Round Mirror Work

Round Mirror Work
One of the easy mirror work is Round Mirror Stitch, which even begginer's can try.

I always use chain stitch in round mirror work, as this gives simple and neat look. Without glue or Fevicol, you can stitch the mirror work.

Things required are:
Mirror - Small / Medium / Big
Hoops
Cloth / Fabric
Threads - Any colour Anchor threads
Needle

Method:

# Place the mirror, where you need to stitch. Draw an outline placing the mirror.
Make sure, outline is slightly bigger than the mirror.

# Use running stitch for Outline.


# In the running stitch, create loops....take the needle outside to inside as shown in the fig.
# Which will look like a flower.


# Place the round mirror, in the centre, hold the mirror with your left hand thumb.
Press it in the centre of the mirror tightly.
Pull the thread from the other hand.
# Pull the thread well. It will get fixed well.
Start with Chain stitch.

You can even use, Blanket stitch, Lasy daisy Stitch to decorate your mirror work.

Square Mirror Work

Square Mirror Work!
Mirror work, itself is a decorative piece.
This is very easy and can be done without glue or Fevicol.

Things required are:
Square Mirror,
Fabric,
Needle,
Thread

Keep the Square Mirror, in the place where you need to stitch. Make a frame with the thread on four sides, of the Square Mirror. 

Need to make double frame with the help of the thread.

Make a knot at the back of the frame, but don't cut the thread. From any side can take the thread, leaving some space, and take the needle above the thread and bring it below and take the needle next to the Stitch.

When it comes to the corners, take all the four threads together.

Do not pull the thread tomuch, as it might change the shape of the mirror.
As it will look like a border for the mirror work.
Pl. Do try and provide your comments.
Thank you.
