have you ever looked at silk ribbon embroidery and thought it just looked
too complicated and difficult well I'm here to tell you today nothing can be
further from the truth silk ribbon embroidery is so easy to do
and the results are just spectacular today I'm going to show you how you can
design and create sweet pieces of jewelry using just a few inches of silk
ribbon and some basic stitches hi there creative people sandy here
welcome to another jewelry making video at keepsakecrafts.net so not too long
ago I made a video showing you the basics of silk ribbon embroidery if you
want to watch that I will link it up here in the cards those are called but
today I'm going to show you how you can take those basics and turn them into
just the sweetest little pieces of jewelry here is one that I made here are
a few ways I think are nice to finish silk ribbon embroidery rather than just
have it out of fabric it's nice to have some kind of finish that just won't
frames it like these little frames or these little cameo frames that you can
get at your craft store both of these I got at my local craft store this is
something's been in my stash for ages it's actually a charm that's meant to go
this way but you could make a little template for it and make yourself a
piece that would fit in this side and then of course the back would look nice
when it flips around as in jewelry inevitably does this is a ring bezel that I
got at artbeads.com and that would be just a really cute ring you could design
whatever you want in there and I believe this one I got it art beads and this I
think was also from the craft store it might have been from the dollar bead box
this one could be a little bit trickier where it's shallow if you have something
deep that really is the easiest way to do it but once you have your frame
chosen you just need to trace it now these ones were pretty easy they just
come with a little paper in there and a couple of plastic inserts and I
slid them out and traced them onto a piece of paper so I had an exact
representation of the size this one was a little trickier because of the design
so what I did I just went through my stuff and found something so this little
steampunk thingy was exactly the right size so I traced around it if you can't
find something like that you can just put it under a piece of paper and use a
pencil to do a rubbing and get a size like with something like these with the
fancy frame just do a pencil rubbing and that will give you your size that you
can design it and then you can start sketching in that video with the silk
ribbon basics I showed you these cute little beads and and that's what I put
in this one and I also showed you this little dragonfly
which I put in this one I've got flowers and sweet little insects you can do
anything you want you can just build with simple shapes this is a spiderweb
rose which is so much fun to do so you just start sketching and get your
composition it's actually a pretty good exercise for compositional design it was
one of those exercises when I was in art school they made us do paintings on the
insides of match boxes not to make us paint in miniature but to help you to be
able to see a composition if it looks good small you know thumbnail so to
speak size it'll look good better bigger so get your composition down and like in
this one you can see that even though this opening is the exact same as this
things work out they often get a little bit bigger in the stitches so this
design a couple of the elements had to be eliminated to fit it all in there now
then you'll want to mark your design on the denim I just used a white marking
pencil which you can get at any sewing supplies store oh and by the way I just
came across this one which came in May 2018 Dollar Bead Box this will
definitely give you a little bit more real estate to play with in your design
give it a little bit more breathing room because this one is a tad bit crowded I
still think it's cute but so you use your imagination look around at what you
have and what you can find and there'll be all kinds of opportunities for
framing these little pieces but what you'll need is a pencil I like using my
mechanical pencil because it gives me a very fine line you can possibly trace it
I'm not going to bother to try to trace it I'm just going to use my circle shape
to lightly you might want to test this most of the time you can erase the
pencil off of fabric but you might want to just do a test over here let's see
sometimes the erasers by the way that come with the mechanical pencils are
wretched so you might want to get like a big eraser to do the job but that looks
good that erased fine there's my circle here's my design I'm just gonna just
kind of just for guidelines I won't necessarily follow it exactly but just
to kind of get an idea of where my composition is yeah I like that okay so
then the next step is to put it in a hoop as I mentioned in the basics video
I like the hoop that screws on I know they have the type that's spring tension
tension now and it's a little bit easier it's a tiny bit less work to manage but
I like to be able to get my things in here like drum taut I love that sound
when you pull you first pop your needle through and it just makes that that
sound so for this particular piece I only used two stitches I used a straight
stitch and a colonial knot that was it for the silk ribbon for the thread
I used a stem stitch and a lazy daisy and also colonial knots and that's it
they're so basic so simple you'll want to use a chenille needle because it has
a nice big shaft which may be counterintuitive you may think you'd
want to use something with a smaller shaft but what you want is to make a
large hole for the silk ribbon to pass through the fabric so that it doesn't
get totally wrecked and abraded so for my butterfly I've picked two colors two
shades of pink so I'm going to do two wings in each color and that's it two
stitches of each which means you do not need to cut much for this I'm going to
cut about five inches which will be way more than I'll need I showed
this in the basics but I'll show it again you just thread your needle pop
the point of the needle through the corner an eighth of an inch from the
end and pull it down over the eye and now that's secure on your needle it's
not gonna come off to make a knot on the other end you poke through about an
eighth of an inch and then an eighth of an inch in each to a quarter
whichever yeah this will make a pretty small knot it should be fine now because
this little canvas is so small you want to do some planning I'm going to be
stitching from here to here and then I'll go because this is so close I'll go
from here to here I want to start out here because there's no other stitching
to be done out here so this is where I will leave my knot so where you are working in
such a tiny space you do want to kind of plan that the key to working with silk
ribbon is to control it so an awl or another needle is helpful I'm going to
take a moment and just straighten it out so that it's all straight when I go back
down for my stitch and you'll see why I'm gonna go back
down there and often your finger is enough to just kind of make it behave
its that twisted so I'm just gonna stick my all in there and let's see how it
straightened it out and the key is to not pull tight now you have that really
pretty shape this is what happens if you pull tight it looks like nothing so what
you want to do and if you do that by mistake that's okay you can put your
your needle or your awl in there and fluff it up again there's one wing now
when I'm pulling this on this side and if you have a lot of stitches you'll
want to take a look on the other side make sure you're not trying to go
through a knot or something else again because the stitches are so few and the
way they the tension matters and the position of the ribbon matters it's
worth it to take the time to just straighten it out now I'm gonna come
down here I'm probably going to be piercing the thread on the other side
and that's that's okay sometimes what you can do is actually
hold the previous stitch between your fingers so I've got it pinched between
these two my thumb and my other finger so that I don't mess up the tension and
that is two little wings that's it now I'm just going to go under here and if
there was more ribbon I might go under another piece I think I'll just trim
this and I'll probably try to pierce that with another thread and see this
was probably twice as much as I needed although you did need you do need some
too you know the length of the needle to be able to maneuver it now I will repeat
with the darker pink color by the way all of this silk ribbon was sent to me
by the folks at Thread Nanny they sent an absolutely
gorgeous assortment of silk ribbons that I have been enjoying using for all kinds
of things if you want to know other ways you can use this beautiful stuff I've
done a video showing how you can knit with it using a really cool knitting
tool from your craft store I've shown you have the basics of using it in fact
I have a video planned coming up all the different ways you can use silk ribbon
in jewelry but I've been doing embroidery of one sort or another since
I was a little girl probably eight or ten I just find it to be such a peaceful
and relaxing pastime and you end up with something beautiful at the end just I
think instead of having machines going all you need is some good light and a
needle and you your thread and a hoop and you're set to go so now I'm just gonna
repeat the exact same steps there we go and keep in mind it's the finer point
okay because the ends are pinched your stitch will look a little smaller when
you're done making it then it like if you look from here to here and you think
it's that long it'll end up looking a little smaller whoops let's see how I
that there's a case where I want to hold that so I don't wreck it
on the way down and then check on the back see what I'm coming up through and
I pulled that a little tight so I'll just Oh, it might be a little, oh I think that
stitch is a little short just undo your needle if you can't go
back down cleanly and the way I do that I just cut that little tiny bit off
and since you're doing so few stitches it really is worth it to get them
looking just the way you want I mean you know you who knew that a straight stitch
looks so pretty so I'm gonna grab that again and I can actually see my hole
that I was previously and that's what I mean that it it kind of looks longer
when you're planning it with your needle but it shrinks up a bit just because of
the shape of the ribbon ribbon I think that's gonna be a little too long
because we're working in such a tiny scale moving a couple of threads over
can make a difference
yeah
hold that
come down near it but not right on it
and like that over there we go
cute little butterfly wings
I'm just going to slide this through there and I need to go back through it call it
good
and yeah because this is white fabric I don't want to leave a tail that long it
may show through on the other side and that would look very pretty I had a
couple thoughts for the body I have some black here but I thought that was kind
of stark so somewhere I have some bugle beads I haven't even checked these yet I
grabbed them on my way down here oh that's cute let's see shall we do a
purple one yes that's adorable oh I like that so yeah you can you could do a
stitch with black embroidery floss if you need to make it smaller or black or
any color you want silk ribbon and just you could pull it tight like that
stitch I showed you before that would make a little body but I thought yeah
yeah some beads adds just some nice sparkle and a little bit of a different
texture and I have these easy tiny little 15/0 seed beads
the problem with bugle beads is that they can be they are notoriously sharp
and cut threads so what I'm going to do just put one of these little round seed
beads at each end so when the thread goes through the bugle bead it's not
making a 90-degree bend against that sharp edge to go down into the fabric
instead it's going straight across through the little green seed bead and
then it takes its 90-degree bend through the fabric so you have a much less
chance of it being of the bead cutting the thread but here is my brand new
package of beading needles which I haven't even opened yet tulip beading
needles the thing about beading needles is
opposed to sewing needles is that the eye is the same thickness as as the
whole length of the needle oh gosh these are tiny let me see if I can find the
biggest one in here if you flatten it with your nail because the eye of a
needle is flat that will often help and if you pinch it between your thumb and
index finger leave just the tiniest bit sticking up and also trim them on a
diagonal they're all tricks
for threading needles Wow I got that and I didn't even use my magnifying
light amazing all right and my eyes are pretty bad these days there it goes okay
so we've got a little 15/0, a bugle bead and a 15/0, maybe... come back bouncy little
thing there we go okay Wow
all right so I'm going to slide all those down right onto my butterfly oh
he's cute oh I like the little butterfly okay make sure they're all down I don't
really want any thread showing at this point I could if I wanted to actually
put my sewing needle back on but this will work and I'm gonna make little
antennae because I can so there's my little butterfly and now I can tie off
go through a couple of things on the back make sure I'm not going across anything
where this dark green thread is gonna show on the right side then you can
leave a little loop and go through it pull that tight and go through the other
loop and that's a great way to make a knot and if you want to just kind of run
it through something else
I'm using this now because the next thing I'm going to do are my little
stems where's my drawing just to show you I want to do these stems and then I
will put leaves with the same green and I'll add a little knotted flowers the
stems again I'm gonna plan I'm going to come down this way and then up this way
so I don't have any bridges of thread showing underneath and this is a basic
embroidery stitch called a stem stitch I've got my sketch I don't know how well
you can see it I can barely see it but I'm just going to lay my... I've got my thread
there I'm just gonna have my needle come down and then up maybe about a third of
the way halfway into the previous stitch like that this is a nice way to get
pretty smoothly curved and the tighter you want it to curve the smaller you
need to make your stitches then there are all kinds of variations on this you
could do a chain like a bunch of daisy chain stitches whatever you want if
you're familiar with embroidery stitches I'm just gonna fill in this last one so
that it's double thickness like the rest that's nice I'm going to do the other
one so many of you have told me that you really enjoy my tutorials you like my
teaching style which just makes me so happy because I like teaching you and
you've told me you've been encouraged and inspired by my videos and that just
thrills me to pieces if you would like to get I don't like that that is too
straight it's not a nice curve so don't be afraid to take
something out and see those holes that are left in they're easy to manage let
me get this last one, take a nail, kind of scrub over it, and they disappear but I was saying so
many of you have told me that you enjoy my videos that I started making bonus
videos available for those of you who are my patrons just my way of giving
back and saying thank you to those who support me financially because you know
I love doing this but it does cost me time and money and materials and I'm
always having to order things although I try to use what I have on hand
I often have to place orders and get things so that I have enough of a
variety to show on the videos so it's really nice that at the moment there are
41 of you who support me on Patreon which is about a tenth of one percent of
the people who subscribe to this YouTube channel wouldn't it be fun if we could
get even one percent of or half of one percent of the people who subscribe to
this channel to and benefit from it to support me on Patreon that would be just
so cool all right what I've I got here and I've got my two stems I'm now going to
make some little leaves I'm going to do those lazy daisy stitch style and the
way you do that and you can do this with to make flowers like daisies you can do
it with silk ribbon and it's this beautiful fluffy thing which if you
watch the basics video you'll see it also makes nice little leaves and the
way you do that is you're going to plan a loop think of it as a loop of thread
and that will be tacked down up here so what you want to do is come out where
you want the bottom of your loop to be and go back down right next to it
very close to it and then come out again where you want your loop to be and
notice that the needle is going over the thread and then when you pull it up
you can see how you can you could pull it tight you can leave it leave it loose
I know you can't see it real well on the dark blue but that's what these all are
the grass bits are just lazy daisy stitches and then to finish it you just
come down right next to where you came out but over that loop oh there's that
pop I just love that sound okay I'll just do that for a couple more so you
can do it all in one so you can leave it loose I'll pull it a little more tight
and these look lovely in the silk ribbon because they just kind of get all lacy
you can make that right there longer or shorter it looks it looks okay longer
for the leaves I'm just gonna put two on each stem that's cute okay and I'm just
gonna tie this off on the back the same way I did before you can do a couple
things to make these little dots you could use beads that would be really
pretty little tiny beads you could make knots with silk ribbon which is how I
made the bees their little heads are just black knots and even this single
flower here but I think what I'm going to do is use embroidery floss because
this is pretty big for what I've sketched here these are some really tiny
knots and that is a pretty big flower to have going down here in this little itty
bitty composition you can kind of get an idea although you
can't see it all so I'm going to use some embroidery floss I just have this
purple variegated and I think I'm gonna break it down to just three strands and
I will show you how to make a colonial knot you've probably heard of French
knots I've always found French knots to be annoying because they will, they
wouldn't stand up straight they would kind of flop over and not always behave
the way I wanted them to and then I discovered I think it was somebody was
candlewicking which is embroidering just with knots I believe it's been ages
since I saw it but I saw the colonial knot which is instead of wrapping around
and around it's more of a figure eight now here's a trick if you need to
separate your floss you can't see me but I'm gonna stick this other end in my
mouth and hold some tension on it and I know I'm sorry you can't really see that but
keeping the tension on the other end makes it makes it separate beautifully
so interestingly for this silk ribbon embroidery the only is silk ribbon I
used on this was the four little wings but you get the idea that you can do all
sorts of things like this his head is a single black colonial knot with silk
ribbon and then his body is two yellow straight stitches and a black straight
stitch which kind of gets lost in the head and his wings are two white
straight stitches for the little flower it's just straight stitches exact same
thing I did on the butterfly but just shaped this way and then the leaves in
the grass are just straight stitches with the lighter green silk ribbon in
amongst the floss so the two kind of work together nicely if you're doing
little itty-bitty things oh and there's the uh, I've got the dragonfly over here so you
can probably guess by now what this is it's just four straight stitches
and then these are beads you may have to adjust things from your sketches because
like I said it it when you're drawing it with a pencil it looks like you have a
lot more space than you actually end up having I'm also gonna trim off this
little bit of a tail below the knot because that's gonna be up at the top
here and I don't want any of that to show on the backside so I'm gonna start
here I think I showed the colonial knot on the basics but that's okay so you
pull through where you want your knot to be you hold the needle in your dominant
hand and you hold the thread in your non-dominant hand with a loop that is
facing your dominant hand you go over the part of the loop that's closest and
under the part that's farthest away like that then you bring the the thread up
and over the needle furthest away from you and back down closer to you just try
it just follow the steps and you'll get it and then put your needle down and
notice I'm pulling this tension so I've got tension on it put your needle down
right next to where you came up and you just, I'm just kind of holding this and
sliding it and letting that knot go right there and I'm gonna hold it with
the thumb of my non-dominant hand as I poke that down and you may say Whoa what?
really once you get it you can't forget it you just loop go over and over the
part closest to you under the part furthest from you and then bring it up
and over and around so can you see the figure-eight that I've made with it pull
that tight and go back down right next to where you came in and that's it
now this video is pretty long already so I think I'm going to finish this
off-camera and in the next part I will show you how to finish these because
there are a variety of ways of doing it like this is a bit of a puzzle to figure
out how to get it in here there are different ways of finishing these so
that they look really nice and a little beautifully finished piece of jewelry so
if you're interested in the supplies I use click on the little "i" in the upper
right of the video and or the link in the description box that will lead you
to my blog post where I always have a complete supply list see how I could
control that by just pulling it tighter? It was a little big. Oh where was I? Oh, blog post,
supply list ,click here to find it and take a look at my Patreon page if you
