effect. The design is marked on the fabric
with the use of pencil and carbon paper and then outlined and filled up with different
embroidery stitches.
Embroidery was the principal occupation of women at home, of girls in school,
and nuns in the convent during the Spanish period in the Philippines. With the coming
of industrial age, hand embroidery has been partly replaced by machine embroidery.
Filipino women have been regarded as one of the most skillful workers in the
world due to their patience, dedication, and keen eye for detail. Their fine
craftsmanship was translated into world-class Philippines products graded by experts
as superior to those of the French and of the Swiss. Besides this fact, Philippine
embroidered articles had been noted for their excellent workmanship, durability,
beautiful designs and intricate embroidery.

1. Embroidery needles include crewel

needles with long eyes and sharp
points are preferred, for they are
easier to handle than ordinary
needles. The size of the needle varies
according to the texture of the fabrics
or the materials to be embroidered.
2. Threads are sold in spools, balls,
cones, and skeins. They are soft,
shiny, loosely wound, and colorful.
They are usually coded with numbers
and color names.
3. Scissors are small, pointed, and

sharp. They are used for trimming,
scallops, clipping, threads or cutting large
eyelets.
4. Stiletto is a long and rounded tool

used to make a hole into the cloth for
embroidering eyelets. It is made of metal,
wood or plastic.
5. Embroidery hoops or Bastidor is a

supporting frame made of two rounded
pieces of rattan that hold and keep the
material firmly laid out for embroidering.
6. Thimble is a cap-like object made of

plastic or metal that is worn over the
finger to protect it from being pricked by
the needle or pin when embroidering
7. Pincushion is a small cushion which is

designed to hold sewing pins.
8. Embroidery marker is used for

drawing designs on fabric.

9. Embroidery transfer pencil is used for

hot-iron transfer designs.
10. Needle threader makes threading the

needle easier.
11. Masking tape is used to bind edges

of fabric to prevent raveling
12. Dressmaker's carbon paper is used

to transfer designs to cloth.
13. Cloth refers to fabrics or textiles. Fabrics used for embroidery are available in
different thread counts which are cotton, linen, and blends. The selection of fabric will
depend on what you are planning to make and the embroidery technique you want to
use. The following are the most common embroidery fabrics.
a. Evenweave fabrics are tightly woven even

weave fabrics that are best for surface
embroidery, while loosely woven fabrics are ideal
for counted thread, pulled thread, and drawn
thread techniques. The fiber content for
evenweave fabric can be cotton, fabrics are
available in a wide range of colors. Their thread
counts range from a fine, 32-count linen to a
more rustic eighteen-count.

b. Aida cloth is popular with cross stitchers due to

its easy-to-count square pattern. However, it can
also be used for counted thread and surface
embroidery techniques. This cloth is woven with
grouped fibers forming easy-to-follow squares in
the fabric. With cross stitch, one stitch is worked
over each square. Aida is available in a wide
range of solid colors, as well as background
printed, patterned or textured varieties. Fiber
content can be cotton, linen or rayon and it
ranges in size from 11-count to 22-count (the
count being the number of squares per inch of
fabric).
c. Herta cloth is a fabric with a large scale count of 6 squares per inch and is
technically an Aida. It perfect for beginning stitchers because it is very easy to
count.
d. Hardanger fabric is a 100% cotton 22-count
evenweave fabric. It originated in Norway and
woven with a double thread. Each double-
thread group is counted as one. Hardanger
can be used for hardanger embroidery, black
work, cutwork, and counted thread
techniques.
Embroidery Stitches
Before you start with embroidery, you need to learn the different embroidery
stitches.
Outline Stitches
1. Running Stitch. It is the easiest stitch for
outlining. Each stitch must be of equal length
and must travel over three or four threads of the
materials, picking up one or two threads in
between each.
a. Bring the needle through the fabric at one end of the line.
b. Take it back to the wrong side, on the line, a full stitch length away from where it
emerged, and then bring it back up another stitch length away from where it last
passed through the fabric.
c. Continue along the line in this way, ensuring all the stitches and the gaps between
the stitches are the same length.

d. Working back along the row, filling the gaps and creating a solid line stitches is
known as double running stitch or Holbein stitch and is for outlining in preference to
backstitch, particularly in black work.
2. Backstitch. It is a basic embroidery and

sewing stitch used to produce a thin line of
stitching, to outline shapes that will be filled with
satin stitch, or to stitch fabric pieces together.
a. Bring the needle and thread from the back to

the front of the fabric. Put the needle down
through the fabric for about 1/8-inch away from
where it started.
b. Bring the needle up approximately 7-inch away

from where you went down.
c. Pull the thread through
d. Put the needle back down in the same spot as

it did before, taking a backstitch
3. Chain Stitch. It is a looped stitch that can be

worked along a curve or straight line.
a. Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric

and pull the thread through.
b. Put the needle back through the fabric a scant
1/16-inch from where it began, but do not pull
the thread all the way through. Leave a short,
loose loop

c. Bring the needle back up about 14-inch away,

and pull the thread up through the loop.
d. Put the needle back through the fabric, catching
the loop and leaving a new loop through which
to pull the needle on its next stitch.
4. Satin Stitch. It is an easy filling stitch that can
be used to fill smaller areas that are not to be
raised, and has also been called the flat satin
stitch due to its lack of padding.
a. Begin as you would for a running stitch, by

making a single stitch.
b. Bring your needle back up through the fabric

directly next to where you began the first stitch.
c. Make a parallel stitch to the first as close to the

first stitch as possible. Repeat to create a solid
field.
5. Stem Stitch. It is a type of back stitch worked

from left to right. This stitch is used for
embroidering flower stems.
a. Secure the thread at the back of the fabric and

bring it through at A working from left to right.
b. Insert the needle back in the fabric at B coming
through the fabric again at C (this should be
approximately halfway down the length of the
previously worked stitch.
 Looped Stitches
1. Blanket Stitches. It is a stitches used to reinforce the edge of thick materials.
Below are some tips on how to perform blanket stitches.

a. Secure the thread to the back of the

fabric and bring it through at A.
b. Take the needle through to the back
at B and come through to the front
again at C, ensuring the thread is
under the tip of the needle.
c. Pull the thread through gently being
careful not to distort the fabric.
d. Take the needle through to the back of the fabric at D and coming back through to
the front again at E, making sure that the thread is under the tip of the needle.
e. Continue in the same manner. To finish, take the needle through to the back by
taking the thread over the last stitch and securing the thread at the back.
2. Cretan Stitches. This stitch is used
as a filling stitch, especially in crewel
embroidery. Various effects can be
produced by altering the angle of the
stitches or even closing them in or
opening them out. This stitch can be
worked from top to bottom, left to
right, or even right to left, based on
convenience and requirement.
a. Bring the needle out through B. Take
the needle in through D and out the
through C. The D should be slightly
below the point in B. Now keeping the
thread under the needle, pull the
needle out.
b. Repeat the process on the other half.
Take the needle in through A, bring it
out from B, and keep the thread under
the needle, pull it out. Make sure that
A is slightly below D.
c. Keep repeating this process on either
side. A finished pattern should look
like this.

3. Slip Stitch. This is a very old stitch which is used for outlining and also for filling in
colors for patterns.
a. Stitch a straight stitch. Bring the needle through

to the right side of the fabric at A (splitting the
thread with the needle), then take the needle
through to the back of the work at B.
b. Continue this process by bringing the

needle through again at C (splitting the
thread with the needle), and so on, until
the outline is completed.
4. Feather Stitch. The feather stitches are
used in surface embroidery to create airy
lines of stitching along curves or straight
lines.
a. Bring up the needle from B. Put the

needle in through D and bring it out from
C. Note that the points on B and D falls
on a straight line, and C lies diagonally to
both B and D. Pull the needle out with the
thread under it, as shown. Form the first
'V'.
b. Move to make next ‘V'. Continue to put
the needle in through A and bring it out
through B. Pull the needle out with the
thread under it as shown, to make the
next “V".
c. Now, continue the procedure by putting
the needle in through the outer stitch line
and bringing it out from the inner stitch
line. Keep alternating between the left
and right side to make the 'V's- putting in
the needle through A and bringing it out
from B; putting the needle in through D
and bringing it out from C.

5. Flat Stitch. These stitches are used to

form broken or unbroken lines or
starbursts, fill shapes, and create
geometric designs.
a. Bring the needle out from the line A and
put it in through line C. Give it a slight
slant, but not too much.
b. Bring the needle out through line D and

put it in through the line B. Again, bring
out the needle through A and continue the
procedure. Remember to keep the
stitches close to each other.
c. Keep the points on A and D parallel with
each other. Similarly, keep the points on
B and C parallel to each other.
6. French Knot. The French knot is a basic

element of embroidery that can be strung
together to make lines and shapes, or it
can make a field of polka dots.
a. Thread the embroidery needle.
b. Bring the needle up through the fabric to

the front.
c. Wrap the thread around the needle three

or four times. Keep a tight grip on the
thread as you wrap it.
d. Push the needle down through the fabric

just next to where it came out, holding the
thread tight in your fingers.
e. Pull the needle through the knot to the

back of the fabric.

7. Cross-stitch. The cross stitching is the

simplest form of embroidery because
designs are created by combining
multiple x-shaped stitches. Each cross is
a separate unit and is composed of two
cross diagonals of a square. This is why
the materials must have an even warp
and woof thread.

Lesson 2.1 Create

Choosing Embroidery Designs
In selecting an embroidery design, be sure that it is artistically correct and that

it embodies the principles of design. Design is defined as an arrangement of lines
forms, colors, and textures. It involves the proper selection and orderly arrangement of
the materials with two aims- order and beauty.
Pre-Assessment
1. It is the center of interest, the placement of the most important conceptual and
visual portion of the image.
a. Balance in design c. Harmony in visual design

b. Proportion d. Emphasis in design

2. It is the distribution of elements across the design.

3. It means all parts of the visual image relate to and complement each other.

4. It is the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design.

5. It is a surface area that has height, width, and the illusion of depth.
a. Space c. Texture
b. Color d. Line
6. It is the look or feel of the surface quality (rough, smooth, raised, open etc.).
a. Space c. Texture
b. Color d. Line
7. It is the presence or absence of pigments. It is the sensation produced by the
excitation of the optic nerves, which excitation is caused by the vibration of a wave in
the ray of light.
a. Space c. Texture
b. Color d. Line
8. It refers to colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. (example: red and
green).
a. Analogous color harmony c. Triad color harmony

b. Complementary color harmony d. Monochromatic color harmony
9. It is combination of colors with different value or shades of one color.

10. It refers to colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They usually
match well and create serene and comfortable designs.

Principles of Design

1. Balance in design. It is the distribution

of elements across the design. Balance
is a visual interpretation of gravity in
the design. They produce rest and
composure.
2. Proportion. It is the relative size and
scale of the various elements in a
design. The issue is the relationship
between objects, or parts, of a whole.
When the principle of proportion is
applied to embroidery it is usually in the
relationship of size. The size of one
element of the composition as
compared to the size of another related
element. In the instance of a
relationship of size a comparison is
made between the following:
a. height, width, and depth of one element to that of another
b. size of one area to the size of another area
c. size of one element to the size of another element
d. amount of space between two or more elements
3. Harmony in visual design. It means all parts

of the visual image relate to and complement
each other. Harmony can be achieved through
repetition of color, lines, and shape.
4. Emphasis in design. It is the center of
interest, the placement of the most important
conceptual and visual portion of the image.
The focal area does not have to be located in
the center of the image, placing it in off center
to the left or right and either above or below
the center line adds to the interest of the piece
by giving the viewer introductory or supporting
information.

5. Rhythm in design. It is also called repetition

Rhythm allows your design to develop an
internal consistency that makes it easier for
you to make designs. It can be described as
timed movement through space; an easy,
connected path along which the eye follows a
regular arrangement of motifs, lt can be
repeated to create a rhythm to your designs or
repeat a style throughout the product to
provide consistency.
Elements of Design
1. Line. It is a mark used to denote directions or contours.
2. Shape/Form:
a. Shape a two dimensional object or area having height and width.
b. Form a three dimensional object having height, width, and depth.
3. Space. It is a surface area that has height, width, and the illusion of depth.
4. Texture. It is the look or feel of the surface quality (rough, smooth, raised, open
etc.).
5. Color. It is the presence or absence of pigments. It is the sensation produced by

the excitation of the optic nerves, which excitation is caused by the vibration of a
wave in the ray of light.
 Properties of Colors
Colors have three properties. They are hue, value, and intensity. Dimensions are
also called properties, characteristics, or qualities.
1. Hue. It identifies the color family or color name i.e.; Blue, Red, Yellow, etc. Hue
is just another word for the name of the color.
2. Value. It is the lightness or darkness of color. Lightened values are called

"Tints," darkened values are called "Shades," and medium values are called
"Midtones."
3. Intensity. It refers to the brightness or dullness of a color.
 Color Wheel

A color wheel (also referred to as a color circle)

is a visual representation of colors, arranged
according to their chromatic relationship.
Classes of Color
There are three classes of color. They are primary, secondary, and intermediate
colors.
1. Primary colors. The Primary colors are red,

blue, and yellow. Primary colors cannot be
mixed b any combination of other colors. Mixing
equal amounts of red, blue and yellow paint will
produce a dark gray.
2. Secondary colors. Mixing two of the primary
colors makes secondary colors. Blue mixed with
yellow will yield green, red mixed yellow will yield
green, red mixed yellow will yield orange and red
mixed with blue will yield violet.
3. Intermediate colors. Intermediate colors are primary colors that possess a
secondary bias; blue-green, re-violet, and yellow-orange and are made by mixing a
primary and a secondary color together.
Color Harmonies
Color Harmony is a pleasing arrangement of hues.
1. Related color harmony. It is a combination of colors that lie next to each other
on the color chart.
There are two related combinations.
a. Monochromatic color harmony. It is

combination of colors with different value or
shades of one color.
b. Analogous color harmony. It refers to colors that are next to each other on the
color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable
designs.

2. Contrasting color harmonies. These are the combinations of color opposite

each other on the color chart.
a. Complementary color harmony. It refers to

colors that are opposite each other on the color
wheel. (example: red and green).
b. Split-complementary color harmony. It is a
variation of the complementary color scheme. In
addition to the base color, it uses the two colors
adjacent to its complement. This color scheme
has the same strong visual contrast as the
complementary color scheme, but it has less
tension.
c. Triad color harmony. It uses colors that are
evenly spaced around the color wheel. This
scheme is popular among artists because it offers
strong visual contrast while retaining balance, and
color richness. The triadic scheme is not as
contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it
looks more balanced and harmonious.
Transferring the Design in Fabrics

Designs to be embroidered should be neatly transferred on the fabric. The
following are several methods of transferring designs on fabrics.

1. Tracing. This is the simplest method of

transferring design. Use a light colored carbon
paper for light color fabrics. Place the carbon
paper face down on the cloth and lay the designs
on top. Trace the design by using a pencil or any
sharp pointed object.
2. Ironing. The design is transferred by laying out the design on the fabric and
passing a hot flat iron over the transfer sheet. The design will then be imprinted
on the cloth.
Making a Project Plan

In making your project, you must have an accompanying project plan. It is a
guide in assembling any kind of project. It contains the materials and tools to be used
and the procedure in making the project. Here is a sample of a project plan.
Project Plan No. 1 Date Begun:

IV. Design of the Project:
V. Procedure:
1. Draw your own design, and then trace and transfer it with pencil or tracing wheel
with carbon paper onto the fabric.
2. Prepare the fabric for embroidery and mount it in hoop If possible. (Optional)
3. Choose a suitable needle and thread. You may wish to use a thimble. You can try
out a few stitches in one corner to make sure you like the result. You can start
anywhere, but it is often a good idea to start with the background, so that when you
stitch something in the foreground it will be "on top."
4. When the embroidery is complete, remove it from the hoop or frame.
VI. Evaluation: Assess your work using rubrics.
Make an artwork out of recycled materials. Follow the procedures that are discussed
in the lesson. Checking of an individual recycled material using rubrics.

Lesson 3 Recycling
Garbage disposal is one of biggest problems we Filipinos face. There are so

many things we waste, throw away, burn or just take for granted and yet the
sophisticated first world technology for waste processing is not within our reach.
Recycling is one good answer to the worsening problem garbage disposal
since it helps reduce the volume of garbage. Instead of throwing away the scraps we
have at home and waste totally, we can be more imaginative, creative and resourceful
persons by seeing potential in waste materials. There is truth in the saying that “There
is cash in trash." All we need is little entrepreneurial skill and a lot of concern for the

environment. Recycling contributes to the crusade against the decay of mother earth.
So why don't you start converting trash to functional home items for your own
satisfaction and earn cash at the same time?
In this kitchen collection, all shapes and sizes, to stitch just in minutes — using
sewing- basket scraps of yarn or fabric, cans, used clothes, and remnants of clothing
materials, old magazines, PET bottles, and wastes like seeds, dried fruits, flowers,
and twigs. Make a batch for yourself, for great hostess gifts, for bazaar sales, school
fairs, and festivals.

15. A lot of _______________ in recycling can help people and save the environment
as well.
Importance of Recycling
A lot of benefits in recycling can help people and save the environment as well.
The importance of recycling can be observed in many different ways. Here are some
great reasons why recycling is important:
1. Recycling Saves the Earth. Recycling different products will help the
environment. For example, you know that paper comes from trees and many
trees are being cut down just to produce paper. By recycling it paper, you
can help lessen the number of trees that are cut down. Products made from
raw materials that came from our natural resources should be recycled so
that we can help preserve the environment.
2. Recycling Saves Energy. It takes less energy to process recycled materials
than to process virgin materials. For example, it takes a lot less energy to
recycle paper than to create new paper from trees. The energy from
transporting virgin materials from the source is also saved. Saving energy
also has its own benefits like decreasing pollution. As a result, this creates
less stress on our health and our economy.
3. Recycling Helps Mitigate Global Warming and Reduce Pollution. By
saving energy in industrial production through recycling, the greenhouse gas
emissions from factories and industrial plants are lessened. Moreover, the
use of fuels that emit harmful gasses during production is also minimized.
Recycling non-biodegradable waste (rather than burning it) will contribute a
lot to help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gasses that deplete the
ozone layer.

4. Recycling Reduces Waste Products in Landfills. Landfills are mostly

composed of non-biodegradable waste which takes a long time to
decompose. By recycling, you can lessen the waste materials that are
placed into landfills and you are able to make the most out of these
materials.
5. Recycling Can and Profitable Leisure or Hobby. It can also be an income

by producing saleable article like Christmas decors and toys.
Tools and Materials Used for Recycling

Methods and Techniques in Recycling
There are different methods and techniques which can be applied in recycling
discarded materials. For old clothes, quilting, dyeing and embroidery can be used.
Paper Mache, cutting and pasting, weaving and sculpturing and a lot more are used

for reshaping paper materials. Plastic bottle can be recycled into flower vase, plastic
basket and Christmas decoration.
Pointers in Making Pot Holders
Pot holders (unless for decorative purposes only) are subjected to very high
temperatures, so it is a must to use heat resistant materials.
1. For pot holders that are knitted or crocheted, use cotton yarns or cotton
blends scraps. Polyester yarns melt when subjected to very high temperatures. Wool
may be used, however, it scorches easily.
2. For pot holders that are made of fabric swatches, 100% cotton fabric
(swatches) and threads are best to use. Polyester blends may be used for the “front”
or “top” (decorated side) of the pot holder, but it should not be used for the part that
gets in contact with pots and pans (“back” or “palm” side). Muslin cloth is a good
choice for the back part.
3. For padding purposes, use several thicknesses of terry cloth or felt. Do not
use polyester fiber fill or batting. For a puffier effect, use one or two thicknesses of
cotton batting in addition to terry cloth or felt.
4. Do not be limited to the materials/colors given in the individual instructions.
These are only suggestions. Use your creativity and resourcefulness.
5. You may use hand sewing, satin stitch and hand-quilting instead of machine-
stitch, machine zigzag and machine-quilting.
 Calico refers to cotton fabrics (scraps)
 For this purpose, inches will be used instead of centimeters
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Enlarge patterns. Trace individual patterns for pot-holder pieces and appliques.
Cut front of pot holder and appliques from fabrics as indicated in individual
instructions. Cut back and padding same size as front.
To applique: Machine applique by pinning appliques in place and working very
close zigzag stitch over raw edges. To applique by hand, turn under seam allowances
of appliques, clipping curved edges to stitching line every 1/4-1/2; baste. Pin in place
and slip-stitch. To assemble: Baste half of padding to wrong side of front, remainder to
wrong side of back.
For hanging loop, cut a strip of fabric 1-1/4" by 4”. Press under 1/2" on long
edges. Fold in half lengthwise and stitch close to fold. Fold strip to form loop. Matching
raw edges, baste loop to right side of back of pot holder.

Right sides together, pin front to back. Using1/2" seams, stitch around, leaving
an opening for turning. Trim padding close to stitching. Trim padding close stitching.
Trim corners and clip curves. Turn pot holder right out, slip-stitch opening.

Paper Beads
These beautiful paper beads are a great way to use up old magazines. Use
them on a necklace, earrings, or bracelets.
Materials Needed:
 A colorful magazine paper

 Glue
 Gauze wire or any strong string

 Tooth pick
 Paper cutter or scissors
 Varnish (nail or wood varnish)
 Colorful small plastic beads
 Stoppers
Procedure:
1. From an old magazine, tear out a

colorful page.
2. Cut a long triangle.
3. Flip the triangle so the wrong side

is facing up.
4. Roll up the triangle starting with
the larger part (make sure the
whole is big enough to fit your
string). Put glue on about one inch
at the small end.
5. Repeat until you accumulate the
number of paper beads you
desired.
6. Take your string and cut it in the

size you want.
7. Knot a clasp at the end of your
string.
8. Thread your beads onto your

necklace, leaving three inches at
the end.
9. Add clasp at the end.

10. At this stage, with your beads
stringed, you prepare them for
vanishing.
11. Pour some varnish into a

container and hold your stringed
beads from the tip of the string
as you mix them into the varnish.

12. Then hang them on a wire or

rope for an hour. Repeat the
process at least 5 times so that
the whole bead covered in
vanish. Because vanish will
make them stick together, it's
important to always keep them
from clasping together as they
are drying.
13. When you are sure they are dry,
unstring them.
14. Armed with a fresh string and

stoppers (these are for joining
the two strings), tie a knot in the
string and ensure that it is firm.
Do this at the other end too.
15. Make different designs using

colored paper.
16. To give them a unique look, use

small plastic beads in between
the paper beads.
Soda Can Brooch
Materials Needed:
 One empty, clean soda can (per brooch)
 Utility knife
 Strong scissors
 Fine-point Sharpie
 Masking tape
 Cardstock
 Cork or cardboard sheet
 Push pin
 24-gauge colored craft wire

 Five or six glass beads, any size you like

 E-6000 glue
 Pin back
Procedure:
1. Cautiously pierce the wall of the can with a utility

knife.
2. Cut off the top of the can, then cut along one side,
and lastly cut off the bottom.
3. Draw then trace a flower shape on the metal.
4. Cut the flower out with scissors, be careful of the

edges of the metal.
5. Cut one large flower and one smaller flower from

the metal.
6. Gently curl the tips of the petals around a pen or

pencil.
7. Place the flowers on a padded surface and pierce

them with a push pin.
8. On top of a cork or cardboard sheet, place the two

flowers together on top of a cork or cardboard
sheet. Make sure the flowers are oriented as you
like them. Then, use a push pin to pierce through
the metal as shown. Make five or six holes in a
small circle at the center of the flower. Add a
second circle of holes, about 18 inch outside the
first one. Match up the outside holes with the inside
ones, as shown. Be sure to push the push pin
deeply through the metal to make fairly large holes.
This will make the upcoming wiring step easier.

9. Poke the end of a strand of wire through the first

hole, leaving about a 2-inch tail at the back of the
flower.
10. Cut a 24-inch length of craft wire. Poke one end

through one of the inner holes in the metal, as
shown in the picture. Leave a 2-inch length of
wire at the back of the flower. String a bead onto
the other end of a wire, sliding it along until it
rests on the front of the flower. Poke the end of
the wire down through the outer hole, and pull it
along until you have a 1-inch loop.
11. Gently twist that loop with your fingers, starting at the bead and twisting your way
toward the tip. Leave a small loop at the tip. This forms a stamen for the flower.
12. Continue adding beads and making stamen. This will create wire "stitches" on the
back of the flower.
13. Repeat this process to add more beads and wire stamens to the center of the
flower.
14. With all the beads wired on, twist the two remaining ends of the wire together and
trim them.
15. Apply E-6000 glue to the back of the flower. Cut a small circle from a scrap of
soda can and press this over the glue.
16. Cover the wire with a leftover piece of the can, then glue on a pin back.

Aluminum Soda Can Earrings

Materials
Needed:
 An empty, clean can

 Scissors or tin snips
 paper hole punch
 thumbtack/pushpin
 Jump rings or fine chain
 Needle nose pliers or a pair of tweezers
 Earring backs
Procedure:
1. Cut the aluminum can to turn it into a
sheet of metal. Jab the scissor tip
into the can to start a hole. Cut
around the top of the can, cut a slit
down the side, and then cut the
bottom off the can
2. To cut the shapes from the can, use
your hole punch. It can take a lot of
pressure to cut through a can. Make
sure that you cut against a table or
other hard surface instead of just
using your hands. Be careful - cut
aluminum edges may be sharp.
Usually, the punch dulls the edges.
Use fine grit sandpaper, or even an
emery board to sand down the
edges if you find the edges sharp.

3. Play around with your cut pieces to

decide how you want them to hang.
Do you want a single large piece?
Do you want to hang several pieces
to create a dangle earring?
4. Use the pushpin to make a small
hole where you need a jump ring to
attach to the piece after deciding
how you want your pieces to hang.
5. Use your needle nose pliers or
tweezers to bend a jump ring (or end
of a small length of chain, as shown)
open just wide enough to slip into the
thumbtack hole.
6. Close the ring to keep the metal
shape from slipping back out.
7. Open the loop on the end of your

carring back.
8. Slip the open loop through the jump

ring or at the other end of your length
of chain.
9. Close the earring's loop.

Materials and Tools for Gift Wrapping
1. Tissue paper. Keep an assortment on hand so that you can mix and match
different colors and patterns.
2. Boxes. Keep the ones that are in good condition and use them from year to year.
Save space by storing small ones in larger ones.
3. Wrapping paper. Keep wrapping paper on hand for all different occasions, or
always have a standard paper such as ivory enamel, on hand that can be used for any
occasion.
4. Ribbon. Keep an assortment of colors, widths, and types on hand. Remember that
one type of ribbon is better for some styles of bows than it is for others.
5. Yarn. This is also good to have in a variety of colors, especially bright shades for
children's gifts and pastels for baby gifts.
6. Curling ribbon. This type of ribbon comes in an array of colors and is used to
decorate smaller gifts, to accent large boxes, or to attach an ornament to a package.
7. Lace. This traditional materials adds nice touch to wedding gifts. White and ivory
are good, basic colors to keep on hand.
8. Ornaments. Any kind of ornament or small novelty item can be used to decorate a
package, and it should vary to suit the tastes of individual recipients or the event being
celebrated.
9. Gift Tags. Keep an assorted that coordinate with the wrapping paper you have on
hand, as well as a few plain white cards that can be used anytime.
10. Gift Wrap Cutter. It is great for cutting paper and has a built-in ribbon curler. It
creates clean, straight lines when cutting gift wrap and has a protective blade.
11. Tape Dispenser. It makes gift wrapping easier because you wear the tape
dispenser on your wrist and it dispenses pre-cut strips of tape.
12. Small, pointed Scissors. These are great for cutting flowers, wire-edge ribbon
and other embellishments. Scissors that are too large will tire out your hands when
you have lots of wrapping to do.

13. Measuring String. Specifically a piece of cotton approximately two yards long
with a knot tied at each end, makes it easy to measure around your box to
determine the length of gift-wrap paper you will need.
14. Florist Tape. It makes stems for your ribbon flowers.
15. Pinking Shears. It can be used to make ribbon flowers
16. Glue and Tape. It is used to fasten sides and ends
Eco Friendly Gift Wrapping Ideas

1. Reused Gift Bags. Most of us have a stash of gift bags saved from presents we’ve
received. Put them to good use and commit to using only gift bags instead of
wrapping. Also, if you feel a gift bag isn’t finished without a filler like tissue paper,
use a greener option.
2. Paper Grocery Bags. You can create beautiful gift bags from materials found
around the house Decorate paper grocery bags with makes and crayons, or
decoupage them with magazine cut-outs. Use them wrapping paper or a gift sack.
Put on the finishing touch with scrap ribbon previous projects.
3. Reusable Cloth Bags. Do you have scrap fabric lying around? Or maybe some old
shirts lovely patterns you never wear. Try your hand at some easy sew cloth bags.
Since you're making them by hand, you can sew them to suit your needs. You can
also design them to be practical for the recipient as a shopping bag. Your
imagination is the limit.
4. Clay pots. Clay pots can make a present look extra interesting and are reusable
item for the recipient. Place your gift in the pot, and use the drainage drainage dish
as the led to hide the present from view. Tie it together with a reused ribbon or
strips of scrap fabric. You can also decorate the pot to personalize it using ceramic
markers available at craft stores.
5. A Gift in a Gift. One great way to make a gift extra special is to wrap it in another
gift. A hand-knit scarf, a beautiful table cloth or runner, and hand-made purse or
similar items are all great things to use for wrapping a gift within a gift
6. Furoshiki. It is a method of folding cloth into beautiful packages. Using a piece of

beautifully printed cloth and a few knots in interesting places will create an eye-
catching package.

7. Paper Waste. Raiding the paper recycling bin is a great way to get materials for gift
wrap. Magazine pages, notes from a class, the crossword puzzle from yesterday's
paper all could become ideal wrapping material for a package with personality.
8. Cereal Boxes. For clothing, accessories, and gifts on the thinner side; a cereal box
is a great option for a unique container.
How to Wrap a Gift

1. Make sure you have enough work space, and then
roll out the wrapping paper. Be sure you have
enough paper to fit around the entire gift. Measure
if necessary, leaving a few extra inches to be sure
that the box are completely covered.
2. Once the paper is cut to the right size, place your

gift face down in the middle of the paper. Bring
paper from the long side of the box, up to the
middle of your package. Pull both sides tightly so
the paper hugs your package smoothly.
3. Next, close the ends. Face the open end towards
you and fold the right and left edges, pushing the
sides in next to your box, to form flaps.
4. Fold top flap down to the box, pulling it tightly.
Then, tape it. Fold the bottom flap up tightly and
tape it. Repeat on the other side of package.
5. Position box so that the top is facing up. Run your
thumb and forefinger across the edges of the box
to create a creased edge. Repeat on bottom of
the box.
Gift Bag
1. Stick a strip of the double sides tape
along one of the bottom edges of the
page on the side that you don't want
to use.
2. Then pull it over and stick to the right
side of the other end of the page to
form a tube.

3. Fold it in flat position.
4. Then open it and fold it flat an inch along from the first told.
5. Decide which will be the bottom and the

top of the bag and fold the bottom edge
as if you are folding the corners of a
parcel. You can slide something inside
the bag and fold round it.
6. Stick the flaps down with a strip of double
sided tape.
7. The bottom of the bag should look like

this.
8. Stand it up and fold it flat two thirds of the

way down.
9. Then fold over the top and use the

puncher to make a hole for the ribbon.

10. Thread a ribbon through and tie it in a

bow.
Ribbon Making
Materials Needed:
 Ribbon for about 36" to make the small bow
 24 gauge wire - an 8-10" length
1. Hold the ribbon between your thumb

and forefinger. "Scrunch" the ribbon
into your thumb with the forefinger of
your other hand to make the ribbon
start to bunch up in the center.
2. Make the first loop and scrunch in the
center.
3. Twist the ribbon 180 degrees so the

right side is facing you.
4. Make another loop and scrunch the

center so it looks gathered. Finish the
Floral Bow.
Classic Bow
1. Make two loops in the ribbon. Form
the left loop first. Make sure the tails
of the ribbon are in back and that the
slack between the two loops point
towards you.
2. Cross the left loop over the right
loop.

3. Continue wrapping the left loop over

and behind the right loop. Pull it
through the opening created in the
slack area, and form a loose knot.
4. Adjust the loops and tails, and then
pull the loops to tighten the knot.
Trim the tails on an angle.
Layered Bow
1. Cut several pieces of ribbon, each
two inches longer than the previous
one. For the center loop, cut a piece
two to three times as long as the
ribbon is wide.
2. With ribbon facedown, adhere a piece

of double-stick tape to the center of
each ribbon. Fold ends to the center
and press to adhere, forming two
loops. Tape ends of center loop
together. For the bottom layer, cut a
piece of ribbon slightly longer than
the longest looped piece, and notch
the ends.
3. Stack the looped ribbons on top of
the bottom layer from longest to
shortest. Adhere the centers with
double-stick tape.
4. Center the bow on the package.
Thread a long ribbon through the
center loop and wrap it around the
package, securing the bow by using a
tape.
Rosette Bow
1. Wrap the ribbon around your palm for
eight to 10 times.

2. Hold the wrapped ribbon between

your thumb and fingers. Use the
scissors to notch the ribbon at center
point on each side, cutting through
every layer. If your ribbon is too thick to
cut all the layers at once, cut in half at a
time.
3. Wrap florist’s wire around the ribbon
in the notches. Twist the wire tightly and
trim the ends.
4. Spread out the loops. Add tails to the
bottom of the rosette if desired.
